Casino Playing Hongkong Poker

Chinese poker or Hongkong poker, known as “Xito” in Vietnamese, is the Asian version of Poker and is similar to the popular casino game Texas Hold'em. It is a highly skilled game in which the objective is not only to win but to win the most from the opponents.

Hongkong poker uses only 28 cards from 8 to Ace in a standard deck. Each player is given 2 cards: the first card is shown to only the player and is hidden from all others; the second card is shown to all. The rest of game play is the same poker hold'em

 

This game also call short deck holdem

 

Surprisingly, I had never heard of Hong Kong poker before. Moreover, I did not find anywhere a normal description of this version of the game. And about Chinese, I found there are more differences than you wrote. I will write the difference in Objectives, and everything else can be found on the Internet.
Objectives
Texas Hold’em: You need to create the best possible hand from the two cards you’re dealt, and the five community cards on the table.

Open-Face Chinese Poker: You need to create three separate hands that add up to the greatest possible points score from the 13 cards you’re dealt. As stated above, the best hand must be placed in the bottom row, the second-best hand in the middle row, and the worst (three-card) hand in the top row. The cards can be set in any combination across the three hands, and once they’re set they can’t be moved.
