daftpegasus Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm not feeling well and couldn't sleep so I got up early this morning and decided to play a game of poker. The only STT game where the table was nearly full was 5 Card Draw 7-A. I know the basic rules for 5 Card Draw so decided for a €2 buy in that I'd worry about the rules as I went. At this point I did not know the relevance of 7-A in the game name. Anyway the very first hand I get dealt :Ah:,:As:,:6s:,:6c:,:9d: Thinking that I'm playing with a full deck I believe this to be a great starting hand. I call a pre flop raise only for a third player to put in a big raise. This is then re-raised all in by the original player (also did not realise that it was pot limit at this stage). I'm still confident my 2 pair is a great starting hand (based on full deck) so decide to call. Player 3 also calls. How the hand plays out is irrelevant to this thread but I'll post it here: ***** Hand 1315440859 ***** 15.00/30.00 Five Card Draw 7-A (PL) - 11 November 2008 06:34:29 Five Card Draw 7-A (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: Jorko70 (1500.00) Seat 2: Fresh96 (1500.00) Seat 5: Daft Pegas (1500.00) Seat 3: Jeety (1500.00) Seat 4: MAKEMONEY3 (1500.00) Fresh96 post SB 15.00 Jeety post BB 30.00 ** Deal ** Jorko70 [N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A] Fresh96 [N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A] Daft Pegas [9d, Ah, As, 6s, 6c] Jeety [N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A] MAKEMONEY3 [N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** MAKEMONEY3 Raise to 105.00 Daft Pegas Call 105.00 Jorko70 Raise to 465.00 Fresh96 Fold Jeety Fold MAKEMONEY3 All-in 1500.00 Daft Pegas All-in 1500.00 Jorko70 All-in 1500.00 *** Exchange *** Seat: 5 Daft Pegas [Ac, Ah, As, 6s, 6c] Seat: 4 MAKEMONEY3 [N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A] Jorko70 Standpat Fresh96 Standpat Daft Pegas Exchanged cards: 1 Jeety Standpat MAKEMONEY3 Exchanged cards: 2 *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 4545.00 Jorko70 [Ad, Ks, Qs, Jd, 10s] Ace high straight Win: 0.00 Fresh96 Fold Win: 0.00 Daft Pegas [As, Ah, Ac, 6s, 6c] Full house Win: 4545.00 Jeety Fold Win: 0.00 MAKEMONEY3 [9s, 9h, 9c, Qc, 6h] Three of a kind, nines Win: 0.00 As you see I get lucky as my lack of knowledge about the rules shows through. However my question here is: this was the only hand in the game where I ever saw sixes dealt. As I continued to play I understood the relevance of 7-A in the game name. So why were sixes dealt in the first hand? Also someone won a hand with 10,9,8,7,A - I assume that this is a low straight but would appreciate someone confirming this.

slapdash Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Re: 5 Card Draw - I Don't Understand This If there are five players, the 6's are included. Otherwise there would only be 32 cards in the deck, of which 25 are dealt originally, leaving just 7 for draws, which will often not be enough. Even with the deck size used, it's still possible to run out of cards if there are more than three players: I don't know what happens in that case. And yes, A-7-8-9-10 (or A-6-7-8-9 if sixes are in play) counts as a straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
