Help with a puzzle

Postby sambouk » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:37 am GMT

Hi guys,

I'm not much of a poker player myself, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me out with a puzzle?

To solve part of it, I think I need to know the amount that each player is left with after the following game, if they all started with $232:

Thanks in advance! :-D

Here you go:

After the second hand, Player 2 has to sit out an orbit for not raising the nuts on the river!

I've absolutely no idea what that means, but you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

I can't 100% promise it is correct but looking at it again this morning, it still looks good.

So what's the rest of the puzzle? You've piqued my interest now.

As for the sitting out bit - I know that this is just a puzzle but in hand 2, if I am reading it correctly, Player 2 checks with the nuts (straight AKQJT), Player 6 bets 9 and Player 2 just calls. Player 2 has a further 12 chips after the 9 and should have chucked them in as a raise to 21. Not doing that in a tournament will get you a penalty for not trying to maximise your winnings with the nut hand because otherwise it looks like collusion.

Quite randomly, it's actually a set of coordinates I'm after. Once rearranged using clues in the players names, the total of remaining chips for each player make up the six points of longitude and latitude.

That is quite the unexpected next step :shock:

Care to share the clues/player names in case anyone can help?
