starting hand point system
i was super bored in class today and decided to devise my own starting hand point system. it's a bit cumbersome and would be hard to actually implement at the table, but i wanted it to give a good idea of what to look for in a hand to complete beginners. so i'd like ya'll's advice on what needs to be changed in this system. what i've overvalued/undervalued.
3 pts - big pair (J-A) 2 pts - medium pair (7-10) 1 pt - small pair (2-6) (+1 additional point for every card that is connected in rank to your pair) 5 pts - two wheel cards (+4 for A2, +3 for A3, +1 for 23) 7 pts - three wheel cards (+4 for A23, +3 for A2X, +2 for A3X) 8 pts - four wheel cards (+4 for A23X, +3 for A245, +2 for A345) 3 pts - 2 broadway cards 5 pts - 3 broadway cards 6 pts - 4 broadway cards (note: for wheel and broadway cards, don't count pairs twice.) 5 pts - suited ace 3 pts - suited king 1 pt - suited jack or queen (for two suited high cards, count the highest one [AKs=5pts]) 1 pt small-medium suited connectors (2-9) 1 pt unsuited medium connectors (6-10) yeah i just realized how overly complicated that is. especialy the wheel cards part. i just tried to make it grade the strength of your hand very fairly. heres a list of possible wheel card combos you could have in your hand and the amount of points you would get so you can see the logical progression i tried to create: 5 pts - two ugly wheel cards 6 pts - 23 7 pts - three ugly wheel cards 8 pts - A3, 2345 9 pts - A2, A3X 10 pts - A2X, A345 11 pts - A23, A245 12 pts - A23X I'm curious if you O8 experts out there would rather play A234ds or A210Jds. with my system as it is now, A234ds is worth 18 pts, while A210Jds is worth 20 pts. AA23ds is worth 26 |
