Stud Poker Sequence: Strong Hand

Video Transcript

"Now if you follow, followed along in this series, you may, may be asking, what is a really good hand in the game of sequence? I'm going to attempt to answer that question. We've dealt through fifth street and there's nothing highly exciting going on. If you look at the board, there's a pair of 8's over here and thanks to the way that the game is played, a pair of 5 showing. But a potential straight flash going. Well, you know what, in the hole of this hand, we actually have ace 3. At this time, we have a straight and it is the second knots. The higher straight of course would be a 6-3, or course we don't really deal too much with the knots in this game, a stud game because there are no community cards. If we look around at other hands, we're kind of worried about this hand and we're kind of worried about this jack-8-8, but, there's two other 8's on the board. So, we know that our straight here is probably the best hand going. And, the 2 is wild at this time, but, the 3 can become wild. So, our hand at this time, statistically, will not get worse. There's one more up card to come, let's look how this place out. This 10 of clubs doesn't help us, but the 3 of hearts over here, it does, because now, 3's are wild and we actually have a straight flash. We have ace of diamonds, 2 of diamonds, 3's are wild, 3 of diamonds, 4 of diamonds, 5 of diamonds. That's how you take advantage of a very powerful hand in the game of sequence."
