Title: Holdem Teaser Post by: thetank on December 11, 2005, 09:16:29 PM A question for you tiddlypeeps out there.
Ten handed Texas hold'em Iver is dealt As Ad and Tula is dealt Ac Ah . The other eight hands are all drawing completely dead before the flop. No chance of even a split. What could these eight hands be? WARNING - do not scroll down if you fancy having a bosch at this yourself. Bongo got the right answer straight away. Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: Bongo on December 11, 2005, 09:23:39 PM As Ac

Posted this on another forum, mainly populated by Americans, a couple of years ago. It took them about 12 hours as I recall. At 7 minutes Bongo has just pipped them. Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: sharpy on December 11, 2005, 10:00:40 PM they would be....10,10 10,10 9,9 9,9 6,6 6,6 5,5 5,5 these hands cancel out all straights Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: thetank on December 11, 2005, 10:02:31 PM Well done too
Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: sharpy on December 11, 2005, 10:15:13 PM thanks, whilst still thinking about this
you could also replace the pocket 6's with pocket 4's Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: thetank on December 11, 2005, 10:22:38 PM or the 9's with J's. There are various ways.
If I ever try this again i'll rephrase the question to make it a littlemore difficult. I'll include a clause that none of the hands are pocket pairs. Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: Scottish Dave on December 12, 2005, 01:35:42 AM Hand 1 - Tc Td
Hand 2 - Th Ts Hand 3 - 9c 9d Hand 4 - 9h 9s hand 5 - 5c 5d Hand 6 - 5h 5s Hand 7 - 4h 4s hand 8 - 4c 4d Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: Newmanseye on December 12, 2005, 08:00:34 AM OK the answer was pretty much a no brainer, But what are the Odds of it actually happening???
Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: thetank on December 12, 2005, 10:08:42 AM I'll put up a harder one this afternoon.
Title: Re: Holdem Teaser Post by: Highstack on December 12, 2005, 10:30:17 AM Disappointed! I thought that someone had an answer to the newmanseye question and I was all ready to dispute it ;)
