Understand Poker Hand Rankings Better

To determine whether your hand is the best, or has room for improvement, it is important to understand the poker hand rankings in depth. If you need a reference, print this page or bookmark it.

Check out the Poker Hand Rankings below

High Card

Ad Jc Ts 7d 2d

In a hand without any play, the highest card counts to determine the winner. In this example, the highest card is the A.

A Pair

7s 7h Qc Js 3h

Two cards of the same value. If two players have a pair, the higher pair wins. If two players have the same pair, the higher card outside the pair – called the kicker – is used to break the tie. In the example, “Q” is the kicker for this pair of 7s.

Two Pairs

Ks Kc 5h 5c 9am

Two pairs in a hand. If two players have two pairs, the one with the highest pair wins. For example: KK559 beats QQJJT. In case of a tie for the highest pair, the second pair is evaluated. If the tie persists, the fifth card is compared.

Trinca (Three of a kind – Trips – Set)

Ad Ah To the Ts 7h

Three cards of the same value. If two players have three of a kind, the player with the highest three of a kind wins. If both players have the same three of a kind (yes, it is possible in games like Texas Hold'em, among others), the kicker counts, that is, the highest card besides the three of a kind. It is called a set when you have, for example, 89 and there is 599 on the board. It is called a set when you have a pair in your hand and complete the three of a kind with a card on the board, for example, with 66 and an A65 board you have a set.

Sequence (Straight)

7s 8h 9am Tc Jd

Five cards in sequence of values. If two players have straights, the player with the highest card wins. The lowest possible is A2345, and the highest possible is TJQKA. Configurations such as QKA23 are not allowed. If both players have the same straight, the hand is a tie; there is no kicker for a straight.

Flush

Ks Ts 9s 5s 2s

Five cards of the same suit. If two players have a Flush of the same suit, the player with the highest card wins. If the highest card is the same, the second highest card wins, and so on up to the fifth. If two players have different Flushes (possible in some games), check the poker rules. Some games have different values for each suit. In most games, this does not happen.

Full House

Jc Jd Js 6h 6c

Three of a kind and a pair. If two players have a Full House, the player with the highest three of a kind wins. If the three of a kind are equal (this can happen in some games), the tiebreaker is the pair.

If both players have the same hand, the pot is split. There is no kicker in a full house, as it is already a five-card hand.

Quadra (Four of a Kind)

9d 9c 9am 9s To the

Four cards of the same value. If two players have four of a kind, the highest card wins. The kicker, the different card, is used as a tiebreaker if it occurs (for example, in Texas Hold'em, if there is a four of a kind on the table, the player with the highest kicker wins).

Straight Flush

8d 7d 6d 5d 4d

Five cards in sequence, and of the same suit. The highest card counts as the tiebreaker.

Royal Straight Flush

B.C Kc Qc Jc Tc

Ten to Ace sequence, with the same suit. Highest hand in poker, cannot be beaten by any other.

Study this poker hand ranking carefully and in no time you will have it “automatically”. Good luck at the tables!

  1. Hi, Júlio Cezart, please answer this question about flush tiebreakers.

    Table Q, J, 10, 5 of hearts

    Player 1 = has 9 of hearts
    Player 2 = has 2 of hearts

    Who wins?

    Big hug

  2. Hello Julio.

    In that case,

    Player 1: QJ 10 9 5 (all hearts)

    Player 2: QJ 10 5 2 (all hearts)

    Player 1 wins.

    Conclusion: on a table with four hearts and you have one, you should only be more relaxed if your card is high.

  3. I would like to explain a situation that occurred.

    If five clubs are dealt on a table, then there is a flush on the table. Let's assume that the cards on the table are:
    K,J,7,6,2, player 1 has a Q of clubs and player 2 has a 9 of clubs, who wins the game if the King gives the highest flush?

    Please clarify this doubt for me.

    • Hello!!!
      In this case, whoever has the love card in their hand wins.
      Exp: 5,8,6,6,J, all of which are Clubs.
      And in your hand you have a Q of clubs and another card of hearts and in your opponent's hand you have
      a 9 of clubs and a J also of clubs, in this case you are the one who has the highest hand card, which in this case is the Q of clubs. Thanks guys.

    • Player 1 wins. Ex. If there is a flush on the table, the player with the highest club wins, because the flush is completed by 5 cards. In other words, ex. if you take the 2, which is the lowest card, and place the Q, you end up with a higher flush than the player with the 9.

  4. Fabiano,

    In this case, player 1's flush is KQJ 7 6 of clubs. Player 2's flush is KJ 9 7 6 of clubs. Since the K was the same, we move on to the second card.

    Therefore, player 1 wins because he has the highest card after the king. This is how it works in the official Texas Holdem rules.

    • In the response given to Fabiano, the team said that in a flush where the cards on the table are:
      K, J, 7, 6, 2, player 1 has a Q of clubs and player 2 has a 9 of clubs, the winner of the game is the one with the 2nd highest card. Wouldn't it be a draw because the game is always 5 cards and the K will belong to both players?

  5. Another question in the same situation, K, J, 10, 7 and 6 of clubs, both players have lower club cards than those on the table, what happens?
    Thanks

  6. Fabiano, in your second case, if the players have lower cards, the five cards on the table are the highest, so it's a tie.

    Remember: in Holdem, each player makes the best hand they can. If the highest hand of both players is equal, the pot is split. In your example, the highest hand is on the table, so the pot is split.

  7. It is well explained above, however, when we have a pair, 2 pairs, three of a kind or four of a kind, the kicker (highest card after the game) is the tiebreaker. The only thing that was not clarified is whether the kicker (highest card after the game) can be in the hand of one of the opponents?

    Grateful

    Nelson

  8. Nelson,

    The kicker is the highest card beyond the set.

    **Example 1: The table has 3 3 5 7 J.

    You have 3 K (trip of 3 with K kicker)
    Opponent has 3 A's (trip 3's with A kicker)

    Result – The opponent wins, with an Ace kicker.

    **Another case: table with 3 3 JJA

    You have KQ
    Opponent has 6 7

    Result: tie. Two pair (jack and three) with an ace kicker. In this case, the starting hands do not matter at all. Remember that only five cards are considered, so your king in hand does not give you the right to take the pot in this case.

  9. I would like to know how many cards the traditional game starts with, and how many can be exchanged at the beginning of the game… hugs

  10. My question is:

    After all the betting and before the river, or even afterwards, can I pressure my opponent to make a deal, such as splitting the pot? Is this acceptable at the poker table?

  11. Before the river, in a cash game, deals are possible, if the place where you play allows it.

    Another way is to ask for “deal it twice”, then the river will be placed twice, and each time is worth half the pot.

    After the river, it doesn't make much sense to make deals, but I think it could.

  12. Good if I have 2 pairs example 88663
    and if the adverçario has JJ, which one wins, my 2nd pair or his pair?
    or if I have 8866 and he has three of a kind 999, which one wins?
    A simple question but it's puzzling me!...

    thanks

  13. Teles,

    The double (two pair) with JJ would beat your hand 8866.

    Example: Community cards 6 6 AK 7

    You have 8 8

    Opponent has JJ

    In the end your game will be 8 8 6 6 A

    Opponent's JJ 6 6 A (winner)

    As for three of a kind, three of a kind beats two pairs.

  14. Roney, in Texas Holdem this is impossible, because if one player has two hearts and the other has two diamonds, it is not possible to have more than 3 diamonds and 3 hearts in the community cards!

    In the case of closed poker, it is usually a tie, but in some places they give a higher value to a certain suit.

