NEW Hand Ranking System 1.01

[Tim Harry]

OK guys, after much thought, debate & disputing I have decided to put forward my recommendation for an overhaul of the hand ranking system. I believe this can only be of benefit to our wonderful game.

High Card

1 Pair

2 Pair

3 Of-A-Kind

3 Pair

Str__ght

Straight

Hi-Lo Straight

Frush

Flush

Full House

Packed House

4 Of-A-Kind

Straight Flush

Royal Flush


Had also considered the 4 card straight...but that was just silly.

In Addition: Most split pots would become redunadant as the highest kicker will take down the pot.

So if the board shows

and the players had
and

then the King would play & take the pot.

If these changes help just one person in the poker community then I feel we've have made a step in the right direction.

May you all "flop the nuts" (or..in the case of some of the new hands...turn the nuts)

Tim.

LOL!!


love the hi-lo straight, my gf calls it an 'around the corner straight' and I laughed at her too


should have included the 4 card flush - a mate of mine would be overjoyed

BigPete33,

I did consider the 4 card flush but thought that the suit ranking would be just too hard to remember for some players.

Apologise to your friend for me.

Tim.

You have no idea how hard I'm laughing (at his expense)


love your work!

What about the 6 card straight?

Stupidest idea i have ever heard, u do that to a great game in your NPL tournaments and u have lost ur self a regular player of NPL.

Mate, it's a joke

If you're sick of the bog standard hand rankings, just duck over to Tasmania, where flushes outrank 4 of a kind.

That's an interesting read! Never knew that...
