HMMM - someone asked me this and i can't work it out

you are winning on the turn but by the river the best position you can be in is a split pot.

A. What do you have,
B. your opponent,
C. board?

i was trying to do it with a pair and another pair on the board that turns into a set or quads, couldnt crack it though. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[laeelin]

you have As Kd

Flop: Qs Js Tc
Turn: Ah
River: Kc

Flop the nuts, but by the river the best you can have is a split pot.

[killerbe123]

i thought that was good - asked my mate and apparantly he is thinking of one situation. Has given me more info though.

greg says:
nope
greg says:
sorry
greg says:
its holdem,. hds up
greg says:
u winning on the turn but drawing dead to a split on the river.
in other words best u can do is split , other result is lose

[daryn]

laeelin's answer is no good of course because you could still win the pot outright on the turn if your opponent has 22 and the river comes anything but K.

[zeppo]

must be lots of ways it can happen

How about

You have 44
Opponent has 89

Flop is KKK - you are winning

Turn is another K - you are losing

You need an over card to opponents hand to split

[killerbe123]

but you are winning on the turn losing/split pot on the river

[daryn]

zeppo,

that doesn't work because the 89 is ahead on the turn and can win the pot outright if say a 6 comes on the river.

You have: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain has K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (You lose)
Villain has ATC (Except K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]): (You split)

Flop is 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Turn is J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
River is Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

You're way ahead on flop/turn
By river the best you can hope for is a split.

Another easy one:

You have K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain has: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]: (You lose)
Villain has: ATC (But no Ace): (You split)

Flop is K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Turn is J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
River is J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

You're way ahead on Flop/Turn. He has 3 only outs to beat you (case Jack, two remaining aces).
By river, the best you can get is a split.

[killerbe123]

u - jj - opp - 99

turn - qqqq (you are winning with high card)

river - k (best you can do is draw or you are losing)
