High Cards

[Ronald]

A common mistake people make is think the games are bugged when they have an ACE HIGH and the game says you have something else as the HIGH card.

This is NOT a bug. It's most likely that the model (other player) has an ACE HIGH as well. So it will IGNORE both player's "ace high" and go with the next high cards.

So keep this in mind. Every now and then, somebody will claim there is a bug with the high card being reported. Often times they'll say I had an "Ace High" or "King High" but the game said I had a "TEN High".

Check the other player's hand and see if she has an "Ace High" as well.

Another example, if BOTH players have Ace cards AND King cards. The game will use the NEXT highest card values instead. It will NOT say Ace High or King High.

One 'mistake' I'd like to see fixed mostly for cosmetic reasons:

When someone goes all in, at least in Hold'em and nobody else can be raised, the players flip their cards before more cards are drawn.

Its mostly a peeve more than anything and only effects the party game.

I'll look into that. Will talk to my programmer when he gets back.

I agree then the texas hold em games will be like on World Poker Tour and other poker television shows that both hands be turned face up after the call if no other player has called. The only exception to this would be it two players that have chips left after calling have called the all in player because more rounds of betting would be possible. I have found that the all-in bet is a very effective tool of betting in both your games and with live games as well. With the turning of both players hands it is fun to figure the odds as each card is dealt. I do the same for the television games to help my mental odds and then the television gives the odds and when it is the same it confirms my thinking. I know it is a small fix but would add to the fun of the game. Thanks for all of your efforts not only for this game but others as well.
