169 Ranked Texas Hold’em Hands

169 Ranked Two Card Hold’em Hands

In Texas Hold’em there are exactly 1326 different ways you can be dealt any two cards in the deck. Considering the Jack of hearts and the 2 of diamonds (Jh2d) is same hand as the Jack of diamonds and 2 of hearts (Jd2h) then there are 169 possible combinations of hands.

The hand table below list all 169 combinations, hand ranking, and percent to win against a table of 9. On the web you’ll see a variation of hand rankings. Some sites and pros rank AK higher than pocket tens and vise versa. The list below is most likely outdated but I still use it for a reference. In the future I’ll try to feed in the hand combinations into PokerStove and see what kind of rankings they have. Also, any additions, comments, mistakes, or updates please email me.

“Camping” – Strategic Warfare or Bad Gaming

Here I am playing BackLot hardcore team death match on COD4. I post up in the 2-story with the .50 caliber. I set my claymores and begin sniping the other team as they crossed in front of me.

 

An enemy player (let’s call him SirDieAlot) comes running up stairs to meet a timely demise with my claymore. I reset another one. SirDieAlot comes running up the stairs again and repeats his earlier fate.

 

I take his gun and the 3rd time he comes up stairs I shoot him with it. I move to downstairs and when he comes crawling through the window I shoot him again. This repeat behavior went on until I got my heli.

 

Then I get a message from SirDieAlot:

 

“You fucking camper”

 

A similar incident happened a day or two earlier where I got a nasty little email calling me a “Bitch Camper”.

 

Maybe I’m missing something. History tells us when the military would hold down a location it was called a strategic advantage.

 

I know this isn’t a real world military simulation it’s a video game. Yet, if an individual or a group of people could statically lock down a room or a portion of the map in COD4 then I’d call them pretty dam good tacticians.

 

Using the word “Camper” in a derogatory term is a plain stupid. I have no clue when it became demeaning or why. If you and your team cannot break a defense mechanism that the opposite team has devised there is not need to cry about it.

 

Use your head and try to find a way around it. I’ve encountered this method on numerous maps. Vacant stands out as there are only a few entrances to the office room. I have my room busting builds in reserve just in case someone pulls that tactic.

 

I honestly think the folks who bitch about “Camping” are the run-and-gun folks who are used to Quake & Halo. That mind set is if you’re not out on the map running circles around each other and jumping like rabbits then pretty much you have no game.

 

My opinion only.  I’ll keep “Camping” until you can come and keep me out of my spot.

To tube or not to tube… that is the question.

Ok, I gotta vent a little bit. This might have already been covered. If so just ignore it.

 

I got hooked on COD4 when my oldest son bought it. Needless to say he owned me from the get-go. I sucked….which is a HUGE under statement.

 

When he bought the game, I bought him xbox live and created the SpinalTrauma id. He played online for a little bit then moved on.

 

I started playing it online and loved it. However, for months on end my kill-to-death ratio was like .40   Normal score for me was around 2-10 or so. Just terrible. All my friends who played seemed to make a big deal out of this kill-to-death ratio to.  I just figured as I got better it would go up.

 

I like the death matches the most and then found my home in hardcore death matches. Through a lot of persistence I got my kill-to-death ratio up to 1.16 or around there.  I got another Xbox live account and started my own id which is BloodLossTrauma. My k2d ratio is around 1.20

 

I play the hardcore matches because I just didn’t like shooting a guy 6 times on regular mode and him not dying. Didn’t seem too realistic (like I’d know what realistic was).

 

I have developed certain play builds for specific maps. I snipe on ambush, use a stealth build with UAV jammer and silencers on overgrown.

 

And I double noob-tube starting out on bog, wetworks, and showdown.

 

Now, is tubing wrong? Seems I get railed on quite a bit for doing it. Somewhere down the line in the online world of COD4 it was deemed ok to:

 

  1. Hide in the bushes and snipe someone across the screen.
  2. Chunk random grenades an kill people on countdown and wetworks
  3. Spawn kill
  4. Camp
  5. Set claymores (like that takes any type of a skill what so ever).

 

Yet, if you break out the noob-tube you get railed on. Why?

 

I guess why I’m pissed is that my other son plays on my account from time to time. He uses my builds and strategies. However, he favors the use of the heavy machine gun.

 

While he was playing yesterday he was invited to a clan try out. He joined and was playing Bog and started off noob-tubing. He immediately got a message saying he wasn’t’ going to be allowed in the clan because he uses a noob-tube.

 

So far from my own experiences it seems that if I’m on the winning team and noob-tubing that only the losing team complains.