  15. player 1: pair of 9s
    player 2:5 and 6 gold

    table:9,3…(2,7,10 gold)

    Why does player 1 win if he has three of a kind and player 2 has a flush?

    I thank you in advance…

  16. Bruno,

    In this case, the flush wins, not the three of a kind.

    A common mistake is if, for example, the board has 9 3 2 3 7 (being 2, 3 and 7 of diamonds).

    In this case the player with 9 9 wins with a full house.

  17. I would like to know the tiebreaker rule when the five cards on the table form a sequence. Example 6,7,8,9,10. In this case, does the player who has a 10 in his hand have an advantage or not?
    In the case of a four (quad) on the board. Example 9,9,9,9,5. Player 1 with A,K and player 2 with K,Q. Who wins the pot?

  18. Excellent question, Dida.

    Texas Holdem table with 6 7 8 9 10 – a player with a 10 in his hand has no advantage, since it is considered the best possible hand, and only that. If a player has a 5 in his hand, he also has no disadvantage. Only if he has a J in his hand would he win against the sequence on the table, or in the case of a flush.

    Four of a kind on the table, 9 9 9 9 5. Player one would win with four of a kind 9 and an Ace kicker. Player two loses, as he would have four of a kind 9 with a K kicker.

  19. now in this case:

    player 1: JQ
    player 2: KK

    table: 2 3 4 JQ

    In this case, what is the explanation for player 1 losing the pot when he has two pair?

    I thank you in advance

  20. Bruno, in your case Player 1 won the pot, without a doubt. Two pair against one pair.

    Now IF the board was 2 2 4 JQ, player two would win with two pairs KK and 22, against player 1's two pairs JJ and QQ.

  21. […] I was on the internet, trying to become a decent Poker player, actually a random player starting from the point that the only thing I understand about this game/sport is the basics about hands and card rankings. […]

  22. Hello, how are you?
    I want to know
    how many cards do i play in holdem,
    like, I use two in my hand and three on the table, right or am I wrong??
    hugs

  23. Thiago, this is a common mistake. There are two cards in your hand and five on the table. You form the best five-card hand possible.

    In other words, your best game may be the five cards on the table;

    Or four from the table and one from you;

    Or three from the table and two from you.

    In some games, such as Omaha high, it is different, you are required to use both cards in your hand, but holdem is not like that.

  24. Could you tell me the scoring sequence of the cards, I know that the highest card counts in the tiebreaker.
    pair – two pairs – three of a kind – straight – flush – full house – for(4 of a kind) – straight flush – royal flush would that be the value?
    Ex: the sequence wins against three of a kind, two pairs and the pair but loses to everyone above to the right.
    Grateful
    Jose Carlos

  25. Douglas,

    If I understand correctly, there are four clubs on the table, and the players had clubs, correct?

    Therefore, player 1 wins: his game would be AK 10 9 5 of clubs, against his opponent's A 10 9 5 2 of clubs.

  26. Seraphim on 12/14/2008 11:05 PM
    I would like to know the tiebreaker rule when the five cards on the table form a sequence. Example 6,7,8,9,10. Player 1 has a double of 77,
    player 2 has A5.
    Who wins the pot?

  27. Serafim, if each one's best game is the same, it's a draw.

    See that the best game of each of them is 6 7 8 9 10.

    A set of 7s is worse than a straight, so player 1 will get the straight. Player 2 could have a straight of 5 to 9, but it is worse than the one on the table, so he gets the one on the table.

  28. First of all, I want to congratulate you on the GREAT website.
    I have a question: In a closed POKER game (5cda), when 2 players finish the game with the same sequence, player 1 finished with the sequence A, K, Q, J, 10 (spades) and player 2 finished with A, K, Q, J, 10 (clubs), leaving only the two of them. I ask: Who wins the game? Thank you for your attention.

  29. Flávio, thank you for the compliment.

    In modern versions of closed poker, suits are no longer used to break ties, so in your case it would be a tie and the pot would be split.

    But pay attention to other cases:

    1. Both have a pair of Aces – look at the next highest card to break the tie;

    So if player 1 has AAK 3 2 and player 2 has AAJ 9 8, player 1 wins.

    2. Both have flushes – compare the highest card and in descending order to see who wins.

    So if player 1 has a spade flush with AK 9 8 3; player 2 has a diamond flush AQJ 5 3, player 1 wins (not because it is spades, but because he has higher cards).

  30. I'm learning to play poker and yesterday my friends and I had a question.
    We were playing with 4 people and everyone asked to check, on the table the cards turned over were 10 KJAQ, that is, a sequence, now who of the 4 players wins? Who has the highest card, who has a pair or double, three of a kind, etc., or who has a 9 and thus would make a sequence from 9 to Ace? Could that be?
    Thanks

  31. Hello Mauricio, welcome to pokerdicas.

    Considering Texas Holdem, and the example you gave:

    Each person forms the best set of FIVE cards. If one of them has a nine, it doesn't matter, because the best set is the one on the table (10 to Ace). If someone has three of a kind or two pairs or a pair, it doesn't matter either, if the table has a sequence that beats these other sets. Now if someone had a flush, it would change the picture.

    Another example, a little different:

    Board with AJ 8 7 4. One player has 9 10, and the other has 6 5 – the first one would win because he has a bigger straight.

  32. Finally a place to clear up my doubts lol…congratulations everyone…

    My question is the following:

    Board: K 9 6 (hearts for example) 3 spas and 5 clubs

    Player 1 Q and 8 (hearts)
    Player 2 J and 10 (Hearts)

    Which of the two Flushes wins this hand?

    Grateful

  33. Ronaldo, in this case, just put together the best possible game for each one and the answer will be clear:

    Player 1: KQ 9 8 6

    Player 2: KJ 10 9 6

    Player 1 wins by breaking the tie for the first kicker. If the second card was tied, the player would go to the third, and so on. The best five cards possible are always used for each player.

  34. One more question
    If by some impossible chance…lol
    If two have a straight of AKQJ 10, what are the tiebreaker suits?
    I know the diamond is the highest, what after that?
    Thanks…

  35. Ana, by open poker I believe you are talking about Texas Holdem, right?

    If so, there are five cards on the table and not six, as you put it.

    In Texas holdem there is no tiebreaker based on suit. If in the example you used, both of you had A and J in your starting hand, it would be a tie unless someone made a flush.

    And remember: there is no tiebreaker by suit in Texas Holdem.

  36. How is the tie-breaking carried out in the case of “Highest Card” in the following situation:

    Player 1 – A 9 (community 7 – 4 – 2)
    Player 2 – A 7

    Is there any form of poker where the blinds are split?

  37. If I am making a sequence with my two hole cards plus the four that are on the table but it still does not complete the Straight Flush (ex: I have 2 and 3 of hearts, and on the table there is the 4 and 5 of hearts and the 9 and 10 of clubs) and I am waiting to make the Straight Flush with the river card (that is, the 6 of hearts) and it does not appear, then my game is just a High Card?

  38. Ney,

    In your example player 2 has a pair of sevens and player one has nothing, so number 2 wins.

    If no one had anything, but both had an Ace, we would look at the second card. If it was still equal, the third, and so on.

    I don't understand your question about blinds. If you mean the kind where everyone calls an initial bet, it's called a pingo and can exist in several forms.

  39. Diego,

    It depends on which one appears.

    If it's a six or an ace but not a heart, it makes a straight. If it's a 2 or a 3, it makes a pair. Any heart makes a flush. It only becomes a high card if it doesn't make any play (like if a king of spades comes).

