十三支擺法
頭墩3張、中墩5張、尾墩5張，共13張。 頭墩牌型必須少於中墩牌型，中墩牌型必須少於尾墩牌型，否則稱為「相公」或「擺烏龍」，必須全賠。（牌型順序是： 頭墩牌型《中墩牌型《尾墩牌型）
比牌方式
先比牌型，前面、中間和後面的牌進行比較大小，最大的就是贏；如果牌型相同時，就比較點數大小，從大到小進行比較；如果牌型和點數大小都相同，就比花色；如果全部都相同就是平手。
- 五張：一條龍>同花順（柳丁）>鐵支（四梅）>葫蘆>同花>順子>三條>兩對>一對>單張（散牌、烏龍）
- 三張：衝三>一對>單張
加堵
比牌過程各家以頭、中、尾墩輪流比較墩牌，比牌時除牌面大小勝負之外，另有特殊牌加堵以及打槍或是全壘打加堵。
Being able to see the other cards on the table can help you determine which cards are still left in the deck, and what the likelihood is that you might get that certain card that you need to make your hand. Pay attention to those removed cards so that you can better calculate your outs and odds accordingly.
The front hand still makes up 33% of the total points you’re going to score (win or lose) each round. Therefore, don’t just try to make strong hands in the back and middle hands, giving up unnecessarily on the smallest hand of the three. It still carries great importance and can help shift your losing sessions into winning ones, if you keep focusing on how you can arrange your cards the best all-around, including your front hand.(來源)
守住頭道：直接避開被打槍的機會
一道牌是相對好拿分的牌，畢竟在正常情況下都是贏一注，第一道只需要三張牌就可以贏得勝利，而且許多玩家都會把大牌拿去湊中道或尾道！
但頭道放不放大牌還是要取決於中道能否有絕對優勢，沒有優勢就直接集中在頭道攻擊對家，努力爭取被打槍的機會，加上在特定情況下，某些牌型放頭還會有加倍贏注！
When you’re playing Chinese Poker with the 6-1-rule, the loss of all three hands costs six times as much as the loss of only two hands in one game. Some hand types are very susceptible to a scoop: a straight with two or fewer pairs, three pairs or four small pairs are the most susceptible candidates for a scoop. If it is not possible for you to set at least a pair of eights or better in the front hand or a flush in the back hand, it is often correct to give up the hand.
If at least one of your three hands is strong, the risk of being scooped is very low: a high pair in the front hand, trips in the middle hand, or an ace-high flush in the back hand are good indicators that a scoop is unlikely.(來源)
保證至少一墩，有一定的優勢
若玩家整體牌面都很好，如「尾道」有「同花順、鐵支」，其他兩墩的牌亦不差，玩家可放心大膽地按需要分牌，盡量保持三段都有優勢，爭取達成「全壘打」，通殺其他三家，稱為最大贏家！
相反，若牌面不好,，可直接擺特殊牌型，保證自己至少一墩的優勢，再利用「頭道」沖分數。
擺脫刁牌習慣
一般上，每個人都有慣性的刁牌習慣，有自己一套認為正確的擺法、牌組。有部分的例子，某些玩家會運用反向思考，令其他對手不設防，進而扭轉局面。牌面好時，可以儘量思考如何獲得最高的利益。相反的，牌面不好時，反而增加了遊戲的趣味性。除了以至少一墩做防守，也可以運用反向思考，爭取反敗為勝。
BCR娛樂城結論
十三支是一門鬥智鬥勇的遊戲，當一堆高手都聚在一起的時候，其實看到每副牌就都大約知道應該怎麼擺，每個人都產生了一點「慣性」，也認為那是一種合理的擺牌方式，但是BCR小編偷偷告訴你偶而出個怪招，反向思考，搞不好就會有不一樣的結果。
