Hand Rankings with Six Card Hands
I was pondering a game of 7-card stud where the best poker hand of 6 cards wins the pot. In such a game, where would three pairs and a "packed apartment" (Quads and a pair) rank amidst the usual hand rankings? My guesses are below:
HIGH CARD ONE PAIR TWO PAIRS <font color="red">THREE PAIR</font> THREE OF A KIND STRAIGHT FLUSH FULL HOUSE QUADS <font color="red">PACKED APARTMENT</font> STRAIGHT FLUSH |

Egads, you're right! The problems of posting so late... That one I couldn't even guess where to put it.

Re: Hand Rankings with Six Card Hands
I haven't done the math, but it's possible that even the traditional hand rankings would change. I know that in a seven-card ranking, zero pairs would rank higher than one pair.

Re: Hand Rankings with Six Card Hands
The traditional hand rankings would change
Flushes and straights (6 cards) would be much harder to get, whereas pairs/trips are easier to get. All poker hands come in two varieties Groupings and Collections Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, Full House, Quads are grouping hands Straight, Flush, Straight Flush are collection types If you notice there is an alternation Pair (grouping) Two Pair (grouping) Three of a Kind (grouping) Straight (collection) Flush (collection) Full House (grouping) Four of a kind (grouping) Straight Flush (collection) Basically the fewer cards involved the easier it is to get a collection and more difficult to get a grouping and the more cards involved the easier it is to get a grouping and the harder it is to get a collection. The 5 card poker hand is built around the fact that there are 4 of any rank and provides the maximum variety of collections/groupings. In a 6 card game two pair is still possible and even more likely than in a card game, but if you aren't going to count a 5 card flush worth anything you can see how that will heavily alter the traditional rankings. |

Packed apartment is actually called quads full.
