just one stupid question

3rd nuts. when we put people on hands we are putting them on potential hands dealt to them. As both these combos can be DEALT to a player, you have to take both into consideration.

this thread is brilliant, im loling here

you also have A 6 which would be the nuts

We already hold the A

the 6 blocks both straight flushes therefore the nuts in this scenario

Whats the Second Best Starting hand in poker??

Widely Agreed that AA is the best hand and KK the second best...

But what about the other AA?? Surely its the Second best starting hand and then KK is the third best starting hand

Just thought i'd poke the fire a little!

I personally think that the two AA hands would be considered equal pre-flop.

So essentially the two AAs are "tied for first" as the best starting hand.

If you open Equilab you can see this in action.
They are 50/50 preflop, and one of them improves slightly on a two-tone flop, and slightly more on a monochrome flop.

1- A :diamond:A
7- KK

Remember that suits have no ranked strength in Texas Hold'em.

cmoon guys.

From wiki - In poker, the nut hand, is the strongest possible hand in a given situation.

So second possible strongest hand in this situation is A :heart:x :heart:.

Moved to No Limit strategy section.

Man, you can't have 3 nuts!
