Another poker puzzle

[Kiko]

Im stumped aswell - can you check the nuts one from yesterday Alien. I have a query about one of them. Thanks

[aliensyndm]

OK will leave it for now, I'm not entirely convinced the hands I'm currently thinking of are the best possible ones anyway. We shall see though !

[aliensyndm]

Here's a clue in the sense of the kinda thought process you might use to work out what cards should be used.

If everyone has each others cards, they can't hit.

If the cards aren't suited it means the only flushes available are 4 flushes.
With that in mind, you would try to use certain suits as much as possible as aces will win any 4 flushes.

The other way to make hands is straights. You want the cards to have as little chance as possible of that. An ace can make a straight in 2 ways.


I've not given too much away there but perhaps that will help a bit.

Player 1 Ks2C
Player 2 Kh2s
Player 3 Kc2h

This gives 95.93%

(Thanks to Doctor of Danger as I adapted his answer)

Welcome to the forum Colbro!!

[aliensyndm]

Yeah well done colbro, that's the best I can manage it so far.
I think that's the optimum, unless anyone of course can someone can find a better one. Was trickier than it first looked wasn't it ?

Ha! The best YOU can manage so far! Stealing my puzzle AND answer! It's about time I signed up here anyway.


So.. Hi everyone.

[aliensyndm]

I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about
Yeah ok this is the person I stole it from, seemed to have most people stumped for a bit. Got any more vernon ?

[Kiko]

So where did you steal this from Alien?

Vernon?? Where do you normally post?

[mexineil]

haha that's alien trying to be funny cause i "look like veron kay". to be fair to him, he did a pretty awesome animation proving this theory, which i'm sure he'll be only too happy to show to you.


So my name's not Vernon, it's Neil. And I own Alien at poker

[GETT1NLOTS]

I poo on Aliens crappy tests.
