Hi there, I have just come a little unstuck with an attempt to complete a Texas Holdem computer program. I have decided to back track and redo the main play code. (All of it) I need a little help with some game scenarios that mechanically I need to know about and I feel stuck with.

scenario 1: The players have no cards, but the flop has 1 pair. With only 3 kickers available, and the players whole cards less then the remaining 3 flop cards, how does the play work with the kickers. Does the players whole cards count?.. or can the best players whole cards be used to handle the kicker objective? (or is it a draw ?)

The players have no cards, then they have "whole" cards that are less than the flop "kickers" of which two are paired...

That makes absolutely no sense. I think you need to get a better grasp on poker before you start writing a program about it, or you need to write out an absolute specific scenario:
Hole Cards Player 1: xx
Hole Cards Player 2: xx
Hole Cards Player 3: xx
Flop Cards: As5h5d
etc.

is this one of those "if a tree falls in the woods and no-one is around to hear it does it make a sound?" type of questions?

Players whole cards has less value then the 3 cards remaining in the flop, with a single pair in the flop. (You need to get a grip of intelligence before you make stupid comments half-whit)

Texas Hold'em
Flop Ace Ace 10 9 7 (3)Players Whole cards 2 3 4 5 6 3 Who Wins?

Perhaps it's YOU who need to get a "grip of intelligence" before YOU make stupid posts. Also, it's "half-wit" as in "YOU are a half-wit". Finally, maybe, just maybe, you should try to understand the basics of poker before you decide to write a program about it.

I just bolded the corrections to your post for you, since you're so intelligent that you don't know the difference between spellings of words.

Also, the flop contains 3 cards, whereas in your example, you have 5(A,A,10,9,7). And you some how come up with 6 hole cards, of which there are two in Hold'em. So either you are talking about a made up poker game that is absolutely nothing like Hold'em or you are the half-whit.

Whole cards beat half cards. That much should be clear.

However, if the whole card falls on the ground, and the players are at the bar, can the half card still be heard.....

No wait,.....

If the whole card splits, and no one bets, can the whole card be...

no wait...

if the half card gets in a hole..

no wait...

how many cards could a whole care hole if a whole card could hole card...

no wait.......


uhhhhh.



whole in one is when..


uhhh


wait............


..

He didn't :p

HERE IS A REAL LEGIT ANSWER TO WHAT I THINK THE OP IS TRYING TO ASK

If the board is say AAJT9 and both players in the pot have two cards have two holecards that are less than 9 then the pot is split because both players have the same hand, that being the five cards on the board.

The interesting thing to me is that he doesn't even understand simple principles of Hold'em, yet he is trying to write a program for it. If he's getting a simple thing like this wrong; what ELSE is AFU with his "program"?

I edited out the rest of his stupidity after I banned him but I'll leave this line as a reminder of just how stupid this idiot was.

Well....perhaps I am "looser". I can't really be sure until I know what I'm being compared to. By the way, how, exactly is that program going you "pro" you who don't even know the simple rules of poker? Nice job, bet people a lining-up now to purchase this wonderful piece of software you're creating with your "pro" abilities.

get a grip mike

Sir, may I point out that CONSTRUCTIVE critisisum is what you asked for. Berating fellow members isn`t a wise thing sir and I feel an apology is definatly warrented . Besides that a little fun being poked at you, you haven`t any reason to so venomously attack someone. I have made mistakes in my life and you sir have just made one and should"MAN UP" to it. Good luck in completing your program and may I suggest that you read a few books to complete your project. Also, look at some of the strategy videos offered here . Perhaps they might be of assitance.

As a long-time programmer, I can only imagine the level of this idiot's programming competence. All 3 of his posts exuded such an outrageous amount of stupid that I find it miraculous he was computer literate enough to get on the internet, find this forum, signup, and manage to post 3 times without hurting himself. Much less accomplish any programming.

Oh wait, he's probably using Visual Basic. So yeah he could be a "programmer" I guess... :p

(sorry, have to get my VB barbs in where I can)
