I saw that like "That's not a royal flush, you didn't lose."

Then I learned Straight Flush beats 4 of a kind.

I need to play more poker. X3

The only pattern that can beat the royal flush is a five of a kind, only obtained by a joker combined with four of the same number.

Whiiiich isn't a thing in poker...The jokers are removed.

No joker in poker, what a shame.

There are some variants with cards declared wild or the jokers left in.

So far as I am aware, they are not often played. I don't even know what they're called, I just remember reading about them in Hoyle's Rules of Cards when I was itty-bitty.

They are basically used in "fun" matches per say. Anything beyond a schoolyard will generally have the jokers removed. I have not heard of anything in casinos doing otherwise.

Plenty of serious games of 7-card stud (the main poker game before computer analysis and crappy hold-em became the big thing) use various kinds of wild.

You dont play jokers in poker :)

Hehe.. The phrase " No Joker in Poker" is now on my favorites list. XD

"I ain't playin' no joker poker" - Electric Six, 'Gridlock'

"Straight Flush" beats "Four of a Kind". You should've played your cards more carefully. The losing forfeit for you Star oughtta be doing Judo in diapers.

Oooooo.... I wonder what kinda "punishment" Star's gonna get for losing!! >:3

better luck next time

did you get my note

Ive played poker yep yep. At work. But quite a few years ago now

Hmmm time for kitty to learn beg if she wants to go to that party :P

Oh dear. Star will get the weekend, but end up in a humiliating manner I bet!

Thought only a royal flush beats 4 of a kind.

Depends on what type of poker you're playing, the way I've played Any flush will beat a 4 of a kind

Wound up looking it up just now, Royal flush, straight flush, then four of a kind. Thats a bummer

poor star lost on something so important, and with such a good hand

Wait, people actually play 5-card draw? o.O

ouch, a straight flush! tough luck Star.

I love this comic ^^ each update makes my day!

rematch?

OH SNAP poor star you just lost...lets hope she is nice and easy on you. though i got a feeling something embarrassing is coming your way soon

I saw this coming about two page back "she all her eggs in one basket and basket broke"

Rho: I have a feeling Star could use another drink, better luck next time kitty *chuckles*

Don't feel bad kitten we can't all win all the time ;)

I love stars face in the third Panel! Lol "ok guys we get it subject change please"

To be fair to Star ... loosing with four of a kind _is_ highly unlikely.
And I guess her face is all like:
http://youtu.be/1FtJvWSvTS0?t=47s

Yeah Thats why she was all cocky. Like "HUZZAH its gotta be pretty impossible to beat this hand" Then "WHAAAAAT?!?!!"

Uhuh ^^' Poor Star.

I think he cheated!

.... now I kinda wanna go to Furnal Equinox and play poker with ya.

Nope

Love that second-to-last panel. Looks really good.

oh what a turn around hehehe.

That was suprising. GO STAR GO!

Oooouch, that had to hurt

No D: the super bestest weekend ever D':!


x3 I'm sure something positive is to come out of this

*waves and hugs*

Hehe, silly kitten, always getting in over your head, hmm?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH FULL HOUSE!!!!!!!

That's a straight flush, the only hand that could beat it would be a royal flush. Those hands represent the second and third highest hands in poker. Royal Flush>Straight Flush>Four-of-a-Kind>Full House>Flush>Straight>Three-of-a-kind>two pair>one pair>high card. In this instance, a royal flush would not have been possible as Star had all 4 aces, but Shayu (is that right?) had the highest straight flush possible in this scenario, while Star also had the highest 4-of-a-kind possible. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just that the odds were astronomical. A similar situation came about during a friendly game of Cards Against Humanity. I had played the second-best card in the game which was immediately followed by my friend playing the best card in the game, a secret card for those who bought the Bigger Blacker Box.

NO...just no...I call shenanigans! Seriously, what are the odds of one person getting 4 aces only to be beaten by another with a straight flush? I just did some calculations, and I'm sure it's even higher than this, but based on the odds of getting both any straight flush and any four of a kind in the same hand, I came up with 1:254308236, that's 1 in a quarter of a billion. Either Star is just abysmally unlucky or someone's cheating.

I thought he was cheating too! He must really have something good for Star to have to do....

Zach is missing his red line in the first panel

But damn that flush gets em every time!!

I stare at the cards, I've never played poker in my life. The first thing that comes to mind is, "I wonder if those are tasty"

Yeah. You really pokered. But I guess he was better at pokering.

...I don't play very many card games...

I never played a poker game where a royal flush beats a 4 of a kind ace. ace four of a kind was always the highest to me.

I also never played a poker game where two people get the two highest hands possible. unless it was rigged.

well im sure we'll see some more spinoffs of arts before the next page.

yay is not strip poker woooooooooo stars safe with her secret anymore

well she isnt wearing diapers anyway so even if it was strip poker her secret would still be safe :)

oh i thought she was ^^; my bad

Tough luck Star! Beaten by a straight flush!

Real poker masters stand up to reveal their hands. I really do love that detail.

as a person who plays Poker quite often..looks like they are playing 5 card stud..Still, OUCH...

LAFFIN! Yep Thats exactly what they're playing. Have a cookie

yayy cookie..NOMS

Looks like she just got ROYALLY FLUSHED!

YEEEAAAHHH!!!

Royal flush ftw

But...But...The event ;.;

Do bad about not winning that hand. There will be other events. Manda and Luring seem the type to know about all of them.

Nice job on the card faces.

I think he cheated! He must really have a good punishment for you lined up....

Probably the only hand that could beat her!

what a beautiful charter. http://prntscr.com/ggx5i5 please notify the owner of this charter at once i said they were beautiful.

I'm sad now

Oh, that’s not good.

Girl's got the Straight Flush!