  40. If two players form the same sequence with the cards on the table, does the player with the second highest card win?

    grateful

  41. José, your example is very interesting.

    In this case, it is a draw. The best possible 5-card hand is always considered. In this case, the best possible hand is AAA99. The cards in hand in this case are useless.

  42. In a 4 player game
    the 3 cards are opened and they are dealt opposite.
    another card is opened and bets are made
    the fifth card is opened, player 1 bets, player 2 places all the chips, player 3 folds and player 1 follows, player 2 does not bet because he has no more chips.
    In the end, player 2 wins, and this is how the chips are distributed.
    Does the player only win what he bet and the other chips go back to the other players? Or does he take everything?

    grateful

  43. Great question Jose.

    You only win up to the point you bet.

    Example: Player 1 bets all in, 1000 chips, and two others call. This pot is now frozen. Then Player 2 bets more chips – a side pot is created for the dispute between Players 2 and 3. If Player 1 wins in the end, he takes the main pot. The side pot is made up of the best hand between Players 2 and 3.

  44. Hi guys, I would like to ask a question, a set of 10 loses to 2 pairs QQE88. BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING ONLINE AND I LOST WITH A SET OF 10 IN MY HAND. BECAUSE THE GAME HAD 4 CARDS IN HAND AND 5 ON THE TABLE.

  45. Carlos,

    As I explained in the examples above, what counts is the best 5-card hand. In this case, the best possible hand is on the table, a sequence of Ace to five. The fact that player 1 has Ace and 5 in his hand is worth nothing in this case.

  46. I would like to ask a question:

    In this play,

    Table: JJ 8 8 3

    Player 1: has 3 and 5 in hand
    Player 2: has 4 and A in hand
    Who wins the game?

    Thanks!

  47. Luciana,

    Interesting hand.

    In this case, player 2 wins with the hand JJ 8 8 A, against player 1 who would have the hand JJ 8 8 5. The fact that he has a three is worth nothing, as the best hand of five is always formed.

  48. I'm learning something in a free game called Governor of Poker, it's fun and I recommend it for beginners like me, those who don't speak English can see the tips in Spanish... however the table is "sung" in English, which is quite understandable even for those who don't speak the language... big hug.

  49. Hello!!!

    I'm a learning player and you might think this question isn't very normal, it's for open Poker.

    Question 1: Is it worth having a pair in your hand?

    Hugs

  50. Hey, how are you guys?... I have a question that happened to me in an online game... and I've seen it happen when I played with friends, but when this happened I wasn't the only one who had the doubt... for example:

    in the community it comes 3-10-7-K-10

    I have 10 and J

    My opponent has 3 and 3

    Here in the case of Texas Hold'em, we both have three of a kind, right? I thought because I had three of a kind of 10 my game was better, but what I saw was that because my opponent was holding a pair of 3s and then the 3 came in the community cards, he was the one who won the game. Why is that?

  51. Luan, you only have three of a kind (tens). Your opponent has a full house (three of a kind + pair of tens).

    Here's a lesson: three of a kind with two cards on the table is much inferior to three of a kind with two in your hand.

  52. The table came 10 10 10 8 3 Q

    Player 1 came with 8, making a Full House.

    Player 2 has formed a Flush, and also has three of a kind.

    Now they are insisting that the Flush beats the Full House because the three of a kind is on the table and everyone has it.

    So, who won? And why?

    I feel like a liar when my friends insist on telling me that the Flush beat the Full House because it was on the table.

  53. I assume you're talking about Texas Holdem, right?

    Your example is already wrong, as the table has 6 cards and in Texas Holdem there are five on the table.

    Well, I'll consider that the table has :Td :Tc :Ts :8s :Qs

    Player 1: :8d :9d

    Player 2: :2s :5s

    Player 1 has a Full House, Ten over Eight
    Player 2 has Flush: :Qs :Ts :8s :5s :2s

    It doesn't matter which three of a kind is on the table because everyone forms their best set of five cards and the rest will be useless!

    Therefore, Player 1 wins.

  54. Thanks Marcelo, I really added an extra letter to the example.

    But like, can 3 pairs be formed?

    For example:

    Player 1 has: A 5
    Player 2 has: A 9

    On the table is: A 5 8 8 K

    Would player 1 win by having 3 pair?

  55. How can you have 3 pairs if the maximum hand has 5 cards? Only the
    best five card game, the rest are useless.

    In your case player 1 would have AA 8 8 K. And player 2 would have AA 8 8
    K, that is, a draw. The pair of fives is useless in this case.

    • I'm sorry, but you're wrong...

      The player who has the 5 wins, because he has the pair in his hand, and the other has the pair on the board.

      • It doesn't really matter if the pair is in your hand or on the board. The winner is the player who makes the best five-card hand. If there is AKQJ 10 of mixed suits on the board, for example, even if a player has AA in their hand, they won't win, it would be a tie.

  56. Example:

    Two players have this game:

    The table: A 2 9 Q 6

    I left with a complete pair in my hands: 10 10

    The colleague comes out with the following game: 3 Q

    Who wins? Me for having a complete pair in my hand, without using any cards on the board, or him for having a HIGHER pair, even using one of the cards on the board?

    And if my pair was KK, even if it was higher than my partner's pair, would I win, or would the pair formed with a card from the table always win?

    • That's right, in the case of forming pairs with the board that are bigger than your hand, he will win, if you had the kk you would win, because it doesn't matter if the biggest game is formed with the board or just with your hand, in poker it is considered the 5 best cards in the game.

  57. If I have a sequence of 2, as, k, q, j of the same name….

    Is this sequence valid as a Straight Flush in Texas Hold'n???

    Thanks!!!!

  58. It's a bit of a silly question and I'm sure I have 99% but it's always good to ask

    player 1: 88
    player 2: AA

    Flop:2 6 8
    Turn:6
    River:6

    Well I'm pretty sure 1 wins: 8 8 8 6 6

    Did I say something stupid?

  59. Hi Bruno.

    You got it right. Both will have a full house, the first with 88866 and the second with 666AA.

    The tiebreaker in a full house starts with three of a kind, then the pair. The first player has the highest three of a kind.

  60. If I have a low pair (cards 2 to 10) before the flop, what is the best game strategy?
    I've always thought it was a bit risky to bet big before the flop with this hand (and I've never done well when I do), but in professional tournaments I've seen them "force" the table when they come out with a low pair.
    What's the tip?
    I'll tell you why I think it's risky. At a table with 10 participants, the chance of someone having a face card in their hand (J, Q, K, A) and getting the same face card out of the 5 cards on the table is greater than the chance of getting the same card from my partner, am I right? (I don't even know how to calculate the probability of that)

  61. Gus, your question is better suited for our forum.

    The chance of forming a set on the flop for someone with a pair in their hand is 12%

    Generally, the best thing for those with small or medium pairs is to try to see the flop cheaply, especially in good positions.

  62. Hey guys!
    I have a question.
    In this poker game, can a player use 4 cards from the board and only one card from his hand to make a Straight Flush?
    If he can, what happens to the other card in his hand? Is it worth anything else?

    • Gabriela, in Texas Holdem, the most popular variety today, you can use one, two or no cards from your hand. What counts is the best five-card hand. Anything left over from that is useless.

  63. Good evening. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your willingness and knowledge. However, I would like to ask a question about a situation raised here, and I hope you won't be offended, but I disagree. Just to let you know, in my opinion, the secondary pot would be divided among the bettors who lost to the player who was all in. If that's not the case, please tell me where I can find the rule that deals with this subject. Below, I will paste the situation raised.

