Marvin is familiar with all poker rules, he can't guess the cards in hands of his opponents and his only desire is to win. The dealer deals him his five cards. Marvin looks at his hand to see a straight flush. After a round of betting, he specifies one card he wishes to replace and takes another one from the dealer.     If I tell you that nothing unusual happened, can you explain his decision for the new card?   IP Logged gotit Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 804 Re: Lady Luck   « Reply #1 on: Oct 17th, 2012, 11:01pm » Quote Modify Marvin placed a bet with one of his friends, saying that if he got a straight flush, he would pay him double the amount that he would win.

The intended answer is more along the lines of Grimbal’s answer.
