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?

AQQQQ

Axo, runner quads

Re: brainteaser
 

A high, turn Q river Q

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

Or Ax, turn A river A works too.

Re: brainteaser
 

Ax running Aces

Running frists?

Re: brainteaser
 

AK - running aces.

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.
