Odometer Poker
 

OK, everybody's played dollar bill poker, where you use the serial number on a bill to make a poker hand. Same thing. Almost everyone now has a car that has a seven digit odometer. Take those seven digits, and build a five card poker hand.

For example: Your odometer reads 157,556.5 miles, you have four fives. 144,449.4 miles, and you have five fours. 259,299.1, you have a full house, 9's over 2's. For the purposes of this contest, five zeros would beat four nines. Of course, there are no face cards, aces, or jokers. Nothing wild. We're playing stud, cuz, that's how I roll.

You have until Sunday, Nov. 7 at 11:59:59pm to post a picture of your odometer poker hand (a pic of your odometer). Maybe this will keep someone from building a ringer hand.

The winner will have the privilege of saying "Yay, I won!"


ETA: In the unlikely event of an unbreakable tie, the Dwellar with the best cleavage wins.

ok mine is at 99,999 :)

if i take a new demo this week and it has 00007 on it, i'm going to win?

A progressive person might go for a drive of 1 more mile

And tonight are you going to party?

noooo of course not. I'm going to do my part in saving the environment ;)

Luckily, might odometer keeps mileage alphabetically. Right now I'm at AAAAA :biggrin:

My odometer only 'deals' me six numbers.

You only need five...seven is just the number of cards. You just won't have as many cards to choose from.

Also, if you have a bike, motorcycle, four-wheeler or anything else with an odometer (of at least five digits), that'll work also.

Anyone cheats, and I will fart in your exact direction.

If no one has 00007.0, cuz, 5 is more than 4. No, really.

I'm in.

Four of a kind.

Can we bluff? How does that work? Cause I've got a 7 card straight.

I don't know how you'd bluff in this case.

And those 7's look pretty strong...


ETA: No use posting if you can't beat four sevens.

I don't understand this at all.
And the only poker I know how to play is Strip Poker, which is effectively Pontoon anyway. And the only real rule is to pretend you are embarrassed and don't want to take your clothes off so the man you are playing with thinks he is getting away with something, when really you're after the same thing.

BUT.
I will take a photo of Dad's mileage.
And as I am completely clueless you'll have to tell me if I should get him to drive around a bit more.
Because you're so clever and I'm so silly and I really don't want to lose at this you know (innocent look, removing socks)

You can strip. In fact, please do.

Just remember to take pictures of your hand...and anything else you uncover!

:p:

Thanks for that Gravdigr. Like Sundae Girl I don't have much idea about poker so perhaps someone will help me here - I think I have a 'straight' and since I've decided they're all hearts that would be a 'straight flush'?.

4-5-6-7-8

Shit - I'm gonna have to hope I drive into a good hand...

You guys got your "game on" so far!

Well, we don't got no suits, so a straight it is. Good hand, but, four sevens have it so far.

Yeah, same here. It was my idea, so I should've waited for a ringer hand, before posting. I don't think I can even drive to a better hand than four sevens.:yelsick:

I fold. I got nothing.

Well, I got squat in a contest that was my own damn idea. I had a straight, but then BigV came along with those damnable sevens.

BigV you are the wiener. Congrats.:mad:

IT was actually kinda cool - I looked at my odometer more than usual to see what was possible coming up.

Aw, thanks man. No need to be mad though--all the girls say the same thing to me.

I'd say for the sake of the game, since we don't have suits, that a straight flush would have to be 5 consecutive numbers. e.g 23456 would be a straight flush, and 32645 would be an ordinary straight. It wouldn't work for regular straight though, I guess that's still out.

here we go - it was a bitch takin a pic with my phone .......

Twos.

That might work.

Odometer Poker 2011
 

Boat.

so are 0's high or low? is it 10's? so you have 5's full of 10's or 5's full of 0's?

What about co-opting the rules from Yahtzee? They have straights and such and no suits too.

....


I vote tens. There are no zeros in poker.

Well, I suppose you didn't specify which year...

We started disregarding the deadlines months ago, so, I took the liberty.

I was also running out of pics to post.

BTW, I think zeros should be Aces.

But, then again, I'm Sheening ATM.

Sheening?

does that mean you're doing enough coke to kill a grizzly bear?

Maybe not enough to kill one, but enough to fuck one. [/kidding]


ETA: Shoulda said WINNING!!, perhaps.

Makes me think, what fun would doing coke be during the day?

I'm already up, and would be, coke or no.

Are we talking Coke or Cocaine. Cause they are really different.

they weren't back in the day!! :D

I like the page that I have it linked too - look halfway down, it talks about the genetic code of the blood. It's under the "downsides of banking cord blood". My doctor mentioned that part to me and I looked into it - it was my deciding factor not to.

I'm guessing this one really is banned :lol:

wtf?? what does genetic code have to do with odometer poker? me thinks youz be right monie!

Hardly anyone banks cord blood. Just a few a year where I work. About the same number that have their heads cryogenically frozen.

Just beastly!

:eek:

Beats my twos!

.

did you crash while taking that?

I pulled over. The top row I saw coming, the bottom row was just pure dumb luck. I had purchased gas 11.1 miles earlier and reset the trip meter.

You should have got the spedometer up to 111 as well!

(OK, maybe just 11.)

that's friggin spooky, glatt.


I thought I had posted these.... Taken in a friend's wrangler this summer. we had swapped cars so I could sell him my trailer, and this happened on the way back:

Two days ago, Momdigr's odo read 139,999.9, and I didn't have my camera.

Grav: check your PM

I did. Nothing there.

Sorry, Grav.

I was running around the threads being a smartass. There really isn't a PM. :lol:

p.s. where ya been? Noticeably absent!

1. Heh, 'salright.

2. Long story. Maybe later.

I hope everything is ok. :)

I missed 101010 1.0 unfortunately.

nice!

It's more about the patterns than it is about a high poker hand.