    “# Jose Carlos Ferreira on 02/03/2009 11:30h

    In a game with 4 players, the 3 cards are opened and dealt face down. Another card is opened and a bet is made. The fifth card is opened. Player 1 bets, Player 2 places all the chips, Player 3 doubles and Player 1 follows suit. Player 2 does not bet because he has no more chips. In the end, Player 2 wins. How are the chips distributed? Does the player only win what he bet and the other chips go back to the other players? Or does he take everything? Thanks.

    # Marcelo PD on 02/03/2009 22:38h

    Great question, José. You only win up to the point at which you bet. Example: player 1 bet everything, 1000 chips, and two others called. This pot is paralyzed here. Then player 2 bets more chips – a secondary pot is created, for the dispute between player 2 and 3. If player 1 wins in the end, he takes the main pot. The secondary pot goes to the best hand between players 2 and 3.

  64. We are in doubt here in our group of friends who play poker... some say that the full is worth more than the flash... others the opposite... this is for closed poker with cards from 6 to az... please clarify for me.

    • If you play with fewer cards, the chance of making a full draw is greater than that of actually making a flush, so this rule can be defined like this before the game starts.

      However, in any normal poker game (with all cards) a full house beats a flush, as it is rarer.

  65. I have a question that I haven't figured out yet. If two players have the same pair, the highest card outside the pair – called the kicker – is used to break the tie. But which highest card of each one or of the table also counts. Let's imagine I have an Ace and an eight, my opponent has an Ace and a queen and on the table is
    The duke five six and king now the highest kicker of all is the king so it will be a draw or not.

    I appreciate your time
    Compliments

    • If both have the same pair, the next highest card is looked at, regardless of whether it is in the hand or on the table. If the tie persists, the second highest card is looked at, and so on until reaching five cards.

      In your example, your end game is AAK 8 6. Your opponent's end game is AAKQ 6 (your opponent wins on the second kicker).

      So the lesson is: Ace with a low card is much weaker than ace with a high card!

  66. Hello,

    I had the following doubt these days:

    Board: 2 (diamond) 3 (spades) Ace (diamond) Q (diamond) 10 (hearts)

    Player 1: K (gold) 10 (gold)

    Player 2: J (gold) 9 (gold)

    These two players have Flush, however, the Ace that would denote the highest Flush is already on the table. Does the next card count or is it a tie?

    thanks.

  67. Hello Marcelo PD! It's a pleasure to meet you and I want to congratulate you on this excellent site, because as soon as I had the pleasure of entering it I already cleared up some doubts, thanks to your pertinent explanations. I want to send you my regards and let you know that I have added you to my favorites, because I think it's very valuable to have a professional like you around to clear up any doubts that may arise during the games.
    I also want to congratulate you for the incredible dose of "PATIENCE" and "SICKNESS" to explain the obvious to so many %$&#@$ and %$&#@$ that appear here, taking up time and space from followers who are truly interested in improving their techniques, HEY %$&#@$ OF %$&#@$ %$&#@$, MAN! Go study a little before asking %$&#@$, and take up the time of the guy here on the site who is going straight to heaven, because putting up with these %$&#@$ people is, above all, a virtue. Man, a big hug to you, good luck and continue being the useful service provider that you are. Congratulations!!

  68. Dear “Saint” Marcelo,
    Bravo!
    Honestly, this is the first of many future times that I intend to visit this happy and very important page of help for all types of fans of this intelligent game that is Poker.
    Just today, I read “right above”, a happy quote made by someone, comparing Poker to Chess. I completely agree.
    I also read the scolding that my friend Hílton SP, “just above”, gave to those who still don’t know what to ask. Even so, they want to keep you busy.
    Finally, congratulations for your patience, teaching skills and full knowledge of the subject and, I can say in advance that, for my first day of learning, I already consider myself, theoretically, well prepared to begin.
    Hugs,
    Ennio.

  69. I WAS PLAYING ON POKERSTAR AND MY OPPONENT AND I HAD THE SAME FULLEN, BUT I HAD A KICKER 10 AND HE HAD A 9. I THOUGHT I WOULD WIN BUT THE POT WAS SPLIT. CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME?

  70. Hello… I would like to know if there really is an exception to the Texas Hold'em rule.

    she says the following:
    If a four of a kind is turned on the table (i.e. no one has the card that turned the four of a kind) the pot is split
    ignoring the kicker (highest card).

    example:
    table: 9 8 9 9 9 (quad of 9)

    hand1: 2 6
    mao2: 8 7
    hand3: A 2
    mao4: KJ

    the pot is divided between everyone
    Does this really exist?

  71. Hello, I would like to receive better information about the deal it twice, an example is ok, and another question is about sharing the pot if the river has been turned over but the game is over, that is, there are only two opponents left, and the game needs to be closed for both of them, and by agreement the pot is shared, what is the term for this? Thank you for your attention and congratulations on your attention.

    • I didn't quite understand your question. In any case, it has nothing to do with the hand rankings you mentioned. Please ask on the poker forum for tips with an example to make it easier.

  72. Player 1: has 6 of diamonds AZ of clubs
    Player 2: ACE of diamonds and a King of spades

    table: 3, 4, 7, 8 of diamonds and a 5 of hearts

    Who wins this table?

    in this case, player 1, in addition to the sequence, also had a flush, which prevails

    • As already explained in other comments, the highest hand always counts. If there is a flush, the sequence is useless.

      Both with flush, the tiebreaker is made by the value of the cards. The player with the ace of the flush then wins.

  73. Good evening, I have a question. I read the rules but I didn't understand this play. I was playing on full tilt and had a hand like this:

    Table
    K – Cups 7-Cups 5-Cups -J-Sword – K-Clubs

    My hand
    7-Sword 5-Sword

    Opponent's Hand
    6-Clubs J-Cups

    My question why he won the hand was not for me to win because I have 2 pairs and he only has a pair of J. Then in Full there is a window that writes the hand of whoever wins it said that he has a pair of J and K, so I didn't understand anything anymore.

    I'll wait

    Your website is really good, even though I'm just starting out, I've seen a lot of websites but none come close.

    • Leandro, in this case your opponent also has two pairs: “KKJJ 7”. But you have “KK 7 7 J”. The fact that you have a five in your hand is worth nothing because what counts is the best five-card hand, and you can use cards from your hand or the board.

    • Your question is wrong because in Omaha each person has 4 cards in their hand. If it were Holdem it would be a tie, both with a full 7 over an ace.

  74. I have a question: if there is a club flush on the table and both players have a pair, other than clubs, who wins this hand?

    for example on the table this is K,10,5,4,3 all clubs

    player one = has 10 and 2 of spades
    player two = has 4 and 2 of hearts

    Whoever wins this hand can enlighten me

  75. Hello friends, I have a question that has left me very confused about a supposed tiebreaker rule for two pairs. The case is as follows: I heard that when you have two equal cards IN YOUR HAND (a pair in your hand) you have advantages in the tiebreaker criterion, is this true?
    For example: PLAYER_1 has 2 2 in his hand,
    PLAYER_2 has AK in hand…
    The community cards are: JK 9 3 3….
    therefore both have 2 pairs, in this case PLAYER_1 = 2 2 3 3 K and
    PLAYER_2 has KK 3 3 J….
    In this case, because PLAYER_1 has a pair in his hand, does he win this game? Or does the one with the pair of kings win? Thanks in advance, hugs!

    • There is nothing like that. In this case, the person with the highest pair wins (two-pair tiebreaker). The person with the highest pair wins, regardless of whether their pair is in their hand or not.

  76. Hello! I would like to know, for example, if game 1: 4,3 both hearts, game 2: 5,6 both hearts, board: 8,k,A,[hearts],10,9,[diamond] both players have a flush, who wins? Or is it a tie? Since both players' cards are lower than the five on the board. Thank you!

