6th Street Omaha Rising Star Badge

How wonderful!  I am sure it was a thrilling experience for you both.  I remember when my daughter was born, pink as gum and how I felt when I first looked into those little blueberry eyes of hers.  I was instantly in awe of her.  She's 23 now and staring at me, wanting me to make her lunch.  Gee Christine Jeanette, didn't you eat just yesterday?  She said to me the other day, "I have a feeling that if I were a gerbil you would have devoured me at birth."  She giggled as she ran to her bedroom, which is 5 times the size of mine.  Yep yep children are great.

Well I watched my friend get the Royal Lush Badge, and the four aces badge within about three hands of each other.

I guess I'm not that lucky.

I know that this post is only a joke since it is impossible to get both 4 Aces (King of the Table) and a Royal Flush (Rising Star) in the same hand since a Royal Flush trumps 4 aces and poker only allows the highest hand to win. Besides, there is NO combination of hole cards and drawn cards that allows for both hands simultaneously. Nice try though... O0

That would be true, if you had the 2 badges correct.. but the Rising Star badge is not for the Royal Flush, the badge for that is the Royal Lush. The Rising Star is for being dealt 4 hole cards of the same rank. So, since the King of the Table badge is for getting 4 aces.. it is entirely possible, however unlikely, to be dealt 4 aces at the start, and hence get the badge for the 4 aces, as well as the 4 hole cards of the same rank, at the same time.

If you got the 4 aces badge you would have to have 2 aces in your hand and 2 on the table, and if you have 2 on the table then you couldn't have 4 in your hand.   Unless there is a trick that I don't know about.

Since the King of the table counts two cards from the hole, it is impossible to have 4 of a kind in the hole and then re-use two of them for another 4 of a kind. That would require at least six cards of the same rank in the deck.

Whoever posted that was lying to us.

OK, my bad.. I read the posts, and saw the one mistake of mis-identifying the Rising Star badge as the one for the Royal Flush, so then it got in my head that the whole thing was wrong and that it was possible to get 2 at once. I had forgotten that it was the Omaha game, and they only use 2 hole cards plus 3 from the table. Hey, it was almost 3am when I was going thru all that, so I can chalk some of it up to late night brain fry, right? And it was my first post after just joining here as well. Heck, there's so many poker games now it's hard to keep track which is which and which badges go where. Anyway.. thanks for correcting my mistake on my correction of the previous mistake.. I don't know if the original person who posted they got 2 on their first hand was deliberately lying or not, maybe it just seemed that way if they had gotten them both very quickly after just starting the game.. although I tend to think that is highly unlikely as well.

Yay! I got the Rising Star Badge tonight. I finally got it and only took 6,976 hands.  ::)

Well done! That's my second favorite badge next to Master pinochle. Very nice accomplishment. I'm still working on the aces and flush badge myself.
