Default Re: 7-A Five Card Draw

[ QUOTE ]

Flush draws
-----------

The big difference is that most of the time, ordinary flush
draws are unplayable. Only 5 out of 31 unseen cards will
complete your hand. What makes matters worse is that even
if you do make your flush, there is even more jeopardy that
your hand after the draw isn't even the best, unlike regular
draw!

I went to the CelebPoker website to read up on the rules for 7-A Draw and they only said <font color="red"> The winner of the hand is the player who holds the highest hand according to universal poker hand rankings. </font>

Apparently flushes do not beat full houses or quads although they should when you work out the combinatorics of the stripped deck game. This makes flushes very unattractive to draw at in this game. If flushes were properly ranked, you could at least feel confident you had the best hand if you hit your 4-outer/5-outer (depending on whether you are playing with the sixes in or out of the deck).

Nice post. I'm tempted to download a Boss Network skin just to try out this game.
