Rules of the game
  • Remember that you have to make a better hand than the pirate until the pirate (or you) looses the round.
  • You have to win 3 rounds before the pirate. If you loose, you can start again even without loading a previous save.
The valid hands
Here are the hands, by strenght :
  • Pair : two identical dices
  • Two pairs : two sets of two identical dices
  • Three of a kind : three identical dices
  • Straight : five dices in a sequential rank (for instance 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
  • Full : three identical dices, and two identical dices
  • Four of a kind : four identical dices
  • Five of a kind : five identical cards

Remember the joker count as any number you want (or would like), use it to announce your best hand.
Some advices
  • Assume the pirate never lies. Every time I was supposing the contrary, I failed.
  • You should never lie on how good your drawing is, the pirate will spot it immediately.
How to beat the pirate
When drawing :
  • Announce the higher hand you actually have (even a pair or a two-pair)
  • Trust the pirate
  • Select strategic dices to redraw if the pirate anounced a higher drawing. Try to get a Full or a Four of a kind, it's easy with jokers : keep the jokers and the identical dices, and redraw the others.
  • Announce the higher hand you actually have
  • If the pirate has better than Four of a kind, then he is probably lying, and he looses
  • If the pirate doesn't trust you, then you didn't lied and he looses

I hope it helps, it worked for me.

Thanks, I didn't know that "literal pokerface" trick.

This isn't necessary. The achievement is called Pokerface because you can beat it by literally putting on a Pokerface. Put your face disguise on that you got from the ogre and the pirate will never be able to read your bluffs. After that, you can ALWAYS call four of a kind and he will not challenge you. He'll be forced to say five of a kind and the odds of him actually having that are basically none. So he automatically loses.

It's the easiest thing in the world by cheating.
