In your hand ranking, 10 High card would actually be a 3 of a kind or 2 or a kind. You can't have 2 as a kicker without having two other smaller cards, unless you have 2 aces, which would be a 2 of a kind but you wouldn't count them as 1's

Good video. However, I think you missed a really good opportunity during the 1st round of betting. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. When you had the SB player fold and the BB player stay in and CALL, (s)he only had to add 2 ($2) more even though a 4 chip ($4) bet had been made, because (s)he had already supplied the big blind with 2 chips ($2). If the SB player had decided to stay in and CALL, (s)he would have had to put in 3 ($3) to stay in to match the 4 chip ($4) bet that had been made. This is only true on the first round of betting.

@patricecarriere 5 жыл бұрын

Nice video. The only thing I noticed was that during your example at 19:08 comparing two full houses was technically correct but inaccurate. You mentioned that a player with three 10s and two 9s would beat a player with three 10s and two 8s. Of course, that example is impossible as there are not six 10s in the game. But, would three Js and two 7s beat three 10s and two 9s?

@MalfoyR 5 жыл бұрын

Assume a board of TT987. it's possible for player 1 to have T9 and player 2 to have T8. So a full house tens over 9s would beat tens over 8s.

@Kevin-ib4gv 4 жыл бұрын

No, he's correct in two people having 3 tens....players share the 5 cards on the board...so player #1 has one ten, player #2 has one ten, and the board has two tens showing. Since the board cards are shared, both players have 3 tens.

Hi, just want to make a clarification. At 4:20, you mentioned that in a limit game of 2-4, the big blind is a 2 and the small blind is a 1. Shouldn't the big blind be a 4 and the small blind be a 2?

@captainadams7569 4 жыл бұрын

I noticed that also. I think the reason for the 2, and 1 is it supposed to be half of the minimum bet.

@faizfan 4 жыл бұрын

@@captainadams7569 I don't think half the minimum bet would work. If that were to be the case, that would defeat the purpose of being called a limit game of 2-4. But still, it may be a possibility.
