Da Lao Er, which literally means "big old two" in Mandarin Chinese, is the popular Chuo Dai Di variation in Taiwan. Incidentally, "Lao Er" is slang for penis.

The biggest variation of Da Lao Er from Chuo Dai Di is in the use of five card combinations.

A flush is a legal hand in Chuo Dai Di, whereas in Da Lao Er, a flush is not a valid hand.

In Chuo Dai Di, as well as in poker, a full house beats a straight. But in Da Lao Er, full houses cannot be used to beat a straight.

Another variation of Da Lao Er from Chuo Dai Di is the game play. In Chuo Dai Di each player gets a turn in playing a hand, one after another. In Da Lao Er, any player can make a play using a four of a kind or a straight hand to beat any player even if it's not yet his turn.

Scoring in Da Lao Er is also different from Chuo Dai Di. Each remaining card in Da Lao Er is scored one point (if a player has 10 cards or less) or two points (if the player has 11 or more).

In Chuo Dai Di, if a player has nine cards or less, each of the cards is counted as two points. If a player is left with anywhere from 10 - 13 cards, three points per card is counted.
