ok, this might be boring but it took me a minute to figure out when i was told about it at the table, so i'm sharing it here. i'm sure somebody'll get it right pretty quickly.

hero holds KK, flop is KQQ. hero loses, but villain does not have a Q, does not hold a pocket pair, nor does he make a straight flush. what is villain's winning hand?

Re: brainteaser
 

AQQQQ

Re: brainteaser
 

Axo, runner quads

Re: brainteaser
 

A high, turn Q river Q

Re: brainteaser
 

Villain has a "Rules of Texas Hold Them" and a receipt for a box of tampons.

Re: brainteaser
 

Or Ax, turn A river A works too.

Re: brainteaser
 

Ax running Aces

Re: brainteaser
 

Running frists?

Re: brainteaser
 

AK - running aces.

Re: brainteaser
 

villain holds 32o.

hero c/c flop because he's WA/WB.

turn brings an 8. hero checks, villain fires 1/3 pot. hero suspects he's being set up for a trap and reluctantly calls, hoping to hit the 4th king.

river brings a T, no help. hero checks, villain pushes AI. hero tanks for about 45 seconds, realizes villain will never 3-barrel on this board because his stats are 10/5/0.25 over 20 hands, and folds.

fold..the most profitable play in poker

Villian has two queens for quads

Re: brainteaser
 

Villain bets, Hero folds, Villain shows 4c9d. I got it for sure.

Alternatively, Villain has two more kings, and hero gets kicked out for rigging the deck.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to think long and hard about this one....

Re: brainteaser
 

My guess is holds JQ because it says it holds a q wich could also be AQ

Interesting theory, but my gut tells me you're not quite on the right track.

Re: brainteaser
 

Alright, I've been doing some brainstorming...

Maybe villain has 67 and hits running 6s?

No wait, that doesn't work... dammit. Back to the drawing board.

Re: brainteaser

Do you really think so? I mean, that almost seems too obvious to be right.

Re: brainteaser
 

AA, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 1010, JJ.

Hmm, I considered these possibilities, but something about the OP made me think that these might not be the answer.

I thought the OP said villain definitely had a Q. Don't feel like scrolling up tho.

Re: brainteaser

Villian can have any A and the board will come running Q's. Making the board QQQQK, A high kicker is the nuts. Ship it.
