Guess The Hand 2016

What is SHE Holding? If you think you know, then have a go at our Guess the Hand community promotion.

How?

Starting today and ending on the 12th, we will be posting three hands a week, each in their own dedicated thread:

For each hand you get right, you can be awarded 2 points:
1 point for the correct answer
1 point for the correct explanation

The one with the most points wins! If there is a draw at the end, a raffle will be held to determine the winners. The deadline for guessing is the 14th of March.

To be won

• 1st Place: $50 TaF
• 2nd Place: Status Upgrade (for one month)
• 3rd Place: Status Upgrade (for one month)

Results will be published Monday the 14th March

Good luck!

If this ends up being some retarded promotion to be like "look, women can bluff too!" then I swear..."

Hey NothingIsForSho,

this promotion is mainly about being able to figure out hero's hand (elements of analytical thinking, knowledge of probabilities, or great intuition) :) The girls are there to make the whole guessing a tiny bit more enjoyable.

And in fact, I'd risk a statement that women are better at bluffing than men. Generally speaking ;)
#ididntsaythat

Cheers.

okay but i've seen some hand reviews before where it's like "let's guess hero's (me) hand" and then "tada... i made a sick bluff look at me, wasn't my play great"

Hi admins!
I was thinking, shouldn't you give a point for a perfect explanation with a partially correct answer? You know, sometimes multiple hands can make equal sense.

Not many guessed Tilley's hand correctly because no one gave credit to the chance that a posted hand could be so horribly misplayed :f_tongue:

The first pre-requisite is to have the hand correct. The extra point is specifically to reward users for sharing the thought process that they used to arrive at the correct hand and encourage users who would normally only post card values to share their thoughts.
