I'm still in shock that 83o is ahead of JJ...

And T6h is rockin'...

I think our organizer has gone to bed.

So maybe I don't know odds that well but how is queen 5 off suit ahead of K J

Because the only way JJ can improve is if a set hits the board since all the J's are dead now. Q5 still has three Q's that can see the board, any one of which would make Q5 top JJ. Could potentially make a set of 5's as well.

EDIT: Oops, you said KJ, not JJ. My bad! The others below me already made the points I would have made, although the answer is still generally the same - the Q5 has stronger draw potential than KJ.

 

[Mental Nomad]

KJ and Q5 are both behind to JJ and must improve, so they're equal losers, for now.

There are no Js left, and one wouldn't improve KJ over JJ anyway. There's a king out already. Even If he gets a king, others have draws...like the other king has a live 7.

Q5's cards are both live, and QQ beats JJ as easily as KK.

 

[BGinGA]

Q5 also has stronger potential for two pair (than KJ), along with stronger chances for the diamond flush.

COME ON RUNNING SPADES!

 

[k9dr]

Yes, why do the Jacks have a V, the queens a D, and the kings an R ??

drawing dead to the straight

 

[k9dr]

Aaaaah France not 'merica

 

[Mental Nomad]

Love the cards. Instantly gave me childhood memories of aunts and uncles playing bridge. Polish would be Walet (pronounced like Valet), Dama, Król.

 

[Don Clay]

ok, before I open the turn, any comment Psycher1000 ?

 

[Mental Nomad]

Also, given my crappy starting cards, 83, I'm surprised I'm still drawing live to a better straight or full house!

 

[Don Clay]

TURN :

 

[Mental Nomad]

Seven seven seven!

Sept sept sept!

Come on!

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Ready ?

 

[Don Clay]

RIVER :





Split (sits 3 and 5)

[Mr. Cheese]

Thanks for the fun game

Indeed, I must be tired,I hadn't seen your 7c !

 

[chipjoker]

WHAT? JJ didnt win....
sorry had to say it., I want in on this next time...I am sorry I missed this.

 

[Psypher1000]

Sorry, at work and seeing this late.

My comment after the flop would have been the same - "We're playing Razz, right?"

Because if so, my hand was the nuts!!!

 

[Psypher1000]

Oh, and of course, congrats to the winner, and thanks for running the contest! Good times, even if I did lose on the river

 

[cyril]

strange hand, strange dealer

 

[atomiktoaster]

Take that, worst pre-flop odds! Crazy hand. The lesson we all learned is to never fold, even when you think you're drawing dead. What exactly did I win, Empress $100?
