Full House Combination Full House in poker

The topic of this review material will be a very interesting poker combination Full House. Let’s start with a translation into Russian – in the literal version it sounds like a “full house”, but in English this phrase has long become a cliché and means “full house”. As for the Full House in poker, it is a full-fledged five-card combination, inferior in its hierarchy to Four of a Kind and a strong Straight Flush. She is also one of the five combinations that do not use the highest kicker card.

Full House is an interesting and fairly strong set, but it does not give its owner a 100% chance of winning, in poker, as you know, people do not win cards. Full House in poker – a combination In very simple terms, Full House is a set of Three of a Kind and a Pair, that is, it consists of three cards of one (identical) denomination and two cards of another (identical) denomination. What you need to know – the main one in this set is the Three of a Card, so in a situation where a player, for example, has collected Ten, Ten, Ten + Jack and Jack, you need to say: “Full House of Tens and Jacks”, but say “From Jacks and Ten” is wrong. The power of the Full House combination in poker As we said above – Full House is one of the very strong combinations. Stronger than it is Kare – a set of four cards of different suits of the same denomination and Straight Flush. In the case when a Full House goes to not one, but two participants, the strength of the hand is determined by the seniority of the Troika included in it. Let’s look at this with an example: A Full House combination of Jacks and Kings – JJJKK is inferior to a set of Queens and Nines – QQQTT, since Queens are stronger than Jacks. In those rare cases when the Threes in a Full House are the same at face value, the Pair becomes decisive – that is, Ace, Ace, Ace + Jack, Jack is stronger than Ace, Ace, Ace + Ten, Ten. If the combinations are absolutely equal – the players have the same Pairs in their hands, and there is a common Three of a Kind (Set) on the board – the pot is divided equally between them. The strongest Full House variant in poker is a set of three Aces and two Kings – AAAKK. Odds of making a Full House in poker Let’s dive into the statistics a bit and find out what is the probability of making a Full House combination under different circumstances and at different stages of the game. We will understand on the example of Texas Hold’em – the most popular type of poker today. There is a Pair in the hands – the probability of collecting a Full House at the flop stage is equal to one percent. If the cards in the starting hand differ at face value, the chances of a Full House on the flop are reduced to 0.1 percent. On the flop, a Three of a Kind (Set) gives us a 13 percent chance to improve to Full House on the turn stage and thirty percent on the river (the final street in poker). A three of a kind (Set) on the turn street can become a full house on the river with a probability of 19.5 percent. In a situation where two Pairs come to the participant on the flop (for example, pocket and common on the board), the chances of improving on the turn will be less than nine percent, namely, 8.5. At the same time, by the river, the odds increase to 16.5 percent. But if two Pair came only on the turn, then the probability of collecting the entire Full House will be equal to nine percent. Summing up, let’s go over the material once again – Full House in poker is quite rare, and therefore quite a strong combination – it is not in the top three of the most significant. Second only to Four of a Kind and Straight Flush, if you remember Royal Flush, then we note that this is not a separate combination, but a royal, so to speak, variant (up to an ace) of Straight Flush. Full House consists of five cards, there is no kicker in it, since the combination is complete. It consists of a Set or Three of cards of the same denomination and a Pair of cards, also of the same denomination. The strength of the combination is determined by the value of the Three (Set), if the Threes of the players are the same, the strongest is determined by the value of the Pair. And when we get into an extremely rare situation where there are two completely identical hands, then both participants win and the game bank is divided between them in equal shares. Professional poker players love this hand – playing it not only gives the player good chances to win, but also requires him to make accurate, thoughtful decisions and pay special attention to his opponents – as they can have the same set, but with stronger cards and his The three may be higher than yours at face value. By knowing your opponent’s habits and playing style, you’ll be better able to figure out whether to fold or go all-in knowing that your opponent is bluffing too often. As in many other situations – be attentive to the situation at the gaming table, practice more and do not make decisions in haste.
