How Great Poker-P1ayers Disagree

TO tie Editor Of The ~ Y. Tribune:
SIR: Professor Bob Schenck in his little
treatise on our national game of Draw-po-
s S aasd paois 9Se eth bsa
in the decreasing scale of relative values
of the nine grades of hands. He says:
MANY experts rate threes' in relative
value above sequence, but the opinion
(of Prof. Schenck p is that sequence
should rank first, as being in itself one OF
the complete hands."
This is no reason at all, for our great
national game of draw poker is game of
combinations resulting from chance and,
the fewer the number Of combinations in
the pack, the higher the relative value of
the hand Now, in our pack of fifty-two
| playing cards, there are fifty-two combina-
tons only of ''threes," and at least one
hundred of ''straights." Hence, ''threes'
should beat 'ssraights." There is no get
ting over this mathematical fact, and this
is the way the game has always been played
on the Mississippi river from its. inception
there, many years ago.
And when you play "threes' to beat
''straights," call by 'threes' of a"pat'
hand is frequently successful, as the chan
ces are one in three of beating it. To illus
trate: A. B, G, p, and E are playing
jdraw- poker. A deals. B''antes' five cents
C passes" or goes out. d goes in by put
ting up ten cents. E likewise goes in thu
ten cents, but raises" the ''ante" z;
cents The dealer passes, B passes,
D ''sees" the raise by putting up % cent
more, and, having three tens, draws tw,
cards, but does not better his hand l
stands pat" that is, does not draw an,
cards, and the probabilities are, has eithe
full, flush, or straight" Now
if "straigbts" beat 'threes, there's no US
of DIS calling E; but if 'threes'' bea
''straights," D calls. taking the chance
of Els pat hand being a straight
''Straights," being legitimate combina
tion-as much so as flush should al
ways be played to beat two pairs.
Il And "straight-fush' should likewis
always be played to prevent an invincibl
: hand. 10. PoPp. of Arkansas.
