Hello,
I’m currently wondering while writing this. Last night while we were playing, an unusual, bothering situation came up.
Well, at some point, three players were left in, eventually, the hole cards were dealt and one player have folded. The other player was dealt 10 & 6 and I was dealt 9 & 7. Then the flop came and was 7, 8, 9.
After which, player two went all-in with a straight and as my natural reaction, I called him up. Well, we have almost the same amount of chips, but not until after I called. Eventually, player 2 felt he had won.
But afterwards, the dealer dealt the turn which was a 7. Luckily, I won with a full house. However, not everyone agreed, so we started to resolve the issue.
In the end, it’s player 2 who won the game that night. It was so nice of player 2 that he even offered splitting the total winnings until such time we have already cleared the issue. But of course, I believe it was not fair, so I just let him take the winnings.
Anything to say? A comment about what happened perhaps?
Thanks!
Rafael
Rafael,
You won the hand. Your opponent held a straight and you had a full house. A full house outranks everything but quads, a straight flush, and a royal flush. In Holdem you make your best five card hand out of the two cards in your hand and the five on the board. The hand was not over on the flop. There were still two cards to come and you turned a full house. Your friend owes you money.
