A Texas Hold \'Em game with two jokers in the deck
This is a simple question based on odds, but I have no idea how to figure the answer out. Suppose you are playing in a no limit Texas Hold 'Em game with 54 cards. The only difference between a normal Hold 'Em game and this one is that the two jokers are left in the deck, and they're wild. Now suppose two people are playing this game heads-up. One is dealt:
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] The other is dealt: A joker and the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] What is the percentage for the aces to hold up preflop? |

Probability forum buddy. Also I'm pretty sure the joker hand is a favorite.

It depends on how the jokers are used. Are they used the same way as in Jacks or Better Draw?

Re: A Texas Hold \'Em game with two jokers in the deck
This is a complete guess but any hand with a joker is a favorite over any other hand I think, for this simple reason.
If the board comes with a pair, ANY pair, the joker hand has trips. If the board comes 4 to a suit, ANY suit, the joker hand has an ace high flush. If the opponent catches one of his non-joker card, he has two pair (because the joker automatically pairs with any other card ont he board). These are just the immediate ways I see the joker making the hand dominant. |

Yes, I meant that the jokers are completely wild. Sorry for posting this here.

a joker would be too powerful in holdem

I'd think that jokers would have an even greater effect in omaha and on a player's board in stud.

two pair should never happen with a wild card...

Oh yeah my bad, he would have 3 of a kind at worst...
AA would be a huge underdog to Joker/X I believe. |
