Poker Question...
I've randomly been playing online poker lately (I have to do something when I chain smoke) and I know jack shit about poker.
However, I came across this tutorial that seems to say a Straight beats a Full House.
Is that ever true? Or is this simply an error?
I was under the impression that ANY Full House beats ANY Straight.
What's going on here?
If it matters, it was from the Android app, WSOP (World Series of Poker).

Re: Poker Question...
It is because you are playing Omaha. You can only use 2 cards from your hand. You need to use all 4 cards to make your full house which you can't do in Omaha.
5 karma for me.

That's weird full house is definitely higher then straight, is that four a heart? In which case you have a straight flush which is better then a full house...

Re: Poker Question...
While correct you can not use all 4 cards in your hand for Omaha as stated above. So with 2 cards his best hand is a straight not a full house.

So a Full House wasn't even an option in the example.
Got it.
Karma sent, and much appreciated!
Glad I read the tutorial.

Re: Poker Question...
Better to learn no limit hold em, as you can play more cash games, tournaments and sit n go's, live or online. I have ebooks and coaching vids if you need any guidance.
