Situation 1 |
Situation 2 |
SOLUTIONS
The pot goes to Bea.
At the flop Diego had the best hand with a 5-high straight; his hand was the best at the turn as well, but at the river a third heart came and so Bea got her flush and won the pot.
NUTS
| Best hand | straight flush (with 5 and 4 of hearts) |
| 2nd best hand | four of a kind (with 3-3) |
| 3rd best hand | 7s full of 3s (with 7-7) |
| 4th best hand | 6s full of 3s (with 6-6) |
| 5th best hand | 3s full of 7s (with 7-3) |
| 6th best hand | 3s full of 6s (with 6-3) |
| 7th best hand | 3s full of 2s (with 3-2) |
| 8th best hand | 2s full of 3s (with 2-2) |
| 9th best hand | A-high flush (with Ace of hearts) |
| 10th best hand | K-high flush (with K of hearts) |
STRATEGY
Situation 1
The situation is dangerous. If nothing came, you probably lose against a higher pair; if you make three 7s, but a J or a 6 could give a straight to an opponent; the only real good card for you is a 6. So you’d better fold quickly.
Situation 2
Compared to the previous hand, the situation has stronlgy improved. Any 9 or 4 gives you a straight that makes you win almost surely (only an improbable 9-7 beats you); the more dangerous card is indeed a 7, that gives you three of a kind against a possible straight.