    • If both have a flush, just put each one's hand and compare the cards in order! :Ah :Kh :8h :5h :6h > :Ah :Kh :8h :4h :3h

      The diamonds in this case are irrelevant.

  77. Look, explain this to me. I was in a game and had a pair of 88s, the other player had a pair of K9s and on the table there were 1010 QQ 5s and he won the hand. WHY? THANK YOU

    • Since two pairs better than yours were opened at the table, you were in trouble.

      Your final game was QQTT8

      The opponent's end game was QQTTK

      He won the tiebreaker because his kicker was bigger.

  78. if on the table there are 9,9,K, 9, K,
    player 1 has: K, J
    player 2 has: 8, 8

    Both make a full house, does player 1 win because the three of a kind of full house is higher, and using only one card from his hand?
    or
    Does player 2 win by using both cards in his hand?
    thanks!

  79. If after turning the board over and I check at the end of the betting and my opponent has 2 pairs
    and I had a crack..
    The value of the flop bet goes to him and the value of the turn and river bets goes to me?
    or is the POT all mine?

  80. Hello!

    One question: if we have a spade flush on the board (K, J, 10, 7, 2) and no player has a spade, what is the tiebreaker? The highest card?

    And to complicate things even further, if player 1 has an A and player 2 has a J, does the pair characterize player 2's victory?

    Grateful

    • If neither has spades it will be a draw.

      Only the 5 best cards (the flush, in this case) are considered. Otherwise, having a pair or not is irrelevant in this case.

  81. Please clarify something for me, if in my hand I have an “A” and a “K” and on the table there are two pairs of “A” and “K”, then in this case I will have two sets?

  82. Hi, I need to clarify a doubt.
    on the table comes out 4 9 9 6 3
    Fernando is 6 6
    nunes is 9 4
    Who wins the hand, Fernando or Nunes?
    and why?

  83. Good
    It was on the table
    22244- full house on the table
    one hand had a four and the other had an ace.
    Who wins?
    the person with the ace, right? because the other one had three of 4, so it canceled the full house for her, right?

    • There's no such thing as canceling. The person with the best five-card hand wins. The person with four cards has 44,422. The person with an ace has 22,244. The person with four cards wins!

  84. I have another question about a situation that happened to me. It was the following:

    On the table:

    8 – 9 – J – J -7

    My Hand:
    9 – K

    Opponent:
    8 – 9

    In this case my opponent had 2 pair, but there was a pair on the table, my question is:

    This pair on the table is communal, so would that be two pairs for me too?

    9-9 and JJ

    Since only 5 cards are compared, the two in hand and 3 on the board, this pair on the board would also be suitable for my opponent.

    But would that cancel out one of the pairs in your hand?

    Or would 3 pairs count for him?

    Who takes this round?

  85. Good afternoon!

    First of all, I would like to thank you for the post. I would like to know if the sequence above is valid for the game? I don't think so because I think three of a kind is worth more than a pair of cards, right?
    If this is not really the sequence, would it be possible to post it?

    Thank you in advance.

  86. good afternoon!
    The following happened to me, in my hand I had 5,J and in my opponent's hand I had 9,J
    AJ3K5 fell on the table, but the winner was the opponent on Poker Star who said that 9 was Kiker
    I didn't understand since I had two pairs of J and 5, thank you in advance!!

    • You must have made a mistake, because your description would say two pair for you. Stars doesn't make mistakes like that. Try looking up the hand history to see what happened.

    • The player with AK wins. His hand will be “7 7 6 6 A”. The other player will have “7 7 6 6 8”. You might ask “what about the pair of 3s?” – in this case it would be useless because the table hand is bigger.

  87. Hi! and the following

    If there are 8 8 8 8 4 (four of diamonds) on the table

    player one has: 10 4 (both hearts)

    player two has: The 6 (clubs)

    Who wins?

    Thanks!

  88. I have a question, if by chance I'm playing and it's a draw like this:

    On the table there are A, A, Q, Q and 3

    Player 1: Has 3 and 7
    Player 2: Has 5 and J

    Therefore, neither of the two has anything in their hand, zero, but with the table two pairs are formed, which of the two comes out the winner. Does the 3 that player 1 has in his hand influence?
    Grateful.

  89. Please clarify this question for me:

    Considering that the table has :7d :3c :2s :2h :Js

    Player 1: :7c :7h

    Player 2: :2d :Jc

    Player 1 has three of a kind 7s
    Player 2 has a Full House: :2s :2h :2d :Js :Jc

    In this case, does Player 1 win because his three of a kind is greater than Player 2's three of 2s, or does he lose because Player 2 adds a Full House to the total sum?!

    • In this case, they both have a full house.

      Player 1 has 77722. Player 2 has 222JJ. The first player wins because he has a higher full house (three of a kind of higher full house).

  90. table with 3 3 JJA

    You have KQ
    Opponent has 6 7

    Result: tie. Two pair (jack and three) with an ace kicker.

    I don't understand. Doesn't the highest hand win with high cards?

    • The highest hand on the table is two pair with an “A” kicker. It doesn’t matter which card is sixth or seventh. In poker, we only consider five cards.

  91. Hello…
    3 players in contention…
    Player 1 is all-in before the flop…
    Player 2 and 3 continue betting, but in the end player 1 wins over player 2 and 3…
    POREN,… in the sequence of bets by player 2 and 3, player 2 wins over player 3….

    In other words… player 1 takes the pot corresponding to his all-win, right?
    and player 2 wins the post flop betting pot as SECOND PLACE??

    It cost….

    • Exactly, Henrique. Player 1 can only win up to the limit of his chip stack. If he went all-in preflop, a separate pot is formed that will not be changed again until the end of the hand. The secondary pot will be contested by the other two.

  92. If possible, please help me with the following fact. We have been playing poker for a short time and a play questioned us last Sunday.

    A quad of 9s came up on the table, one player had a J in his hand, and another had a pair of 2s.
    In our understanding, the player with the J won the hand because he had the highest card, thus making the four of a kind on the table worth it, but there were controversies, thank you for your help.

    Thanks

    • That's right. Four of a kind breaks the tie with the fifth card. There's no way for someone to have four of a kind and a pair, since we only count five cards for the final game.

  93. in this case who wins:
    player X -> 2.2
    Player Y -> 4.8
    table -> 5,10,J,8,5
    Whoever wins, only player Y wins or the pot is divided into maximum pot and minimum pot

  94. player 1: Q and 7
    player 2: J and 9

    table : QJ 7 9 3

    Since the game is played with the 5 best cards, why does player 1 win in this game? Since player 1 wins on the first pair and player 2 wins on the second pair, then the tiebreaker would be on the kicker and the one with the highest kicker is player 2 and even so he loses... help me out because I don't understand this!

    1: QQ77J
    2: JJ99Q

  95. Hello, I would like to know if to make a flush or a straight it is necessary to use the 2 cards that are in your hand? Or can you use just one, and 4 from the table. Thank you.

    • Tie. The best hand is the one on the table. It doesn't matter if someone has two pair if the best hand is a straight (the table).

  96. doubt !!
    1.Q Sword and 3D Gold Game
    2.game 4 Spades and 5d Cups The game cards > AKJ7 d Spades and a 3 of cups
    3.game 3 Swords and 8 of Pals

    Who wins this one?! Or divide Pos 3 because the A is the highest card and belongs to Everyone!!!

    • Player 1 wins. In a flush, you look at the highest card, but if it is the same, you look at the second highest and so on.

