My former roomate called me and asked me if a Full House beats a "frush". I thought about the odds of getting each hand, but I'm never sure about that list. It took me a few pages of surfing to get the quick refrence. That was a few too many pages to work through. Let me do everybody I know a favor. For me, for you, for anybody. Here is a list of what hand beats what. If you use this page to settle a dispute, ten percent of that pot is going to me.
Royal Flush - I've never even come close to working this hand...even in my dreams.
Straight Flush - I've come close, but the straight frush eludes me.
Four of a kind - This is the reason wild cards aren't as exciting as they sound.
Full house - You can spell "kakka"...but that doesn't mean anything.
Flush - I get this the most outside of two pair.
Straight - I always get this when I play the video or calculator version of the game.
Three of a Kind - This always looks like a solid hand to me...I probably flash a tell when I draw this.
Pair - I can't think of anything to say here.
High Card - What's the lowest high card hand you have seen? I think I saw a jack-high win once.
Quick story: Never spend fifteen minutes trying start an old car that will not start in 7 degree weather. Especially when you are in the presence of a pregnant woman. It's not right to make her suffer like that, and she'll just get mad. I learn lessons like these watching my brother and sister-in-law bicker...it's good entertainment when you choose no side.
