BEST HAND
Not sure if anyone would do this in their local game.In my local,I was told -
"YOU MUST USE YOUR 2 HOLE CARDS" My cards are A 10 The board was A A 3 A K Going by rule,i think that means only 3 cards on board can be used. Obviously I stated that my hand was A A A A with 10 kicker and that 4th card (K) on board doesn't come into play. I stated an identical example where 4th card on board improves hand. If player has 4d 5d and board is 6d 7d 8d 9d and Ks.Should player not have straight flush to 8 for purposes of best hand.I was told that this would win best hand where mine didn't and that you cant make quads with 1 card in your hand. Should I have won best hand? |

So you're saying you can only get quads when you have pocket pair in your hand. Also,should it not be like Omaha except you use your 2 cards. |

You only have to use 2 hole cards in Omaha not Holdem. You don't have to use either of your cards in holdem if you and up playing the board. What if a royal flush came on the board, do you just ignore that and use your hole cards to make a hand?
And yes you should have won best hand. |

If the rules state that you must use both cards to claim the best hand jackpot, then strictly interpreting them your hand failed because the best hand you can make out of the 7 available is AAAAK, which only uses 1 of your hole cards. Bit harsh though, to be fair.

So,if player has 4d 5d and board is 6d 7d 8d 9d and Ks then even though they have straight flush with both your hole cards they have not got best hand.I think they 4th and 5th cards shouldn't come into play though they may make better hands than 1 u have when you must use both your hole cards.

If 4th card was 10 or lower,would I get best hand?when you must use both your hole cards then that means you can only use 3 cards on the board.

all players paid €2 into best hand and is separate prize.best hand that ended up winning was house.the rule is you have to use both your hole cards and you can only use 3 on board for best hand prize.this rule eliminates things like houses where board might be AAAKK and player plays board.

You should have won the pot for that hand with quads but not the "best hand" prize with the €2 entry because you're only using one card for quads. |
