Texas Hold \'Em Puzzle
to make sure I give proper credit, I found this on Richard Brodie's (Quiet Lion @ FTP) blog today. it was told to him through a friend of a friend named Alex...anyway -
"You're playing a pot with me heads up in Texas Hold 'Em. The turn card has been dealt and you currently have the best hand. However, no matter what card comes on the river, you can't win. What are the two hands and what is on the board?" I've played with it for half an hour or so and the only answer I can come up with can't possibly count. I've listed it below in white...anyone have some hints or ideas? (Sorry if this has been posted before). what if: <font color="white"> you hold A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I hold A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]/T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] The board reads K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] now if the first burn card was the T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] & the second was the T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], you can not win this pot - regardless of what comes off on the river. ps - his site is www.brodietech.com/liontales/blog.htm for those who are interested. it's a fun read.</font>

Re: Texas Hold \'Em Puzzle
Yours is def. a no go. The 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] means you still have the best hand.

Re: Texas Hold \'Em Puzzle
I don't think it's possible to have 44 outs.

Re: Texas Hold \'Em Puzzle
Closest I've gotten is K3 vs. K4 (we have K4) on a 256J board. But we lose to a 4. Everything else is chop or win, if that gets you in a better direction.

[/ QUOTE ] well, from a logic standpoint it's the same as my posted guess...except since you put it at the bottom you eliminate all those pesky undercards that i left out. so yes, it does help for sure - but there's still a piece missing.

So like I had Ks 4c You have Kh 3c Board is 4s 5s 2h Js and let the last 4 be the 4s
