    If the board is 5678sx and you have the 9?

    a) suits aren't mentioned and more importantly b) here you only have a pair of 3's (if unsuited) or a 9 high flush if you have 2 of the suits??

    Board 1: 22223
    Board 2: 999xy where x is not paired with y and x is not higher than a 9 AND the x and y are not suited and connected with one of the 9's
    Board 3: TJQKA of same suit has the 9 if the 9 is suited with one of the 3's
    :D:D:D

    If any of the above happened and 3339 hit the nuts against me I'd punch the dealer.

    just checked back, wow 41 replies, well done to cardshark on getting the answer correct.........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭RoundTower


    Reading all the answers here makes me appreciate why I can never get a decent answer if I post an Omaha hand.

    It also tells me I am going to play an awful lot of online Omaha from now on.

    You are wrong on all three counts. Sorry. ;)

    You only have the nuts if you can beat any possible hand that your opponent could have.

    Board 1: If your opponent has an Ace as a hole card he has a poker of 2’s with an Ace kicker against your poker of 2’s with a 9 kicker you lose. Hardly the nuts.

    Board 2: If your opponent has a pair of suited connectors which form a straight flush with x,y and one of the 3 9’s you lose. Remote but you must admit it is a non-zero possibility so once again you do not have the nuts.

    Board 3: There is a Royal Flush flopped as community cards. You 9 is irrelevant as it is a sixth card. Technically you do not have the beating of anyone else so one again you do not have the nuts.

    The original scenario won’t even guarantee you the nuts in a heads-up situation.

    May I refer you back to my first post.

    The only nuts you will see with this hand are Salted, Dry Roasted or Shelled.:D

    You have to use 2 from your hand, you can't just play the board in Omaha. So with a suited 9-3 he has a nine high flush which is the nuts on a royal flush board.

    At this stage it will be a multi table game. This is the best post ever. There must be at least 10 of us who have made complete tits of ourselves.

    I think it should be deleted by a mod, in order to give us some credibility back :)
