Pineapple poker is a version of holdem poker where you get 3 cards dealt to you instead of 2, and you discard one of them. In regular pineapple, you discard one of the cards before the flop, and in crazy pineapple, you discard one of the cards after the flop.

Quick strategy tip: the more cards you're dealing with, the tighter you should play. (The fewer hands you should play rather than fold.) Pineappe poker involves more cards than regular Texas holdem, so you should tighten up for this game, but not play as tight as you would if you were playing Omaha.

Pineapple Poker at Ultimate Bet

Ultimate Bet offers both versions of Pineapple Poker, and they generally have a decent amount of players at their pineapple tables. Ultimate Bet would probably be my first choice in terms of a place to play Pineapple for that reason. You can read a full review of Ultimate Bet poker here, or you can visit UltimateBet.com here.

Pineapple Poker at Paradise Poker

The Pineapple tables at Paradise Poker don't seem as active as the pineapple tables at Ultimate Bet, but Paradise is a great place to play online, and they have a lot of great features. You can read a full review of Paradise Poker here, or you can visit ParadisePoker.com directly here.
