Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
Here's my strategy so far:
Play AA. Catch top set. Cap every street. And I'll say it again, don't play in my games! |

[/ QUOTE ] That could actually work..i calculated that the chances of you getting AA is about 31:1. Stick in KK and AK and your rocking! Also, it seems your equity edge with big cards is reduced. I.e. AK is not as big a favorite against QJ as in normal Holdem. |

Re: Chance of the board pairing
[ QUOTE ]
He we go. Very simple calculation: Calculate the chance of board NOT pairing: First card is irrelevant. Say A. Second card must not be an A so can only be 16 out of the 19 left. Third card is 12/18. Fourth card is 8/17. Fifth is 4/16. Give 16/19 * 12/18 *8/17 * 4/16 = 0.066 So chance of pairing = 1-0.066 = 0.954 or 95.4%. Next I need to calculate what the chances are of winning if you have a PP. [/ QUOTE ] You can actually use standard tools like Pokenum or Pokerstove for this game, just mark all cards 9 and lower as dead. |

Judging from the table chat, players are stumbling into the game not realizing the premise. I suspect we're in for a spate of "UB is rigged" posts. [/ QUOTE ] I was thinking the same thing. There have GOT to be people playing this game that don't realize that it's Royal. "Look at this hand history! What a run of cards!" |

Okay... KQs should be okay to, due to its straight flush and nut flush potential, no? [/ QUOTE ] Umm...I hate to break it to you, but there is no straight flush, there is no nut flush, there is only a royal flush. And you are as likely to get it with KQs as you are with ATs or AQs or KJs, etc. Flush=Winner in this game because every flush is royal. |

[/ QUOTE ] Similarly, connectedness is worth exactly 0 in this game, because every straight is identical (A-T). Edit: I did a lot of math on this game with the help of pokerstove when it first came out in play money. If I can find it, I'll post it here. |

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
So suitedness and connectedness are virturally or totally worthless.
Thus the only value left is high card'ness and pair'ness. I'm guessing AA/KK/AKs/AKo are the best hands in the game and if you stuck with these three you'd usually have the best of it. What are the odds of getting one of these hands on a particular deal? 3.1% for AA 3.1% for KK 8.4% for AKs and AKo Thus you have a 14.6% (1 in 7 roughly) chance of picking up one of these hands. Solid? |
