    Saw the poker puzzles thread and thought I would toss this riddle out there: In Omaha 8 or better, if you start with the hand 3339, are there any final boards that will guarantee you a scoop of the pot? If so, what are they?

    Great riddle Mark.

     

    Well you can't qualify for the low so it's going to have to be the high hand that wins a share of the pot.  The only hand to guarantee a share (that I can think of) would have to be 999 on the board with no suited connectors for the other 2 cards.

     

    Am I wrong?

    There are two other, less obvious, final boards that will give you a scoop. Any guesses? (And by the way, when someone gave me this riddle at a poker table, I had to leave the game because I got so obsessed with it. Didn't come up with one of the answers until hours later).

    I will guess that another might be 399 on the board? But really have no idea! Please tell!

    Thanks for this post from:

    Possible but not guaranteed if someone is holding two of any higher cards on the board.  They would then have a higher full house but i can see where you are coming from here Katt.

    Another guess.... one of your 3's is suited with your 9. Board has A-K-Q of the same suit? I think that has holes in it too... dang this is a tough question.

    What about A-2-3? Then the lowest they could have is A-2-4?

    Yes but then you can't possibly win a low hand and you would only have 3 of a kind.  You can only win with the 93 so it has to be 3x9 on the table and no other pair.

    Thanks blue... I figured I was way out on that one... but what about this one?

    If you had the J of that suit...yes.  The J plus one other suited would beat the 9.

     

    Back to the drawing board.
