I was dealt JOKER, Ac, 9s, 9h, 6h, 3h, 2h.
How would you have split this hand?
I believe the correct play would be the flush in the high hand and A/9 in the low. A/9 isn't too terribly bad relative to 9/9, but flush is a great improvement over A/A in the high hand.
Quote: MelcoYour poll has an error in it. The one option has two 9h and no 9s.

I tried to correct the poll but I couldn't. You are correct, the 9h should be 9s

Aces in high hand Nines in low hand. Ace-nine is an extremely weak ace, not much better than a king-queen. Nines are far superior to an ace-nine. A flush is superior to aces, of course, but not as much as the superiority of nines over the ace-nine. My guess......
JB can show the exact EVs of both plays.

I was dealt , JOKER, Ac, 9s, 9h, 6h, 3h, 2h, .
I would have played it this way. JOKER, 9h, 6h, 3h, 2h, (Flush) with Ac, 9s on top.
I hit 'House way' and they would have played JOKER, Ac, 6h, 3h, 2h with 9h, 9s on top.
The dealer had JOKER, 10h, 9d, 8d, 7c (straight) with Kd, 7s on top.
The 'House way' resulted in a PUSH.
My way would have won.

It's gonna happen. I was playing UTH and folded 6s 3c; the flop was 3-3-3. Oh well. If we could see through the cards it would be easy.

Yes, playing the flush is more likely to win if the dealer gets a straight or a flush.
The house way is more likely to win if the dealer gets two pair, or a pair with an ace kicker.
Which do you think is more likely?
Don't be results oriented.Quote: FatGeezusThe 'House way' resulted in a PUSH.

Shit happens.
Otherwise, yeah, I guess I would begrudgingly go pair/pair. I understand and acknowledge the numbers, but getting beat by a 2pair+ would piss me off so much.

Two jokers? I don't think so.
I've played PGP only a few times in my life and it's usually me asking the dealer how to play my hand every round.

Either you're remembering a hand incorrectly, or there's something wrong with the WoO demo. There is only 1 joker in the deck, but you're saying you and the dealer each had one.
It's still much better to split your pairs. The 9s are too powerful up top to play the flush.

You folded before the flop in UTH? You mean regular Hold Em, right?
Quote: DeucekiesYou folded before the flop in UTH? You mean regular Hold Em, right?
I haven't played much poker (like regular Texas hold'em and such) in my life, but I've seen people folding their cards when they could just as easily have checked. Like....what the hell are you doing, do you also stand on A4 in BJ or 3x the flop on UTH or 2x in MS????
Quote: PlayYourCardsRightTwo jokers? I don't think so.
Another screw up by me.
The dealer had JACK, 10h, 9d, 8d, 7c and Kd, 7s.
