| A previous thread by flintsword was talking about a set of aces not being the nuts if the board contained a 5 or 10. To add to that, I want to pose a puzzler: What is the lowest possible hand that can be the nuts on the river? I will answer this question in a followup to this thread so as not to ruin it for players who are puzzling over it. | ||

| The lowest nut is a set of Queens. The reason is that if the board is paired, then quads are the nuts, so you must have an unpaired board and it must not have 3 cards on it that make a straight. With five cards on the board you need something like 2378Q in order to not have any 3 cards of a straight and not have an ace. Intuition would say that you could have a lower nuts, but intuition would just be plain wrong. | ||
