posoo 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Good afternoon FCP users,I hope the day finds you well. Here is a poker puzzle for those of you looking for something to do at work or elsewhere. It is not hard, but interesting to realize that it is possible.In Hold'em:Both players come to a showdown...each player holds the second nuts (there is one and only one hand that can beat the hand they hold). But yet, despite the fact that each holds the second nuts, one wins the pot, the other loses. What are their hands?All the best,Posoo Link to post Share on other sites

There is a perfectly valid way for two second-nut hands to clash with one being superior. Also, to whose who wonder "what the ****" I am talking about, it's really not hard. A second-nut hand loses to another second-nut hand. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

What are their hands?All the best,PosooIf by "coming to a showdown" you mean both players correctly display their cards after river betting has ceased, (ie noone invalidates their hand for a stupid reason) and the dealer views both hands and awards the pot to the higher ranking one, then you are an idiot.$20 says there is no answer to this puzzle, given the above conditions.On a side note, all decks of cards (or most at least) come with a ranking chart for poker hands. Study it. Link to post Share on other sites
posoo 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 they both hold KK, one make s flush.Good idea, but I am talking about the second nuts AFTER the river; not preflop or at any other stage. Link to post Share on other sites

bdams19 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 this is so ridiculously obscure there can be 1000 right answers, so here's mine:Both players throw their cards, face up, onto the table. Except it isn't really a table at all. It's the inside of a volcano, and one player threw his cards into the liquid hot magma. His hand is treated as dead, seat 1, whos cards are floating on some volcanic rock, is awarded the pot. Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The first player with the second nut is on roids.The second player with the second nut is on crack.Seriously What the F U C K are u talking about? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anonymous Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 they both hold KK, one make s flush.KK is not the second nuts with 4 to a flush on the board, and with neither of your kings matching the 4 suited cards on the board. Link to post Share on other sites
posoo 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 A second-nut hand loses to another second-nut hand.Hi. No.You're an idiot.Smash, although you are generally on the mark with your FCP posts, I will be willing to wager you any amount of money that this is eminently possible. When I have revealed the answer, it is YOU (and all the others who are so certain that this is impossible) who will be looking like an idiot.All the best,Posoo Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 8 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 they both hold KK, one make s flush.KK is not the second nuts with 3 to a flush on the board.Yes it is **blank look on face** Link to post Share on other sites

zimmer4141 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think I have a legitimate answer. Let's say the board is KKJJ2. One player has AK, and has the second nuts because he is only beat by JJ. The other player has JJ, and has the second nuts because he is only beaten by KK. I win. Where's my prize?
