Texas Hold'em Trivia

1. In hand one you hold AdAh. The flop comes 5h6d8s. You are in the hand with two other players. How many hands can your opponents have that would have you beat at this time?

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - Situational Poker

Answer: Eight

There are eight hands that have your hand beat at this moment in time. In all of the following hands the suit of the cards does not matter because no flush possibilities figure into this situation therefore the hands are considered suit neutral. Your opponent could have trips with pocket Fives, pocket Sixes or pocket Eights (3 hands). They could have two pair if they hold 56, 58 or 68 (3 hands). They could also hold 47 or 79 to give them a straight (2 hands). Therefore the total is 8 (3 + 3 + 2 = 8).

From Quiz Texas Holdem For Dummies

Answer: 5 (or more) cards in ascending order.

As all poker players should know, a straight is where you have five cards in consecutive order to the other. They don't have to be of the same suit. All the cards being of the same suit is a Flush, and all of the cards being the same number is impossible, unless you are allowing Jokers to be played, in which case a Joker can take the place of an A, giving you a possible 5th Ace.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - The Nuts

Answer: No, one hand can beat me.

There is no possibility of a flush. There is no two pair or three of a kind that can beat you. There is no full house possibility. There is only one possible hand that can beat your hand in this situation and that is if your opponent is holding 5, 3 for the Wheel (the lowest possible straight A-5). Although there are different combination of 5, 3 (eight to be exact) that could beat you it is still only considered one hand because in this instance the suits would not matter. Therefore, the correct answer is one hand can beat me.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em "Out"er Limits

Answer: Nine

At this point you have nine outs as any heart would give you a flush (13 [number of cards in a suit] - 4 [number of hearts exposed] = 9). You have runner of possibilities but none of those count yet.

Answer: The River

The first three cards are called the flop and are shown at the same time. The turn is the fourth card, and it is then followed by the river, which completes your hand.

From Quiz What Beats What

From Quiz Poker: Texas Hold 'em Odds

Answer: 24.1%

You might want to remember this if you didn't catch anything on the flop and are hoping to make at least a pair on the turn or river.

From Quiz Hold'em Lingo

Answer: A K

The Ace-King combination is referred to as this because it has the potential to be a great hand. But if it is not matched to the board, it is a "slippery slope downhill."

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - Situational Poker

Answer: Two

There are two hands that beat you here. Suits do not matter in this hand because of the rainbow flop. Both pocket Aces for a better set and QT for a Broadway straight beat you here. Against the pocket Aces you would be in serious trouble with only one out to a win (the remaining Kd) or runner runner for a shared Broadway straight (any remaining combination of QT). Against the QT you would be in much better shape but still a 2 to 1 dog (your opponent is a 64% favorite). You would need the board to pair to either get quads or a full house.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - The Nuts

Answer: No, one hand can beat me.

In this hand you have a full house, which takes care of any flushes or straights and there is no possible straight flush, but your opponent can still hold one hand that would beat you - 8h, 8s for four of a kind. Thus, the correct answer is one hand can beat me.

From Quiz What's in a Name? Part I

Answer: Fred says they are called Alabama Night Riders

Alabama Night Riders is a term for three kings not two. Four kings are known as the Four Horsemen, a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Pocket Kings are also known as Ace Magnets. Along those lines, at a full table, 9 or 10 players, there is a four percent chance that if you have pocket Kings, someone else has pocket Aces.

From Quiz Poker Mania: Texas Hold'Em edition (Beginner)

Answer: Aces & Rockets

Pocket Aces dominate any other hand pre-flop and are usually a favorite to win most pots.

From Quiz What Beats What

Answer: QC, 7C

Although each of these are a decent hand, the flush beats a straight, three of a kind, and two pair.

From Quiz Poker: Texas Hold 'em Odds

Answer: 4.3%

Whenever you have a pocket pair, this is the probability that you'll have 3 of a kind after the river.

From Quiz Hold'em Lingo

Answer: K 9

King-Nine or K9 is known by this term by the way it sounds like "canine" when it is pronounced. Get it?

