Hi,

Well, my question is about comparing full houses. I remembered you once said or advised “Jacks full of tens (JJJ, TT) beats Jacks full of nines (JJJ, 99)”. I can’t remember when exactly you have said that. But I’m wondering, can that really ever happen? I believe that in a 52 card deck, there are only four jacks. Am I missing something?

Thanks you,
Jayden
Jayden,

In flop games, such as Texas Holdem or Omaha, there are situations that two players can have similar full houses due to shared cards. For example if you held pocket tens and your opponent held pocket nines, three jacks on the flop would give you both jacks full. The same is true if you held J-10 and your opponent held J-9 and the board ran out J-J-10-9-4. In games other than Holdem and Omaha, it is not possible for two players to have jacks full unless they are playing with wild cards.
