did you knew this poker fact

[yiazmat50112254]

this is the same idea like the Fun Facts/Did You Know? forum, only this one is poker related.

 

for the ones who haven't saw his/her forum, this is how it works:

 

person A says some fact

person B tells if he knew what A told and give a fact after that

etc. etc. etc.

 

explaining things and adding pictures is completely optional.

 

the only must is that you know the fact for sure.

Your fact needs an Asterix.  You're are only talking about Texas Holdem poker.  There are many other ways to play the game, and if you include wild cards (as some versions do), there are even better hands than pocket aces.

 

Did you know that every time you shuffle the deck before you deal, the cards have very likely never been in that exact same order in history, it means that it is very unlikely that two games of poker will ever play out exactly the same.

I did not know.

 

Did you know that Cornbugs (a band featuring Buckethead and actor Bill Moseley who played Choptop in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) made a song called "Poker Face" in 2001?

Nope, haven't even heard one word out of that sentence

 

 

Did you know that the only guaranteed winning combination is a Royal Flush of Spades?

Objection. This is statistically proven to be wrong.

If you start with AA you are more likely to lose big because folding AA or any high pair is way too hard and there is much higher chance your opponents get 2 pairs or one third.

you have a good point there, i shall make it more specific

i'll get your point and it's partially true, the also ofter say you win a small pot or lose a big one.

 

there is one but however, it highly depends on how good you are when making then profitable:

*the first thing you need to know is that they are the best hand by far preflop, but you also need to consider it widely varies on the flop and beyond because after it's "just" one pair

* if you play them preflop you should try to get the pot as big as possible but also narrow your opponents to 1 or 2, this way you keep the big advantage of winning them, if you slowplay aces preflop you may get a big pot post flop and have the best chance winning it, but most of the time you invest too much in it and another player gets all your money, so controlled aggression is best (as it always is but especcialy with aces)

* if you're short stacked it's an even better hand because you can shove and be likely to get called by 1 player who thinks you just shove because you're short stacked.

* if you go postflop, the worst hand you can get is an overpair, which is a good hand of course, but many people overrestimate it and be very willing to call someone who has gone all-in, so the ability to keep alert for raises and reraises (which could possibly mean 2 pair or better) is very important

* if there is a drawing board you should be even more careful playinig them because they could have a straight or flush, so if there are 3 diamonds on the flop and get raised and reraised, then don't walk away, RUN!

*in short they are the best hand by far, but play them strong (but not so strong everyone folds) preflop and keep strong but careful post flop.

 

 

 

as for the question, if you refer to a lesser known poker game, then i did'nt know.

if you refer to hold'em then it's actually not true. the suit does not matter, a royal flush of spades is even strong as one of hearts. and they are all unbeatable.

second thing is that they don't always win, they do if you got a part of the royal, if the full royal flush is on the board you get a sure split.

third, an unbeatable hand (the nuts) can be got according to how the board is for example   2 7 J A 9 rainbow will have the nuts when you got 8 10 for the straight so here the straight is unbeatable

 

 

 

now mine: did you know the weakest river nuts possible in hold'em is three of a kind queens.

you get a hand like this on a board like for example 2 3 7 8 Q rainbow with pocket queens.