      Player 1 has AKQJ 7 of spades (winner)
      Player 2: AKJ 7 4 of spades
      Player 3: AKJ 7 3 of spades.

      And we don't say “pals” but “paus”.

  97. Please clarify a doubt, in a hypothetical case where the cards on the table are 2 2 3 3 we have two players who have the following cards in their hands:
    player 1 = 2 3
    player 2 = kk
    This way player one would form two sets of three and player two would form a full house. Which player would win? And are two sets of three stronger than a full house? Thank you very much in advance.

  98. In the following situation:

    table: 8 – 8 – 7 – 7 – 6

    player 1: 6 – J

    player 2: A – 4

    Which player wins? Does the fact that player 1 made a pair with a card from his own hand influence the result?

  99. Hello!
    Player A: K 2
    Player B: QJ
    Table: AKQ 2 J
    Best option for A: AKK 2 2
    Best option for B: AQQJJ
    The question is: does A always win or is there a rule for proportional division of the pot if there are other losing players at the table?
    Thank you in advance!

  100. albeniz, the 2 pairs on the table are higher than player 1's pair of 6s

    then count the pairs on the table plus one card which will be the highest, that is, the Ace, player 2 wins.

    8877The best hand.

  101. In the case of a table with five players participating in the hand with A and B totaling seven players. A and B already know the cards (question above) and the other five players without any pairs.
    Player A always wins by taking the pot or does he split it in some proportion with B?
    Thanks.

  102. I have a question about a possible draw that occurred today while playing poker.

    Player A- J 10
    BJ Player 6
    Table- JQQA 8

    Does player A or player B win? Would it be a draw or would player A win because he has the 10 and B has the 6?

  103. Hello, I'm starting out. I want to know which hand beats which, for example, if a flush of the same suit beats a pair or a set. Sorry if it's a naive question, I'm a layman on the subject.

  104. Please clarify this question for me. If player one and player two both have a straight, and player two has the highest straight, but player one also has a pair. Who wins? Thank you.

  105. Hi, I would like you to clear up a doubt for me and it is the following:
    I had a trio of 7 and my partner had a trio of 2. He was the one who won, why?

    • You probably missed something. He probably had a full house, not trips. For example, you have A7, he has 22, the board is 77Q25.

  106. Dude, answer me a question:
    On the table the following cards: J 8 6 4 2
    Player one has J/2
    Player two has 8/6. Does the higher pair win? How does it work?? Thanks!

  107. I have a question, if a pair comes out as an initial hand, for example: the first 2 cards come out as a pair, is 3.3 higher than a pair that comes out on the table or are the values the same?

  108. Hello, 1 more question:
    I know that once the table bet is covered and matched by everyone remaining in the game, the flop cards are turned over, and the round starts again at the Small Blind. Right?
    I would like to know if there is any difference in the first round compared to the others, as I noticed that the Big Blind can re-bet even after everything is equal on the table.

    In other words, the Big Blind has the right to increase the bet he made once everyone has called, and this right is only in the first round and not in the others?

    Thanks

  109. Good evening! I have a question, I was playing with friends and my game was jack and 6,
    my friend was 5 and 8,
    and on the table was 10 10 8 king king.
    who won?
    I lost the game because they told me my friend's pair (8 8) was worth it, but if there were two higher pairs on the table, isn't my jack the one that breaks the tie to make the 5 highest cards?

    greetings and thanks

  110. Oh, I have a question….three in fact…
    first:
    table = 2p 5p 6P 10o 3p
    Player 1 = 7p and 8p
    Player 2 = 5c and Kp

    like, both of them made a Clubs flush, but player 1 made it with the 2 cards in his hand, and player 2 made it with the king and the 4 on the table... who wins? J2 because he has the highest card of the flush, or J1 because he made a flush with his two cards...

    Monday:
    table = 5c 7o Ac 10p 4e
    Jgor1 = 5th 5p
    Jgdor2 = 5e 3e

    If they are the 5 highest possible cards... player one has a pair of 5, 7, A and 10... player 2 has a pair of five, 7, ace and 10 too... but player 2 has a pair in his hand, and player 1 made a pair with the board, who wins???

    third simple….
    table = A 8 6 2 5
    player 1: A and 9
    player 2: KK

    Who wins, player 1 because he has a pair of aces, but he did it with the table... or player two who has a pair of Ks but did it with his hand? (I'm almost sure that it's player 1, but my colleagues insisted that it's the other one because he did it with his hand... Thanks!

    • Pablo, see the article on tiebreakers. It doesn't matter if you have it in your hand or on the board, what counts is the best 5-card hand.

      Question 1: Player 2 wins, because his flush is bigger, even though he only has one card in his hand.
      Question 2: Player 1 actually has three of a kind, not a pair. Player 1 wins.
      Question 3: Player 1 wins, with a pair of aces.

    • A3, because his hand will be: AKKJJ and his 10 KKJJ he wins with two pairs and a high card of A, since the pairs on the table are higher than his pair of 10s. =D

      • On the table there is:

        10, 5, 8, 2 and A

        I have: 10 and 9
        the other has: 10 and 7

        Will the pot be divided because the highest card is on the table or will the one with the 10 and 9 win???

        I await your response…
        Thank you for your attention….

  111. Another question, in case of Sequence (Straight)…

    Option 1: as there are four ranks and in a sequence there can only be two cards with the same rank and the other cards with different ranks. example: 7 (hearts), 8 (hearts), 9 (diamonds), 10 (clubs) and J (spades).

    Option 2: or it can be like this. example: 7(hearts), 8(hearts), 9(diamonds), 10(diamonds) and J(sword).

    Thank you for your attention…

  112. Hi, I have a question! Let's say there is a 5, 7, 8, 9 J of spades on the table! A complete flush
    and there are only 2 players left, one with a 3 of spades and a 2 of diamonds! and the other player has a Q of clubs and an A of diamonds! who wins????
    I thank you in advance!

    • All suits are of equal value.
      What probably happened was the following example:
      Your hand: KQ of hearts
      Your opponent: AJ of hearts
      Board: 3 Hearts 5 Hearts 9 Diamonds 8 Hearts K Clubs
      Your Flush: KQ853
      Opponent's Flush: AJ853
      Your opponent wins because he has a higher “flush” (the same thing as a flush). When both have a flush, the one with the highest card within the flush wins.

    • Trinca, of course if you don't have enough fixed ones you will earn less...

      Ex: you only have 30 fixed bets to bet, and you bet everything, and your four opponents bet 100, you will win 60 from each of them, the rest goes to whoever came in second place...

  113. Hello, I would like to ask a question.
    When two pairs jj447 come out on the table and I have a pair of 55 in my hand and my opponent has AK, who takes this table?

    • You win the hand.
      You have JJ557 as your hand.
      Your opponent has JJ44A
      We always think about the best 5 card combination.

  114. PLAYER A’S HAND – 7(DIAMONDS) 7(HEARTS) (PAIR OF SEVENS)

    PLAYER B’S HAND – 2(CUPS) 8 (SWORDS)

    CARDS ON THE TABLE:
    K (CUPS) K (DIMONS) A (SWORD) A (CUPS) 6 (WANDS)

    WHICH PLAYER WINS THE POT??

    • Hey Douglas, how are you?
      Player B wins the pot, having the highest kicker.
      The hands would look like this:
      Player A: KKAA7
      Player B: KKAA8

      The board has 2 pairs higher than player A's pair of 7s, so his pair does not count for this play.
      OK?

      Hugs!

