h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think you win by default, Red, but there's no one here who's money you can take at the moment

Not so fast, Irv. Just because I'm hardly on line doesn't mean you (and Red) can trot off with my virtual money!!

I see your ten, and I call. (Remember the rules; decide your hand before your opponent reveals hers).

Two pairs. Jacks and sevens. And you?


(Psst, Irv, do you have the new code for the "Who's Online" window? I've withdrawn myself as an ACE, due to lack of time to go online, and so I'm out of the loop....)

BTW, just to remind myself, here are how the hands rank.

Five of a Kind
Straight Flush
Four of a Kind
Full House
Flush
Straight
Three of a Kind
Two Pair
Pair
High Card

Right. I decided Red's hand weeks ago. A full house. I was going to use Jacks, but you've already got those so I'll say... pair of Kings, three dueces.

Who's online can be found at Bruce's Guide to H2G2 Version 2, which can be linked to from the front page. I'm not actively ACEing (I'm on vacation) so I don't have the link on me, but that's where I got it

Thanks for the tip.

Looks like you (or Red) wins this hand.

You can deal the next one. What game shall it be? Five-card draw? Five-card stud? Seven-card stud? Those are the only ones I know.

Sadly, neither Irving, nor I know how to play stud poker.
