The whole thing is based on points, and all you have to do before starting the game is to agree on the value of the point, and it will determine how much you will win or lose. You do not need chips, and there is no betting going around as you are used to seeing in other poker formats. (In the case of Pineapple poker there could be just two or three players) You should be aware that this game can be played by two, three, or four players with a standard 52-card deck.
As I mentioned before, this game is played in an entirely different way, and you surely want to learn the OFC poker rules before jumping on the tables.
