Bill

This is a tricky one.

999 flop with the other 2 cards unpaired or lower than a 9 otherwise 999AA you could both have quads

every other option my brain can think of this late I can think of holdings that will beat you, gonna have to put some thought into it ;]

1) 3 and 9 and no other pairs on board

2) 993 and no other pairs higher than 2

3) 999 and no pairs above a 9

all the above assume there is not a straight flush draw on board.

oops my no. 1 isn't right. Damn, neither is my 2.

1. 999XX, with no pairs above 9 or straight flush possibility
2. AKQJ10 suited, with 93 of same suit; this gives you Q high flush
3. does not exist! lol i can't figure out the last answer

1 and 2 correct (though 2 would be Ace high flush)

3 - 993, and 2 other unpaired cards lower than an 8. You'd have full house, 9's over 3's, and no-one else could have higher as there are no cards on board bigger than 9 to make trips.


Edit - no F*@% it - if someone else has got the other 9 and matches other card they'll beat you. 99322's no good cos they could have 22 -oh,i don't know either!

no wheel straight flushes cause you HAVE to use 2 cards in your hand.
1)999 other 2 cards lower than 9
2) AKQJ10 suited, with 93 of same suit; this gives you A high flush
when I finger the rest I will edit
3) Board=32222 Dork got this one b4 I did

[18:02] <Qhr1s0> aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
[18:02] <Qhr1s0> my brain hurts
[18:02] <Qhr1s0> curse that bill bastard!

REJOICE

999xx with no straight flush possibility and no paired overcards to the 9
AKQJTs, with 93 of same suit
32222

[18:16] <Qhr1s0> 32222
[18:17] <Qhr1s0> you have 3s full of 2s
[18:17] <Qhr1s0> opponent can only make 2s full of whatever

That was a tough one! i thought about 32222 but was thinking AAxx would have you beat with 222AA, but didn't realize you had 33322... very good! Are there any other quizes like this? I definately enjoyed that one.

We can do a quiz a day. I started doing out puzzles quite awhile back but all that did was start an arguement about what the "nuts" and an "out" are.

So how can you argue what the nuts are? I thought that was a pretty simple calculation....

phooey, i had my answer written in notepad but havent had the chance to post until now, and it's already been solved. well, at least i got it right.

for a while i thought "why not quad 3s?" until i realized you would need that elusive fifth trey to make it.

very fun quiz, got my brain thinkin.

yeah so did I!
