In such variants, there could be multiple AAA full houses to worry about.<br /><br />However, in straight, draw or stud poker all of the cards in your hand belong solely to you, so there can never be more than one AAA full house in a round. Therefore you'd only have to watch out for 4s of a kind and straight flushes, so the theory would work.Penfoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-10588109944180446092012-04-30T11:35:19.780-05:002012-04-30T11:35:19.780-05:00but in trying to protect against some very rare ha...but in trying to protect against some very rare hands, doesn't this make you vulnerable to other full houses?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
