Who Knows How To Play Poker - Are You Up For A Challenge ????
40 Answers
Okay here's the deal:
I have a standard deck of 52 cards.
I bet I can beat you at a game of 5 card poker.
I'll beat any hand you get - note I'll beat your hand, not draw with you.
You can even choose your own cards from the deck.
I choose my 5 cards first; then you choose your 5 cards.
I then discard as many, or as few cards, as I wish (anything from 0-5 cards) from my hand and then choose the equivalent number of cards from the deck to replace the ones I've discarded. The discarded cards go onto a separate pile and cannot be reused by either player. You do the same - discard a number of cards and choose whichever cards you want from the remaining cards in the deck, to replace the ones you've discarded.
We've now both got 5 cards each ....... but I'll beat you :)

Royal flush needs a 10, and giz has it though! I wonder what happens if you pick four Jacks and another ace, though... ah, but then he'll just choose 6,7,8,9 in a fixed suit...

If player one doesn't pick four tens, but goes for four jacks or queens, then player two should take the four tens instead. The result is that both players are stopped from having a royal flush, but crucially the player with the jacks can't form a straight flush below it either. Thus, again, his best hand is 5 6 7 8 9 of a suit, whereas the other person could make 6 7 8 9 10. The key to the tens is that you can form straights on both sides of it, just, making them the most flexible starting option.