  115. PLAYER HAND A – 3(CLUBS) 3(DIAMONDS) (PAIR OF 3’S)
    PLAYER B HAND – 2(SWORD) 4 (SWORD)
    CARDS ON THE TABLE:
    4 (CLUBS) K (CUPS) 3 (SWORD) 4 (CUPS) 10 (CUPS)
    WHICH PLAYER WINS THE POT?? AND WHY??

    • Player A has the following hand: 33344 (Full House)
      Player B has the following hand: 444K10 (Triple of 4)

      Player A wins the hand, as the game is always formed by the best possible combination of 5 cards.

  116. PLAYER HAND A – 3(CLUBS) 3(DIAMONDS) (PAIR OF 3’S)
    PLAYER B HAND – 2(SWORD) 4 (SWORD)
    PLAYER C HAND – 5(GOLD) 4 (GOLD)
    CARDS ON THE TABLE:
    4 (CLUBS) K (CUPS) 3 (SWORD) 4 (CUPS) 10 (CUPS)
    WHICH PLAYER WINS THE POT?? AND WHY??

    • Player A wins again as he has a full house of 333 with 44
      Player B has 444K 10
      Player C has 444K 10 as well.

      If someone had a 4K in their hand, for example, they would win, as they would have a full house of 444 with KK.

    • Hello Victor!
      As we must always think about the best game using 5 cards, mixing the cards in your hand and the cards on the table to form the best combination, we have the following hands:
      Player 1: AA775
      Player 2: AAJJ7
      Player 2 wins the pot with top 2 pair!

      Hugs

    • Your opponent wins because he has a pair of QQ and 99. You have a pair of 88 and 99.
      The hands would look like this, considering that the game is always played with the combination of the 5 best cards:
      You: 9988Q
      Opponent: QQ998

      Hugs!

    • It's a tie. The board made a flush higher than Player A's flush and Player B's hand.
      The pot is divided.

      We always think about the best combination of 5 cards. If this is the one on the table, then it is a tie.

  117. When I go to speak my cards, I say that I have 1 pair.
    Then the player shows 2 pairs but then I see that I also have 2 pairs, do I lose?

    (the cards haven't left the table yet)

    • If no player notices (including player 2), player 2 wins.
      If someone notices in time, victory will be yours. (Only if your 2 pair is higher than your opponent's, of course).

      Hugs

  118. Hi, I would like to ask a question regarding a play.

    on the table comes out
    AJ 10 Q 7
    I have
    Q 2
    he has
    Q 9

    What is the outcome of the play?
    split pot or victory for him?

    • The game is always formed by the best combination of 5 cards: 2 from your hand and 3 from the table, or 1 from your hand and 4 from the table.

      Your hand becomes:
      QQAJ10

      His hand stays:
      QQAJ10

      Your 2 and his 9 are out, so it's a tie.
      He would win if the table looked like this:
      AJ 5 Q 4

      He would have QQAJ9 and you would have QQAJ5

  119. I would like to know if I had a pair in my hand and one card on the table, forming a three of a kind, and in addition there was another pair. For example, player A: 999QQ and player B: QQQ95, who would win? I would be very grateful if you could answer me.

    • Player A wins, because a pair + three of a kind forms a Full House, which is a very strong play, which beats a straight and even a flush (5 of the same suit).
      An example:
      I have 88, my opponent has AK.
      On the table comes KK853
      I win because I have three of a kind 888 + a pair of KK, which makes a full house. My opponent only has three of a kind KKK with an 8 and a 5.

  120. My sequence and three of a kind turned over on the table, my opponent turned over a sequence, does the tiebreaker work with whoever has the second highest card? Taking into account only the sequence…

    • There is no tiebreaker in sequence, as every poker hand is made up of five cards.
      Example:
      You: :7c :7h
      Your opponent: :As :7s
      Table: :8d :4d :5c :6s :7d

      Both have a sequence of 4 to 8! This is a tie, even though you have three of a kind and your opponent has an Ace as his second card.
      The final hands:
      You: 45678
      Your opponent: 45678
      Note that your 7 and your opponent's Ace are out.

      Any other questions?

  121. My sequence turned over on the table and along with my three of a kind, my opponent turned over a sequence, does the tiebreaker work with whoever has the second highest card? Taking into account only the sequence?

    • Player two wins.
      Sequence is greater than three of a kind.
      Unless another card is doubled, then you have a full house, for example KKK with 55.
      In this example your hand is KK and your opponent's is a 67.
      Table K5895
      You win with a full house.
      If in place of the last 5 we put a 3 for example, your supporter wins.

  122. Hello, I would like to know if I have 10 and 2 of spades and my colleague has 2 of hearts and 10 of diamonds, from the sequence for me and for him JQKA8, but of these 5 cards, 3 are spades, who wins? Me and him won

  123. I would like to know in a game where you don't play with a full deck but rather from four to AS, which game is the biggest, Flurs or Full house.

  124. Like today I was playing and I had a set of 10s and an Ace and a 6
    and the guy had KQJ of clubs a 2 and a 7 why did he win?
    Do 3 consecutive cards of the same rank count as three of a kind too?

    • He probably made a flush, he had 5 cards of the same suit, which beats his three of a kind.
      If you remember the suits of the cards on the table it would be easier to help you.
      Thanks!

  125. Hello. The following happened: on the table there were Q, J, 10, 9, 8. In other words, a sequence. In the players' hands: Player number 1 had A and 6. And player number 2 had a pair of 2s in his hand. Both used the sequence on the table. Who wins? Player number 1 with the highest card or player number 2 with the pair?

    • Neither, it's a tie! 🙂
      Each player's game is played with 5 cards, therefore, since each player is required to use the sequence on the table, as it is the largest game, the cards in both players' hands are discarded and it is a tie.
      Note that if player 1 had a K he would win because the sequence would be longer.

  126. In Texas poker. They turn over the five cards on the table... The five are a pair of Ks, a pair of Js, and an 8.
    Right on the table there are two pairs K, J.. One of the players had an 8 and a 2, the other had a 9 and an A. Who would be the winner. ??? And why?
    Thanks !

    • The player with A9 wins, as hands are always made up of combinations of the 5 best cards, therefore:
      A player had KKJJ8
      The other KKJJA
      He wins on the A kicker (tiebreaker). His 8 is no longer considered a pair, as there are 2 higher pairs on the board.
      Poker Tips

  127. I would like to ask a question: my opponent had AA in his hand and I had 9 and 7… AND AT THE TABLE I HAD: AKQJ10
    Please, who wins the hand, my low straight or the triple AAA?

  128. I would like to ask a question: my opponent had AA in his hand and I had 9 and 7… AND AT THE TABLE THERE WAS a sequence of: AKQJ10
    Please, who wins the hand, my low straight or my opponent's triple AAA?

    • In this case it is a tie. The table made a higher play than both players, therefore both have a straight of 10 to A and the game is a tie.
      Hands are formed by the best combination of 5 cards.
      In this case your 97 and their AA make smaller plays than the straight that is already on the table.

    • He made a full house of 888 with 99
      His hand was a full house of 888 with 22
      His hand is bigger.
      You were winning until you turned over the 3rd 8 on the board.

  129. Well, my question is this:
    table: 2,7,8,9,10.
    Player 1: J,5
    Player 2: 5.6
    My question is, does player 2 have any advantage because he used both cards in his hand? Or does player 1 win by a higher sequence?

    • Player 1 wins by highest sequence. The game is formed by the best combination of 5 cards, regardless of whether 1 or 2 cards from the hand were used.
      Thanks!

  130. Event 1—-

    Table: AAJ 8 9
    Player 1: J 5
    Player 2: 8K

    Event 2—-

    Table: AA 8 7 2
    Player 1: JJ
    Player 2: 8K

    Nipes doesn't flush any of them.