 

I’ve tried to listen to arguments against the use of the tube and I have yet to hear anything that suggests its use is wrong. 

 

COD4 is a strategy game. I used the tools provided in the GAME to give me what ever edge that is needed to win.

 

One of the biggest complaints I hear on a daily basis is CAMPING. I don’t ever complain about the other team camping because it’s a strategy that works. It’s called Modern Warfare not the Civil War. We don’t march in single lines down the field any more to get shot. Plus, we all camp from time to time.

 

I’ve just developed techniques to get around campers. You want to camp out in back room in Vacant. Go ahead, I’ll get in there with noob-tube build.  Works for me.

 

I was playing a game on CountDown about a month ago where the kill leader on the other team was using a G3 with a moded controller. I joined in late and we were really way behind so I started tubing. In the end we won.. my score was around 24-5 and the kill leader on the other team was just about the same.

 

In the lobby he launched in to a tirade that all his kills were with a G3 and mine was with the noob-tube.  That I need my balls cut off .. etc..etc..etc..

 

Bottom line was he lost. When I play and lose I lose. I don’t complain about someone camping or shooting me with a deagle, g3, g36, rpg or just plain ol’ knifing me.

 

IT’S A GAME! If Infinity Ward deemed tubes gave an unfair advantage they would have patched it.

 

If someone wants to argue that it’s the skill factor then that’s a mute point. Setting claymores take no skill, throwing grenades rank about .05 on the skill factor (yes throwing them sometimes takes skill). As for the tube, I can hit a sniper set up on the far end of District before he can take me out. So, there is some skill involved on aiming it.

 

So for the folks who ‘think’ they are too good or skillful for the tube .. no one is forcing you to use it. Complaining about others who use just shows you don’t know how to strategy and use a counter offensive against those who do.

 

For us folks who know how to use it… we are force to be reckoned with.  

 

As for the clan who frowns upon noob-tubes… your loss.

Call of Duty 4 – Part 3 PKs

With the good there is the bad. PKs (player killers) are a bane to the online world. It never fails, that one out of three COD4 games you enter will have a player killer on it. He/She will do there best to kill you while you are trying to kill the enemy.

I was first introduced to PKers when I was playing Ultima Online.  I stared playing Ultima a few years after it was out and had no clue about online play. Seems the goal was to make money and then try to move up, buy a house, etc.

One of my first tasks was to escort a NPC (computer player) to another town. I protected this NPC with my life. I warded off bears, wolves, and the such with my trusty bow and arrow.

As we made it to just outside the town gate another online player comes out of the bushes and kills my NPC. I fail at my quest and most importantly I could do nothing about this. The shard (world in Ultima) I was on wouldn’t allow me to attack this fiend or him to attack me. Yet everything else was free game.

Eventually, Ultima opened up a PK shard so you could fight each other. However, I lost my interest in the game.

I started playing Diablo II and they fixed up a system where you had to declare your hostilities toward another player before you can attack them. You could only do this in town. This gave the other player time to exit the game before he was killed.

However, Call of Duty 4 brought the whole PKer issue into a new light for me. I played COD4 online for a while before I ran into my first PKer. I was fascinated by the game because two teams of six would try to dominate the opposing team. Our team spawns and take off to our strategic destinations and *BOOM*!

Seems a PKer in our rank decided to RPG (rocket propelled grenade) the whole team from behind.

We’ve all been there … 6 kill streak about to get our heli when a PKer hits you with C4.

Granted, there are modes in the game where friendly fire will not hurt you. However, I like the hardcore game mode because it’s seems more realistic (like I know real warfare).

The under lying question is why do PKers exist?

Why kill your team? Why not quit and join a different game or play cage match?

I have been involved in my own PK episode too. However, it hasn’t been against a whole team.

My PK experience was simple… I dominated a moron on the BOG map with my noobtube (that is another article in itself). At the menu before the next game started he was talking a lot of shit to me. I talked back of course. However, he started on my team and when we spawned he killed me. Then we took turns through the whole game killing each other.

The other times I did my share of PKing was when I would spot a member on our team killing our people. Then, I’d take him out.

However, I must say 99% of the pking is done at random by senseless morons. The only ‘reasoning’ I can place behind this thinking is they are tired of the game.

Some people when they grow bored of game will do and try just about anything in the game itself before they quit playing it.  I’m not sure this why they do it…but it’s the only rational reason I can think of.

One other possibility might be some type of deep underlying psychosis in real life that they try to migrate to their online persona. Who knows for sure? At least Infinity Ward has a slight punishment for PKing. Your spawn time grows longer each time you do it. To me, if you reach -25 in score which is equivalent to killing 2.5 people then you should be booted from the round.

But that’s just me.
