Poker Trivia!!!

[eejit101]

2 questions, no prizes, just for fun.


Q1 - in a HU NLHE game, you go all in preflop and are called. What is the BEST possible position you can be in with your hand vs his hand (as in what do you hold and what does he hold to give u the best possible odds)?


Q2 - HU NLHE SnG. You are ahead after the turn (4th street). However, as soon as the river comes you will only be splitting the pot at best, no matter what card is to fall. I want to know what you hold, what he holds, and the board. (there is only 1 answer)?

Q1 = AA (You) vs 23o (Opponent)

Q2 = no idea lol

[Ando05]

1. AA you, and A6 other.

[Ando05]

2 is kinda a hard one, thinkin about it

[Talking Poker]

1. AA vs. A6 with the 6 being the same suit as one of your Aces? I'm trying to think if that's any different that 77 vs. 72 with the 2 being the same same as one of your 7s (or any number of other similar combinations), but I can't... so I'll stick with my original guess.

2. I don't understand the question. Has the river card come or not? Please rewrite that completely.

[Ando05]

ya but 77 vs 72 does not put in the best position since if the board comes KKKQQ u guys both split, so AA vs a6 is def the best position there

[Talking Poker]

Correct.

For the other question, eejit, are you trying to ask this (I'll rewrite it for you a little more clearly)?

"Describe a situation where the hand that is currently winning on the turn can NEVER win the pot after the river card is dealt."

If so, here is your answer:

54 vs 62
Board: A337

6 high is ahead, but can't win. The 54 has 19 outs to win (all spades (flushes) plus remaining 4s and 5s (pairs), and 6s and 2s (straights)) and everything else results in a chop.

Yes?

[eejit101]

noone has got 1 right yet.

And TP your answer for 2 seems correct, however, i was told of only 1 answer being possible, and it isnt yours, so im looking for flaws, the answer i was given is...

Me 7 2
opp 65

Board 3344

[melioris]

didn't badblood win his hat on this question?

[eejit101]

ok, ive checked it, theres 2 answers for #2, damn the ppl who said there was 1.

Question 1 is still nowhere near answered.

THE BEST odds u can have going all in preflop vs his hand, imagine you could pick the cards out of the deck....what would u give you and him, answer is interesting i think, but very easy if u think about it.

[Talking Poker]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

He states the river card is of no importance, so by the turncard; you know you will be splitting the pot. So basically give him :

[Kurn]

1. KK vs K2o
2. No idea

[Ando05]

KK vs K2, the percentage of winning that hand is 94.16, but AA vs A6 the percentage is 93.37, both of the lower kickers of couse sharing a suit with the pocket cards, dammit how did i miss that

this is thanks to the talking poker odds calculator

[Talking Poker]

Well, I didn't use the calculator, but I'm not sure this makes sense to me.

My brain still thinks AA vs A6 should be better than KK vs K2. Someone splain me what I'm missing here.

Oh, duh - it's because, while extremely unlikely, the Ace can still make two different kinds of straights. The King can only make 1. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

[eejit101]

yip!

[Ando05]

yea i realized that after i noticed the KK vs K2 bein the best position
