Rule 5. Seating Arrangement

5.1 Undernet Poker Seat #1 is a plain bench, formerly used as a piano at a Quaker church. Turning it over reveals a scratched message which says... "i praise u on knee mr pbot to help me in church. 2 bz to wait for jesus =PPPPPPP". Seat #1 is best known for being the chair from which Burg saw a 2000 raise with King-High, only to lose to Phod's Ace-High

5.2 Undernet Poker Seat #2 is a 30 year-old Electric Chair used to execute death row inmates. Through its fabled history, this chair was used to execute ichiban and stats. stats is still alive, however, but this may begin to explain why stats is so weird. Seat #2's claim to fame is when roger was inadvertantly blindfolded and unable to see the 50,000 bet he was calling, which enabled pothead to reach 100,000 and be victorious in Reset #4.

5.3 Undernet Poker Seat #3 is a saddle with a courderoy cover sitting across two sawhorses. It is the original saddle that Lyverbe used when he ventured into the Undernet and found a new channel. Over 75% of the glossary terms have originated from Seat #3. Seat #3 also has the distinction of being the seat where kul typed the infamous, historical, and ground-breaking letter.. "N".

5.4 Undernet Poker Seat #4 is a futuristic recliner taken from the year 2654. It has a cup holder for your warm beer or kool-aid and a handy pull out tray for your cheez-whiz and weiners. If you are getting bored playing Undernet Poker or you are suffering from an intense losing streak, you can just flip Seat #4's CyberFun Jack-In Switch which will transport you to a world of fun and excitement. However, there are no cheez-whiz and weiners in this world. Seat #4 was home to geirel's 200th bank and CaptAdv's first use of the phrase "Buh buy nooooooo!"

5.5 Undernet Poker Seat #5 was salvaged from US Air Flight 202 that collided with a mountain in Chile during a storm in 1984. It so happens that the person sitting in that seat at the time of the crash was at the time developing a bot which ran much better than the current PBot. No indictments were brought, but one of Lyverbe's hairs was found at the crash site. Seat #5 has seen the highest concentration of people saying things that make no sense.

5.6 Undernet Poker Seat #6 is a Mayan clay Ritual Chair used in the Tenth century. It has two eternally burning candles sitting in its armrest and many Mayan inscriptions on the back. It is believed the Mayans used this chair to speak with their most revered of Gods, "Boney-Bo", the Mayan God of Luck. It should be noted that Seat #6 is best known for the most number of times being screwed by a discard 4 draw.

6.1 A Pair

a) A pair tastes better than an apple, but some say it doesn't have the same nutritional value.
b) A pair of Aces is pretty good.
c) Don't bet 22 with a pair of 2's. You might give away your hand.
d) The best pair to have is Queens, because two Queens can lead to Mutants if you are fortunate. (See below).
e) Some say that a pair of 5's has some mystical value. Next time you have a pair of 5's, trying farming it. Who knows.
f) After exercising, my pair of pants were stinky.
g) When the bet is 50 or under, if you fold holding a pair.. boy.. are you cheap.
h) A pair of 8's are called snowmen. It has something to do with a carrot, but I have forgotten what it is.
i) A pair of 7's sorta look like upside down L's.

6.2 Two pair

a) Two pair is better than one pair. Unless you are talking about tumors, strange warts, or in-laws.
b) If you have two pairs of the same card (for example, you hold four Kings), this is NOT two pair. (and I repeat) This is NOT two pair.
c) Discarding one at the discard is a dead give-away for holding two pair. (Of course unless you are hiding trips, have quad, going for a flush, going for a straight, going for a straight flush, holding a Queen, a 3, a 7, and a 9, bluffing two pair, going for two pair by holding two kickers, just being wiggy, or pulling a KKat but instead discarding 1 instead of 0.)
d) Two pair, Aces and Eights, is called the Dead Man's Hand. It has something to do with foot odor, but I have forgotten what.
e) If you are holding a pair and decide to hold a kicker at the discard, shout out "YYYIIIKKAE" for good luck.
f) If you hold two pair, a good opening bet is 2091. Cause hey, you got two pair.
g) PBot's favorite two pair is two's and three's. PBot likes babies. (Dont's hurt the babies)

6.3 Trips

a) It is always good for the Undernet Poker soul to take a few trips outside to remember that there is a Sun.
b) Three Queens is called "Mutants". It is rumored that this is actually the highest hand in the game. If you have Mutants, bet like there is no tomorrow because rumors are sometimes right.
c) Discarding 1 holding trips is kinda fun, because people will think you are holding Quad.
d) Trips stands for Triple or three-of-a-kind. This means you have to bet a three digit number. Try 251.
e) When you see the phrase "-PBot- Needing to discard cards: SkulKillr", this means PBot is signalling you to discard. Maybe you'll get trips.
f) Three 8's is called a really fat snowman.
g) Never call a bet above 98881 with trips. Because, that is a large number.

