99% wrong answer! A or B? - the Answer

 

🃏 Omaha Reminder:

• Each player is dealt 4 hole cards.

• They must use exactly 2 hole cards and exactly 3 community cards to make their best 5-card hand.

---

Community Board (5 Cards):

2♠ 2♣ 2♥ 3♠ 3♣
→ Full house and quads are in play.
→ The board itself is already a full house: 2s full of 3s.

---

Now let’s evaluate what each player can make with 2 of their hole cards + 3 from the board.

---

Player A: A♠ 4♠ 5♠ K♠

Possible hands:

• Best they can do is use A♠ K♠ (highest cards).

• Combine with board: 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ + A♠ K♠ → Three 2s, ace and king kicker

✅ Hand: Three of a kind (222AK) — not enough.

---

Player B: 3♥ 5♥ 5♣ 5♦

Try using 3♥ and 5♦:

• Board: 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ + 3♥ + 3♣ = Full House (2s full of 3s)

Alternative: Use 5♣ and 5♦

• That’s two fives + 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ → just a set of 2s + 5s, worse

✅ Best hand: Full House – 2s full of 3s (22233)

---

Player C: 8♥ 8♦ Q♠ 7♥

Only pairs, no 2s or 3s.

Best they can do:

• Use 8♥ and 8♦ → with 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ → Full House (2s full of 8s)

✅ Hand: 2s full of 8s (88822)

That beats 2s full of 3s!

---

Player D: 3♦ 7♦ 7♣ A♦

Try using 3♦ and 7♦:

• With 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ → 222 + 3♦ + 3♣ → Full House (2s full of 3s)

Try 7♦ and 7♣:

• Doesn’t beat 2s full of 8s

✅ Best hand: 2s full of 3s (same as Player B)

---

🏆 Final Hands Recap:

• Player A: 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ A♠ K♠ → Trips (222AK) ❌

• Player B: 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ 3♣ 3♥ → Full House (2s full of 3s) ❌

• Player C: 8♥ 8♦ + 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ → Full House (2s full of 8s) ✅

• Player D: 3♦ 3♣ + 2♠ 2♣ 2♥ → Full House (2s full of 3s) ❌

---

✅ Winner: Player C with Full House (2s full of 8s)
