Huge poker question.

[Hi-Po]

Alright, my step dad played poker tonight with his golf league. His hand was dealt an Ace high Straight. The game was played with the wild cards of 5 and 10. He went all in on this amazing deal. Some other guy goes all in and puts down 5 of a kind???? wins the game. My step dad was so pissed he left golf early i think. Anyone out their that knows poker good please help me out.

lol I have the whole scene playing in my head

"I say, trevor, I think you are bluffing"
"tallyho mitchell, I have gone all in"
"I shall bet you my finest graphite clubs that my ace high straight will defeat whatever you have"
"drat, it appears an ace high straight defeats my five of a kind. or not. unhand those clubs"
"im going home, you underhanded assholes. Good day."

hahaha

I would gander to say that 5 of a kind is not a legal hand. At best he had 4 of a kind 5 high. Anyway, wouldn't matter as 4 of a kind still beats a straight Ace high.

HAHA thats funny. His last game he drank 3 red bulls and a 5th of Jager. Comin in the door being held up by his buddy. He fell at the guys house taking a piss in the urnal(yes this guys house is cool i think) and broke the toilet off the fittings. He musta been holdin those pretty golf clubs or something?

modulistic approves of your dad. all you had to say was he is into jager.

Jager is my baby daddy.

[Hi-Po]

me, you , and my step dad are good then. i havnt drank it in 2 weeks thou. i had some of my buddies come up from Nashville and we reanted a hotel with a half gallon and a 5th of Jager. with 12 Sparks. I SAID GOD DAMN!!! mix alcohol with alcohol and we broke everything in the room. ( Both class picture frames above beds, HUGE vanity mirror with football. lamp, and bath room door was off the hinges) man..... it was great. but i had to take a break and go to less crazy beer.

I play poker all the time. In fact, I just came home from playin at the casino. And you can play two ways.

1.)If you are playing with wilds and one eyed jacks etc., then the players must agree on what is and what is not a hand before they start playing. So this question does not come up.

or.

2.) The other way to play with wilds and one eyed jacks is to play by the rules. This way players won't have any questions on what is or isn't a hand. And it will eliminate the five of a kind hand etc. Most of the time, when people play with wilds etc., they use this method of rules................ Straight flush > four of a kind > full house > flush > straight > three of a kind > two pair > pair > high card.

it is legal with the wild cards...........

[Hi-Po]

are you sure???? i was leaning towards.... 4 of a kind 5 high.

[zleeper z]

You can play either way, that's the whole point. But the players have to decide on which way the are going to play.

[Hi-Po]

damn alcohol. lol . he said he was NEVER playing with them ever. too bad.

[Modulistic]

yeah sounds like your dad should have turned over the table and started swinging. i wouldnt have stood for that kind of trickery.

[Hi-Po]

i dont know if your being sarcastic or not. ethier way is funny.

[Liquifire]

not a cool deal for your dad.........but you can play either way, If dealing with multiple wild cards, then I usually play that you can have as many of a kind as is possible.......fwiw

[Motrv8d Steve]

i've played a lot of poker in my day.
The problem is, when you call 5 and 10's wild, that's a LOT of wild cards. Meaning, an Ace-high straight, while a good hand, is nowhere near one of the best. With that many wild cards, you better have at least a full house, four of a kind or a straight flush.

It all depends on the other guy of course what he has showing. If I have my Ace high straight and I'm looking at a possible 5 of a kind, I have to realize that with all those wild cards, good chance he wins it. So calling with that straight looking at five of a kind? I'm not surprised at all he lost.

5 of a kind os gay, if you are playing for $$$ than you need to play 100% by the rules, which means no 5 of a kind

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

[Capster78]

And this is why I don't play with wild cards.

my thoughts exactly.

[skywalkrNCSU]

playing with wild cards is fucking lame

and it doesnt matter if his 5 of a kind wont hold up because 4 of a kind > a straight
