Omaha "What's the Nuts?" (reverse) Riddle

[SoSpacey]

If you are holding...

9h 3h 3s 3c

What 3 boards will give you the river nuts?

When I was asked this question, my response was, "This is a trick question, I would never be in this hand to begin with." That didn't fly.

[SoSpacey]

There are 3 possible boards that give this hand the nuts. I got 2 of them right away and am blanking on #3.

Here are the 2 I got...

#1 (The EASY One)

999 with any 2 cards 10 or greater not paired

#2 (The moderate one)

a heart royal flush on the board giving you a 9 high flush

#3 (also kinda easy?)
32222

#1 (The EASY One)

999 with any 2 cards not paired
By the way, it can't be ANY 2 cards not paired.
999 Js Qs won't work since someone can have Ts Ks to get straight flush. It needs to be 999 with any 2 cards that can't make a straight flush.

These hands are both wrong because you have to have two cards in your hand play- HAVE TO! are 9 3 3 3, then only your 9 plays and your hand is disqualified

with a heart royal flush on the board, none of your cards play

So with 999 J A and your cards

You misunderstand the rules of Omaha.

If the board is 99942, and you hold 9333, your five-card hand is 99993 (93 from your hand, 999 from the board).

If the board is AhKhQhJhTh, and you hold 9h3h3x3x, your five-card hand is AhKhQh9h3h (93 from your hand, AKQ from the board).

When I was asked this question, my response was, "This is a trick question, I would never be in this hand to begin with." That didn't fly.

Without looking at other responses:

1) Ah Kh Qh Jh Th (nuts would then be Ah Kh Qh 9h 3h)
2) 3d 2d 2h 2c 2s (nuts would then be 33322)
3) 9c 9s 9d x y, where x and y are unpaired if > 9, paired < 9 is ok, and x & y don't put a straight flush possibility out (nuts would then be quad 9s)

what omaha tables do you currently play on online? I'd like to come find you. :)

besides being wrong, i think you actually contradicted yourself. you can't "disqualify" yourself.

1) Ah Kh Qh Jh Th (nuts would then be Ah Kh Qh 9h 3h)
2) 3d 2d 2h 2c 2s (nuts would then be 33322)
3) 9c 9s 9d x y, where x and y are unpaired if > 9, paired < 9 is ok, and x & y don't put a straight flush possibility out (nuts would then be quad 9s)

correct, but you know that by now. i brain farted on (your) #2. i was hoping you would have spoiler tagged, but i should have asked.

i will set him up with a new pokerstars account and give him a 20% bonus if he plays at my table only.

sorry i just assumed that when there were already 9 replies in this thread, that the solutions were already figured out

[Jeremy517]

I want to know what LostInNYC thinks will happen to the pot in his game when the board comes A:heart:K:heart:Q:heart:J:heart:T:heart: and every single person in the hand is "disqualified".

I also want to be the first person to use the new emoticons somewhere other than in the thread discussing them.