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - Situational Poker

Answer: Fourteen

In this hand you have 14 outs that would beat your opponent's trips. Any remaining heart would give you a flush so that's 8 outs. Normally the number of outs would be 9 for a flush but the 9h would give your opponent either quads or a full house if you put them on trips. Any 5 or T would give you a straight so that's 8 more outs (four for each card). But since you already counted the 5h and the Th as part of the flush outs you actually only gain 6 straight outs. 8 + 6 = 14. Even if your opponent had pocket Aces and therefore trip Aces, you would still have a 40% chance to win the hand.

From Quiz Texas Holdem For Dummies

Answer: The winnings get split.

If two hands are EXACTLY the same, the winnings at the end of the round, otherwise known as the 'pot' gets split between all players who had the winning hand. This is a lot more likely in Holdem than standard poker, as the five cards on the table can be used by everyone, rather than just the hands acting independently of each other. It's nearly impossible for someone to bet more money than another in poker, unless someone runs out half way through a round, in which case, they will only win the money bet until that point (if they win, of course). If no more money is bet after the person runs out, they can still win the full pot. All of the suits in poker have the same value, so there is no worry about your suit being inferior.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - The Nuts

Answer: No, two or three hands can beat me.

In this hand there are three hands that can beat you. Your opponent can have pocket A's for a better full house. He can have 2d, 2h for four of a kind. He can have Qs, Ts for a royal flush. Any other hand and you would win. Therefore the answer is two or three hands can beat me.

From Quiz What Beats What

Answer: AH, QD

An ace high straight beats a king high straight, two pairs, and one pair.

From Quiz Poker: Texas Hold 'em Odds

Answer: 51.2%

Usually people don't have this many outs, but I have seen it before. If you are in this situation, it's basically a "coin flip" determining whether or not you make your hand (about a 50-50 chance).

From Quiz Texas Holdem For Dummies

Answer: Flop & The Flop

I'm not quite sure why, but the first three cards being placed on the table is known as The Flop. It commences after everyone has finished their first round of bets. Raising before this point is normally silly, no matter what hand you have, because it can go horribly wrong.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - The Nuts

Answer: Yes, no hand can beat me.

In this hand there is no other possible hand that can beat you. There are no flush possibilities. There are no straight possibilities. You have the highest possible three of a kind. There is no four of a kind possibilities. Therefore the answer is no hand can beat me.

Answer: 10C, 10D

Three tens and two aces would give this player a full house.

From Quiz Lesser Known Starting Hand Nicknames

Answer: When both Nines are black.

Phil won the 1989 World Series Main Event with wired, black Nines, making him the youngest poker player ever to do so. The name may be, in large part, due to his own self-promotion, as he makes it a point to pose with them often.

From Quiz Poker: Texas Hold 'em Odds

Answer: 8.7%

Sometimes you have four outs after the turn when you have an inside straight draw. You would have what is known as a "gapped straight" Example: 6-7-X-9-10 (An 8 is needed to complete the straight).

From Quiz Hold'em Lingo

Answer: 4 4

If your starting cards are "wired", that means you have a pair for your hole cards. This is also know as a "pocket" pair.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - Situational Poker

Answer: Two

There are only two cards that will guarantee you victory no matter what your opponent(s) hold - the 7d or the Qd. Both of these cards will give you a straight flush and beat any other possible hands, including quad Tens. This is the strongest hand an opponent could hold in this case but it would lose to you.

From Quiz Texas Holdem For Dummies

Answer: The Turn

After the Flop, and a round of betting has taken place, the fourth card is placed, a.k.a the Turn. This is normally the point where things start to heat up in a poker game. By now, you will normally know whether you have a good hand or not.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em - The Nuts

Answer: No, four or more hands can beat me.

Although you have a very strong hand with a full house, there are still four hands that can beat you. If your opponent holds either Jc, 9c or 9c, 6c, he will have a straight flush which will beat you. If your opponent holds either pocket 8's or pocket T's or 7h and a T, he will have a higher full house and beat you. Hence, the answer is there are four or more hands that can beat you.

From Quiz Texas Hold'em Ins and Outs

Answer: Five

Your opponent has already made his flush so you would need a fourth diamond on the board to give you a higher flush but that did not give your opponent a straight flush. Therefore you could catch the 3d, 10d, Jd, Qd, or Ad but not the 4d or 9d. Therefore you would have five outs. You would have an 11.36% chance of winning the hand after the turn.