6.4 Straight

a) Go straight to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect 200 dollars.
b) A straight is when your cards numbers go in a straight line. If you lined then up on a wall that is. Try that.
c) A 4-high straight won't win you many games. So if you happen to get it, you might as well fold. Mumble something funny when you do, people will think you are wacky. Try "ganja".
d) If you are holding: Two Three Four Five Five.. Keep the pair of fives, cause those pair of fives have the mystical property. And if the first card you draw is a Six or an Ace, blame Gonz2.
e) Discarding 2 and pulling a straight is really exciting. Try betting 60000 after you get it. It won't give away what you just got.
f) An Ace-High straight is the highest possible straight. That is of course unless you are playing with an Aceless deck.
g) PBot deals a straight to Seat #3 on Game #'s whose digits added up equal 83. Be ready for it.

6.5 Flush

a) The person who forgot the CHIP-CLIP also forgot to flush the toilet. Thanks a bunch.
b) Winning with a flush is one of the most exciting wins in Undernet Poker. Try shouting "Hey, I beat you with my flush, dork! Neener Neener! Eat my flush for lunch, buddy!" to your opponent. He'll be happy that you are so excited.
c) PBot will never fill a flush when other players are holding trips. I think it is a bug. Someone tell Cirra.
d) Discarding 2 and getting a flush is for wussies. If you do it, fold. But tell everyone what you had cause they'll like you for it.
e) If you are dealt a flush, trying betting 3201. If someone stays in, discard 1. If you get a flush again, you will for sure win. Cause no one can beat two flushes.
f) The CHIP-CLIP was flushed down the toilet (working theory).
g) If you have a flush, but lose to a higher and more elegant flush, trying shutting off your computer (use the ON/OFF switch in the back). Sometimes PBot will feel sorry for you and reverse his decision. PBot can be a nice guy.
h) Holding a flush in either diamonds or hearts is a for sure winner. Red is a pretty color.

6.6 Full House

a) Anyone ever watch the TV show "Full House"? Boy, what crap that is.
b) A Full House is also called "a boat". This is because the first person who got a Full House got it while travelling on a boat. His name was Henry. Henry Full House.
c) Sometimes it is fun to seperate your full house into three-of-a-kind and a pair. That way, you can see how many people you can humiliate by saying, "Look, all I need was this pair of 10's to beat you! Haha!" or "Look, I had trips, too! Big fat snowmen!"
d) An Ace Ace Ace King King full house is called a Titanic. A Two Two Two Three Three full house is called a Dinghy. A Seven Seven Seven Jack Jack full house is called a Boomerrang. A Four Four Jack King Ace full house is called a pair.
e) If you get a full house and win some monies, thank PBot. He dealt the cards and maybe you should tip him also. PBot likes 10000 increments.
f) You are more likely to get a full house after discarding 1 with two pair than you are discarding 4 with two pair.
g) If you are dealt a full house, opening with a bet of 2 is a good way to win a 62 pot.
h) If you are dealt a full house, be sure not to give it away by shouting "I've got a full house! Holy cripes!". Still shout, but shout something else. Try "I've got 7-high! Really, I do! I don't have a full house! Please stay in, I'll only bet 1000. 7-high! Really!" This works everytime. (Note: This method doesn't work with a Titanic full house)

6.7 Quad

a) Quad rhymes with Phod
b) If you get Quad on the deal, just switch off your computer, get in your car, drive to the nearest bar, and have one on the house. You deserve it.
c) Getting dealt Quad: Probability of winning a pot more than 1000: 5605 to 1. Probability of winning a pot of 100 or less: 2 to 1.
d) If you are dealt Quad, consider discarding 3 cards and keeping a pair, cause hey.. you'll still have a pair.
e) PBot has been known to give Quads to the first person who types "/notice #poker Gimme dem Quad thingers".
f) To prevent giving away your stellar Quad hand, try betting a five digit number. Your opponent will think you went loopy.
g) Four 8's is a snowman with a severe weight problem. Contact health officials immediately.

d) An Ace-High Straight Flush is called a "Royal Flush". A Nine-High Straight Flush is called a "Serf Flush". A Five-High Straight Flush is called "Loser Flush".
e) PBot deals a straight flush once every 56,231 hands. That equates to irreversible butt damage if you sit there for all 56,231 hands to witness two straight flushes.
