A-10 Hold'em, 20 card deck
Quote: charliepatrickThanks for this.
I didn't investigate what hands won and lost, but if you start with a pair AA you could land up with two pair (KKQQJ - and hence rarely Tie, but mostly Lose). If there's an Ace on the board then either the board has a pair or better (AKKQJ/AKKQQ/KKKQJ/KKKQQ - you make Full House, AAKQJ/AKKKK/KKKKQ - Quads) or a straight (AKQJT - you play the board or make a Straight Flush). So it does look as if you can't make Trips starting with a Pair.
Yes, exactly right.
While playing the game, I have learned to raise when a straight is made on the board. The other players think I have made a better hand and usually fold -not realizing that when a straight is on the board that it is impossible for any player to have a better hand. LOL, the game is so new that many players do not understand it.

That’s surprising to me unless there’s 3 to a flush on the board. Broadway on the board is no different in this game and hold em.

Exactly, when a straight is made on the board(with 3 to a flush or 4 to a flush), there is still possible to have a better hand, i.e straight flush.
