Tons of ways cause other players could have crap...which is not unusual but..

Set 3's
FH 9's over 3's
FH 3's over 9's

bohsman

a poker of 3s a poker of 9s, 9s full

cardshark202

There's actually only one way, and thats to have a board containing 3 9's cos there's no other boards that guarantee you the nuts.

RoundTower

I think the board has to come 999 or 993

cardshark202

How can you hit quad 3's when you're holding 3 of them?

There's only the one board of 999xx will guarantee you the Nuts.

The next closest as far as I can see would be 9932x in that case only a pair of x will beat you.
EDIT or 9x obviously!!

Give the man a prize forgot the 999 board...doh!

For a hand to be the nuts you need to at least see the flop so 999 is it.


The problem is that there is too much room for interpretation in the question.

Thats what happens when I reply to a question when Ive only been awake for 10 minutes.

A board of 32222 a board of 999xx... 993 is no good cos turn or river has to change the nuts

correctemundo although it is never stone cold until the river. And also after the turn and river you wont have the nuts unless:

Board 999 the turn and river must not pair 10's or higher and must not be connected suited cards to give a possible straight flush.
Board 993 here you only have the nuts at the end if either the turn or river is a 9. Any other combination will result in a possible higher house or quads or straight flush.

Ste05

Ah yes forgot about the auld 32222 - nice recovery bohsman.
So is there a third board we haven't thought of yet??

993xx will never be the nuts

EDIT - Misread the post

You can "have the nuts" on the flop, the question didn't specify you had to have the nuts on the river. 32222 is the third one though.

Hagar

Salted, Dry Roasted or Shelled.

That I believe is the only real answer with that hand.

what's the second one then??

Have I missed one??

999xx, 32222, and ??

I'm starting to think Hagar is right!!:D

careca

the only one so far that is guaranteed to be the nuts is oscars 32222.
so surley all the other combinations stand also.

34444
35555
36666
....
3AAAA

Or am I really missing something ????????????????

Sorry think I totally misread the question, lol

Ste05

I thought that too at first, but then AA is the nuts, final hands will be 666AA against you're smaller house of 33366,

cardshark202

There are only 2 boards: 22223 and 999xy where x is not paired with y.

careca

its a badly worded question.

There are numerous hands where your hand could be the nuts after the river. However after the flop there are only two possible hands that could be the nuts.

999 (which could change after the river)
993 (which could change after the turn and river).


32222 is not the nuts on the flop or the turn, only becomes so on the river.

Errmm am i missing something???

What about a straight flush?

its no possible to make a straight flush with 3339 in OMAHA.

The Troll
