Most fucked up poker rule ???
 

goes to three of a kind...

i was watching something on tv...and this is what it looked like

Player 1: 10 A offsuit
Player 2: 10 4 hearts

Cards: 10 3 Q 10 8 with no flush possible

Player 2 goes all in, player 1 calls, both have three of a kind, but the Ace kicker gets it

daymm thats fucked, and it was a 2500$ pot :Oh crap

it should be split -- no?

top five cards wins

yeah i know, but still...its three of a kind..should be split imo

Hold em?

Why would it be split? Its the best 5 cards. The 3 10's cancel out, Player 1 has an A, Player 2 has a Q. Its really a simple concept but a lot of people have a difficult time understanding it.

Now if Player 1 had a 7 instead of the A, then yes it would be split.

Hows that fucked up? Ace is higher.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I sure would be pissed if i won and they asked me to split the money with the loser.. :)

Not fucked up at all. :2 cents:

If player 1 would have had anything less then an 8, the Q, 8 would have been the high cards, thus for splitting the pot

Makes perfect sense to me. Like everyone has said, it's the best 5 cards.

I'm beginning to see why you lose all the time.

and that's way more fucked :2 cents:

Its only a fucked up to the person that loses

no it is not fucked up, it is best 5 cards,

that is what you get for calling with crap hands, the any 5 card rule should make you think twice about what cards you play with.

that is why hold em takes alot of skill anyone could be like "o i have 3 of a kind i am set" but it takes a pro to realise when you are beaten even with what seems the best hand. :2 cents: :2 cents:

it sure is :(

Again, why?

Seriously, if you don't understand what the best 5 cards means, for your own protection its a good idea to stay away from poker.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:helpme

You fucking moron, no wonder you lose so much at poker.

Kickers are a huge part of the game and strategy. "should be split pot" :1orglaugh

yeah i know, kickers sometimes come in handy...

Seriously, I could understand if madawgz had talked about a split pot like
that you mentioned, Yes, it's five cards but it could as well have
been six and made the game even more skillfull, just my two
cents though.

Forget that, make it four cents :2 cents: :2 cents:

:)

i was gonna say when you lose they take your money ;)

whats that supposed to mean?

Then low ball should really fuck you up.

What are you smoking? Not fucked up at all...

There's NO way I'd have gone all in with a 4 kicker. I'd place a minimal bet at best, and hope the other guy doesn't raise big. :2 cents:

if you end up making the rules all nice where everything is split there is no point in playing :2 cents:

never heard of this game

The kicker always scares me off from a big bet if I got a small one

TTTAQ > TTTQ8

You play poker for that much cash and don't even know a basic rule such as this. hahaha what a joke.

Skip poker and start playing cribbage

If it was only a four card game, i'd be rich!!

...:thumbsup

kikkkkkkkkk

its the same with a pair, or even 2 pair......

the most fucked up poker rule in my eyes is the All in rule, but i wont go into that.

hehe alright...

are you saying kickers shouldn't have a play in holdem? That's absurd

this thread made you look pretty fucking retarded :/

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

No poker for you dude, never again....

That rule is in place to keep morons like you from calling blinds with 10-4.
Im glad you lost your money, (unless you were big blind and there was no raise).

Hey Madawgz,

Any chance for a game of poker sometime.

Baby needs new shoes:pimp

Any rule that works against me sucks.

Man...no wonder you got your ass kicked at poker :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Thats a major strategic part of the game :1orglaugh

:helpme :helpme :helpme

Any rule that works against me sucks.

Split pots sucks... If it was you having that ACE, you'd love that rule! lol

The only rule that ever fucks with me is the two-pair rule.

ME: 7-6 Hearts
Opponent: Ace-8 offsuit

Flop comes: 2-7-6 Then A-2 on the river and turn
So Board: Reads 2-7-6-A-2

Now i had the monster hand of two pair throughought the round, but on the river the bard pairs and favors my opponent.

Oh well :) I usually dont lose in poker that much.

Scary with all the poker that you've played you didn't understand that the high kicker takes it. Makes me wonder what else you aren't familiar with regarding poker.

best answer here.

no fucking way should that pot be split. ace wins. poker isn't communism

wow man... i SUCK at poker, and i knew that...

I can already see next weeks thread:

Since when does a pair of twos beat Ace-High. I mean comon, Ace > 2
