GCA "Lowball Question" Theory

[Newgca]

The game is California lowball, A-5 with a joker. The game is showdown. Which
is a favorite and why?

If "I" gave you a Pat 9 and "I" chose a drawing hand, who would be the favorite
and why? This is showdown poker. $100 a hand side bet. Who will end up with the
money? Please don't bother asking stupid questions as to what hand I would draw
to or what Pat 9 I would give you. Just answer the question I asked, if you are
able?

I think your draw would be 22:20 favorite. You with the Jo234K, Pat with
a 95432.

Take away the bug, and increase the odds of the draw hitting a pair, and it
changes. Say 97654 v A234K and the odds favor the made 9.

Problem here is the deck contains 53 cards, while yours contain 52.

Is this question TOO HARD to answer? Hey Augie or Vince, simple math
question? Get some help, hahaha.

Yeah, 22:21. But the deal is "I" would be the favorite since he could
pick the hands to go either way. Ta da.

Wrong, moron. The favorite depends on what cards are left in the deck,
which will change, depending on what the two hands hold. Maybe this is
getting a little too complex for you. In the example I gave, you're drawing
to 17 outs, out of 43 unknown cards to win, making the made 9 the favorite.
If the hands were 9A234 v 5678K, you'd be drawing to 13 outs, out of 43.
Both these cases make the one card draw a dog to a made 9. However, A2389 v
A23JoK, you'd draw to 22 outs out of 43, making you just a slight favorite.

So, I'd win the $100 most of the time betting against the 1 card draw.

Now go and prove your action flop theory, or is the math too tough?

In 1973, I bought my first real component stereo, in DC, and got 10 coupons
for KFC chicken dinners. Well, DC is south of the Mason Dixon, so I guess

Actually he's right.
Rude, but right.

The question specified that "I" (meaning him) chose the hands.

He would therefore choose the two hands that fit the definition while
offering himself the best odds.

There is no "It depends", he's going to rig it to his advantage.

Okay, I should probably stay the hell out of this, but if you read the
original question, Russ said that he selects a made 9 hand, and he
selects a draw hand. Not a random 9 vs. a random draw. So he can
select the 22:21 hand pair and be the favorite to win. Of course, he
wouldn't make money very quickly :)

You could also argue that since Russ is self-described as an
accomplished cheater at cards, and he's selecting these hands, he
might have "selected" his draw card as well, so the probability that
he'll win is 1.0. Either way, if someone offers you a bet like this,
they have an edge in mind even if you can't see it, so the most likely
outcome is that they'll end up with the money.

This is also true of any solicitation offering you some sort of
insurance (on your mortgage, your credit card balance or anything
else). If they're pushing you to make the bet, it's a bad bet.

Sorry JT, it's not as good as it sounds. I lived in Texas for 20 years
prior to moving here. I've tried four different BBQ places in Phoenix area
and the best is not half as good as the worst BBQ place I've tried in Texas.

Well, it is San Antonio. It's not like they had a choice between

Yes, well they could have chose a decent Mexican food place.

I wonder if I could use it as a bargaining tool. Like, "Well you're gonna

Add the following article, and Phoenix can pretty much 'one up'

Hey, stupid, listen I like this question of yours. Why? Because you,
the friggin idiot that posed it, can't do the work to answer it!
There is no way that you know the how to figure out the answe to this
problem. You are just to plain stupid. My guess is that you ran it
on poker probe or had someone do the math for you. But a dunce cap
like you doesn't have a chance in hell of working out this problem.

Tell you what I will do Vince, I'll BET I have far more math knowledge
than you do and I will bet on it. I will bet whatever you like I have
a far higher IQ than you do. My money will be posted, will yours? 5
figures at least. I was a proposition better over 30 years ago, come

24:19 in favour of the pat hand
I miss with: 4xK,Q,J,10 less the one I discard = 15 + 9 pairing cards = 24
Hit with 4x 9,8,7,6,5,4 =24 less your 5 low cards = 19

10 other cards = 53 card deck

Actually on reflection, it's slightly closer on average because the
pat hand rates to hold some low cards that pair me - still it's the
favourite, though

You choose the draw, you're 3 cards better off than my original answer
because obviously you are going to choose 3 duplicates with your
joker.

So actually you are not 24:19, you are 22:21 favourite with the draw.
Nice problem...
