Texas Holdem Wins
Posted By admin On 15/04/22General concepts to keep in mind:
- Some hands don’t have a possible tie breaker scenario in Texas Hold’em Poker. Which may be different in other forms of Poker.
| HAND:Royal Flush |
| TIE BREAK POSSIBILITIES: Not Possible |
| RULES: – A tie break is not possible as two players cannot have a Royal Flush in Texas Hold’em Poker. – If the dealer deals a Royal Flush via the 5 community cards, then the pot is split amongst all players. |
| HAND: Straight Flush |
| TIE BREAK POSSIBILITIES: Not Possible |
| RULES: – A tie break is not possible as two players cannot have a Straight Flush which is ranked the same in Texas Hold’em Poker. – If the dealer deals a Straight Flush via the 5 community cards, then the pot is split amongst all players provided no player holds a Royal Flush (meaning the Straight Flush is the strongest hand on the table). – If two Players have a Straight Flush, then the higher Straight Flush wins (the Straight Flush ending in the highest ranked card). |
- Texas poker is a fast and lively game with Holdem being one of the most popular types of poker played today. Each player starts receives two hole-cards which are dealt face down. After that, each player receives additional cards that are dealt face up.
- Take, for example, the poker percentages of AK, one of the few extremely powerful hands in Texas Hold’em. Technically, it wins less than a middle pocket pair like 7-7. Aside from all-in heads-up tournament situations A-K is a much stronger hand in real-life scenarios because real-life hands aren’t random hands staying in to showdown.
| HAND: Four of a Kind |
| TIE BREAK POSSIBILITIES: 1 Kicker |
| RULES: – A tie is not possible as two players cannot have a matching Four of a Kind except in the case where a dealer deals Four of a Kind via community cards. – If this happens, then the Kicker comes into place, whichever player holds the highest ranked card when looking at their hole cards wins. – If the 5th community card the “Kicker on the board”is higher than any of the players hole cards, then the pot is split. |
| HAND: Full House |
| POSSIBLE TIE BREAKERS: Not Possible |
| RULES: – If two players have the same Full House, the pot is split always. – The strength of the Full House is determined by the 3 matching cards first, followed by the 2 matching cards (pair). Example of Full House K-K-K-A-A beats K-K-K-9-9 and so fourth. A-A-A-K-K beats K-K-K-A-A. – A Kicker is not used to determine a winner for and identical Full House in Texas Hold’em Poker, therefore the pot is split. |
The player who has the best hand and has not folded by the end of all betting rounds wins all of the money bet for the hand, known as the pot. Texas hold 'em is the H game featured in HORSE and in HOSE.
| HAND:Flush |
| POSSIBLE TIE BREAKERS: 2 Kickers |
| RULES: – It’s not possible for two or more players to have the same Flush in Texas Hold’em Poker. – If two players have a Flush, the highest Flush wins (the Flush with the highest Ranked Card taking into account the players Hole Cards and Community Cards). If the dealer deals a Flush via Community Cards and it’s the highest Flush when taking into account all Players Hole Cards, the pot is split amongst all players in the hand. – Highest Flush is determined by the players cards combined with the board cards taking into account the highest combination of the two. – For example the board shows a Flush of Ah-Jh-8h-7h-6h. Player A has a Kh and 2h. Player B has a 10h and 9h. Player A wins because we supplement their Kh to complete the hand making his flush the highest. |
| HAND: Straight |
| POSSIBLE TIE BREAKERS: 2 Kickers |
| RULES: – In the event that two players or more have the same Straight via community cards the pot is split. – If two or more players make a Straight using their hole cards and community cards, then the highest Straight wins. The Straight ending in the highest ranked card. – In any case where a Straight ends in the highest ranked cards among all players regardless of suit, the pot is split. |
| HAND: Three of a Kind |
| POSSIBLE TIE BREAKERS: 2 Kickers |
| RULES: – If two or more players have the same Three of a Kind (suit does not matter in this hand) Then the fourth highest card (one of the players Hole Cards or a community card, whichever is higher ranked) is used to determine the winner. – If there is a tie between the fourth strongest card (highest ranked card) then the fifth card is used. – If there is a time between the fifth card, the pot is split (this would be extremely rare). |
