5 Card Trivia Discussion & Suggestions

[NDN]

if u limit everyone to 5 cards, its possible that the best hand wont be a full 5 card hand... I dont like that part of it, but I will stil play, but if I have AAKK2, I shouldnt lost to 222 or 567, that dont seem right... unless u just change it to best 3 card poker hand w a 5 card per member limit

If you had AAKK2, you'd still lose to 222 or 22249, it wouldn't make a difference.

It's the exact same system we used for the last round. Someone with 222 could have beat someone with AAKKQQJ9876432.

This is always going to be ranked on a 5 card poker hand (not 3-card poker where 567 is a straight or three of a suit is a flush).

oh ok... so pretty much the only way someone w 3 or 4 cards will win is if they have trips, which isnt likely but could happen...

Im just saying it was diff. last time cuz u didnt have a limit of 5 cards so, AAA wouldnt beat u, cuz u were very likely to have a straight or flsuh if u had like 10 cards...

thats where I was coming from...

now if u have 5 cards and have KKKQ9 and someone has AAA, u will have to take ur chances of returning a card to the deck, which u prob. would anyways to get a boat or quads for the Jackpot hand

I get it

If u can make the high hand before the river comes out, u win and dont have to draw the river? cuz ya, I get what eejit is saying, only 8 people played last game, u would need 10 to even get to the river w a 5 card limit imposed.

I wouldn't worry too much about not having enough people. I'm certain we'll have enough participants.

Maybe we should flip this around so the 2-card hand is used to compete against others for that portion of the contest and the 5-card hand is used for the high hand.

I think that makes more sense...

or u could just draw the river after question 50 and end the game

I think I am going to flip it around.

Doh. If I flip it, we'll probably end up with a lot of chopped pots won't we...
