So fear factor the other night had a 'poker' game.
The contestants were in three teams of two, and each contestant had some disgusting thing to eat. they would each recieve one (faceup) hole card for completing their stunt (therefore max. 2 holecards per team, but receiving 1 or 0 is possible)
Then 5 community cards were revealed one at a time and whoever had the best 5card hand (using any of the 7 - gee just like holdem) won 25,000 USD.
Team 1 completed one dish and got one card: 4s
Team 2 completed two and got: 7h 4h
Team 3 completed one and got: Kh
What would you rather have in this situation?
Imagining that team 1 wasn't there, and that you are all in for a $25000 pot: would you pick 7h4h or Kh ?
My thoughts in white:
<font color="white">
my instinct was I'd rather have the King then 74s, even if that other 4 wasn't dead.
My subsequent 'research' showed a close coinflip with K2 slightly ahead. I ran K2 vs (74 or similar 85) with the other 2s as dead cards </font>
