How are Full Boats Named in Poker?

Full Boats (or ‘full houses’) are named using the system X’s full of Y’s where X is the three of a kind component and Y is the pair component. For example, the full house KKKQQ is referred to as ‘Kings full of Queens’ while the full house QQQKK is referred to as ‘Queens full of Kings’.

How Are Boats Ranked In Poker?

The three of a kind component of the full house is always consulted first. 88877 (Eights full of Sevens) beats AA222 (Deuces full of Aces) because the three of a kind component is stronger. Assuming two players hold the same three of a kind component, then the pair is consulted. For example, 88877 loses to 888KK. If the pair component is also the same, then the full houses tie since full houses do not use any kickers.

How Strong is My Full Boat in Hold’em?

Full boats (or ‘full houses’) are nearly always very strong hands in Hold’em, but there are some exceptions. The best full houses in Hold’em are always formed using both hole-cards. Full houses formed using just one hole-card are a lot more likely to be dominated especially if they are connected with the lower pair on the board. E.g. be careful with 7x holdings on the 7788x board since our opponent only needs have an eight in the hole in order to beat us.

Why Are Full Houses Called Boats in Poker?

No-one knows for certain, but the most prevalent theory is that river boat gamblers decided to re-appropriate the name from ‘full house’ to ‘full boat’ since the game was very often played on boats.

GGPoker ist ein 2017 gegründeter Onlinepokerraum mit Sitz auf der Isle of Man in der Irischen See. Die GG International Limited wurde im April 2017 gegründet. Aufwind erfuhr der Onlinepokerraum vor allem ab 2019, als mit Daniel Negreanu einer der populärsten und besten Pokerspieler als Markenbotschafter verpflichtet wurde. 2020 folgten mit Bertrand „ElkY“ Grospellier, Fedor Holz und Dan Bilzerian namhafte Testimonials, die die Spielerzahl auf der Seite weiter wachsen ließen. Aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie gab es 2020 die erste Austragung der World Series of Poker Online, bei der 54 Bracelets bei GGPoker ausgespielt wurden. Im Zuge dieser Turnierserie stellte der Pokerraum beim Main Event mit einem Preispool von über 27,5 Millionen US-Dollar einen neuen Weltrekord für das größte Online-Pokerturnier auf, den er bis heute hält.[1] Auf dem Onlinepokerraum kann man Cash Game und Turniere in verschiedenen Varianten spielen, wobei der Buy-in von Centbeträgen bis zu fünfstelligen Beträgen reicht. Darüber hinaus gibt es die Formate „Spin & Gold“, bei dem 3 oder 6 Spieler in einem Sit and Go um einen zufälligen Preispool spielen,[2] „All-In or Fold“, bei dem alle Spieler in jeder Hand entweder alle ihre Chips setzen oder passen müssen,[3] sowie „Flip & Go“, bei dem in der ersten Hand alle Turnierspieler All-in sind und anschließend sofort die Preisgeldränge erreicht werden.[4] Seit Juni 2021 gibt es mit dem Battle Royale eine Sit-and-Go-Variante, bei dem 30 Spieler in einem Bounty-Format gegeneinander antreten.[5] Zu den großen Turnierserien bei GGPoker zählen die World Series of Poker Online, die Super Circuit Online Series sowie das GG Spring Festival, bei denen Preisgelder in dreistelliger Millionenhöhe garantiert werden.[6][7] Zudem gibt es wöchentlich das Super Million$, ein Event in No Limit Hold’em mit 10.300 US-Dollar Buy-in.[8]
