Cadam11 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was looking through websites and decided to look up "Quiet Lion's" website and he had a poker question on the site that his friend asked him. First off I dont know the answer. I havent given it much thought. Sorry if this has been posted.You're playing a pot with me heads up in Texas Hold 'Em. The turn card has been dealt and you currently have the best hand. However, no matter what card comes on the river, you can't win. What are the two hands and what is on the board?

They have the same pair. For instance both have pocket 5'sThe board is A K 6 2 with 3 Diamonds. Quiet Lion has the Diamond. The person playing him currently has the best hand(a tie) but can not win outright.Just a semantic trick, I think. Link to post Share on other sites

You are tied here which means you aren't ahead... I wish this could be the answer so I stop thinking about it though Link to post Share on other sites
yergan 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 There was a thread about this in offtopic a few weeks ago but I cant remember the answer. Had something to do with being a split pot on river no matter what.Ill try and find the answer. If the board reads KKQQ and you have 23 and I have 22, you currently have the best hand, but no matter what comes on the river, the best you can do is tie me with 2 pair and x kicker, but I can win with the case duece.Thread is titled "official brain teaser thread".

FourFlusher 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 He has A-K, you have A-Q. the board is JJJJ. The final hand is JJJJA, the player with the king will not win. Link to post Share on other sites

FourFlusher 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 This is a good bar bet...I can lay out a hand to the turn, you're ahead, and no card lets you win on the river.Bet, give him the deck and let him try. Link to post Share on other sites