    Who wins in each situation?

  131. Event 1
    Player 1 AAJJ9 Player 2 AA88K
    Player 1 wins, he has 2 pairs A and J, while player 2 has A and 8.

    Event2
    Player 1 AAJJ8 Player 2 AA88K
    Player 1 wins for the same reasons as above, in this case the 9 and 8 make no difference in player 1's game.

    If you have any further questions, just ask.

  132. I have a question, I had two pairs and my opponent only had a pair of 5s and an Ace and yet he won, why?

    I'll go for example
    You = 8 coins 9 hearts
    He = A of hearts and 5 of hearts

    Flop 8 hearts 9 diamonds and 5 clubs Turn 3 hearts and River K hearts

    Here he wins
    You = 9988K
    He = AK985 all hearts color beats 2 pair.

    I hope I helped

  133. I had a pair of 2 2 on the flop, I opened with 2 queens and 8 88 and the guy had a pair of 9 9, the pair of 9s beat my set of 22

    You = 22
    He = 99

    Flop = 2Q8 Turn = 8 River= 8
    Here you lose
    he has full house 888 for 99
    You have a full house 888 for 22, meaning your trio of 2s is useless here.

    I hope I helped.

  134. table: 3 of gold
    J of spades
    the hearts
    10 of swords
    6 of swords

    player 1: eight of spades; ace of spades
    player 2: ace of diamonds; king of spades

    Who wins this hand?

  135. Good afternoon, clear up a doubt for me.
    I was playing Omaha and I wanted to know who wins this hand
    I A368 adiversario 9 10 7 J
    TABLE 10 QJ 9 K
    WHO TAKES THIS

    • Player 2 wins with higher two pair.
      Player 1 has JJ558
      Player 2 has JJ885
      Both have two pairs, but the pairs of the 2 are higher (first equal, second higher). We always think about the best hand using five cards.
      Hugs.

    • Yes, it wins. A three of a kind is higher than one or two pairs, regardless of the value of the three of a kind and/or the pair/pairs.
      Quick example:
      Player X: 33
      Player Y: AK
      Table: AQK 3 7
      Player X wins with 333AK and Player Y has only AAKKQ

  136. One player has KK in his hand and another has A9 and on the board he has AAKQ5… both with three of a kind! Is there a rule that makes the player with KK win because his three of a kind is formed by a spade in his hands?

    • The player with KK does not have three of a kind, he has a full house. Three of a kind of K with a pair of A's. He beats the three of a kind of AAA from the other player with A9.

    • Hello Tiago
      Your question does not present suits, so we will consider that there is no possibility of a Flush.

      So the best game presented is the table itself with a Straight of 3 to 7.

      Result: Draw.

  137. DOUBT
    I would like to know if there is any program that helps to view cards in online poker.
    because I constantly come across illogical situations at PokerStars.

    ex: in the pre-flop I sometimes witness or even enter these hands, a guy goes al-in 3,4 of the same nipe on the flop or turns 1,2,5 or turns 3 of the same nipes as if he already knew, is it possible for this to happen or is it just pure luck.
    what I doubt kkkkkkkkk

  138. I have a question, I have a 3 and a Jack in my hand and my opponent has a pair of Kings, and on the table appears 5,10,3,Ace,3. In the pot there were 5,000 in chips and he takes 3,200 and I take 1,800. How if I have the bigger hand how does he take the pot? Thank you.

  139. A question.
    my opponent came out with a pair of 10s
    I left with 9 Q
    flop 10 KJ turn J River 5

    My question is, since I've only recently started playing poker, why did I lose with the sequence for three of a kind? Do three of a kind always beat these sequences?

  140. Good afternoon, I'm doing very well on pokerstars.com.

    These days I made a sequence of A and 3 of diamonds and player B had a pair of KK:
    Table: 2 5 7 9 4
    Why did he take the biggest slice of the pot? If in the hand rankings, straights are worth more than pairs and trips?

  141. Good afternoon, I have a terrible doubt in my hand. I had A,8 on the table and opened 3,A.7,8,5. The guy had A,9. I didn't understand why he won. If I had two pairs of the same. I'm new to the game, but I read the rules and I had this doubt. And I bet ALL IN and got screwed. I'm playing Texas Pro Poker online.

    • Hello, Dinho.

      I am not familiar with this Texas Pro Poker Online software, but I imagine it is a recreational software (play money). Not all of these software follow the official 100% rules.

      However, I don't think that was the problem. Your opponent probably made a flush (5 cards of the same suit - in no particular order), and you just didn't notice.

      If you still have questions, I recommend that you post them on our forum, in this section: https://pokerdicas.com/forum/perguntas-de-iniciantes/

      Thanks.

  142. HELLO, CAN YOU ASK ME A QUESTION? I HAD AE 10, THE GUY AEK, THEN THEY CAME OUT AT 2, 9, JJ. WHY DID THE GUY WIN??? THE KING IS A KICKER, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PAIR OF JACKS FOR BOTH OF THEM???? AND IF IT IS WORTH IT, WHY DO THEY SOMETIMES SPLIT THE POT??? IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE SEND THIS COMMENT AND REPLY BY EMAIL, FRIENDS.

    • You: A10
      Opponent: AK
      Board: A29JJ

      Your final hand: AAJJ10
      Opponent's final hand: AAJJK

      He wins with two pair, K kicker. You have two pair, 10 kicker.

      Every poker hand is the best possible combination of 5 cards, combining your 2 in your hand with the 5 on the table.

    • Hello good afternoon.
      Player 1 wins with a higher straight from 9 to K, while Player 2 has a lower straight from 8 to Q (disregarding suits/flush).
      You didn't give many details, so it's hard to explain. But if it's as I understand it, that's it.
      Att.,

  144. Hello, I have a question, the table is 99964
    Player 1 has 6e2
    Player 2 has a pair of 10s in the hole
    Which of the two wins?
    Another question: if I come out with a pair in the bad and on the table there is no one of mine but there is a pair there and my opponent is making a pair with the card in the bad, who wins?
    Ex table 2245J
    Player 1 4 and 10
    Player 2° 10e 10
    Who wins?

  145. Hello, my friend Fernando, please answer a question for me. I had a sequence of 9 and jack of clubs on the table. There were 8 of clubs and 10 of clubs. The player had a pair of 88. Who wins this game?

    • You didn't form any hand. Hands are made of 5 cards, for you to have a straight you were missing the 7 or the Q.

      He won with a set of 888. You only had an “almost” straight of 8,9,10,J…

      I'm disregarding the other cards (which you didn't mention), because since you have 2 of clubs, and there are 2 of clubs on the table, if there's one more there, you win, with a flush.

      If you have any further questions, please post on the forum: https://pokerdicas.com/forum/perguntas-de-iniciantes/

      Thanks.

  146. Hello! Good morning, a question about Texas Royale poker? If there is a community pair of threes on the board, and one of the players has two pairs, a pair of sixes and a pair of twos. His opponent has a pair of threes on the board and a pair of aces in his hand! Which of them would win the game and take the pot?

  147. I came here to look for something but I ended up seeing a lot of easy questions here, so here's a tip that helps a lot with these doubts: each player has the 5 highest cards on the table and in his hand (total 7). Whoever, individually, has the highest score in this situation, wins. 6 or 7 cards will never count. Sometimes all 5 on the table and none in the hand, but never 6. Only 5.

    • Hello. You didn't explain it well. How come there were only 4 cards on the table?
      I guess you meant KK9AA. In this case he won with a Q kicker. You and he both have AAKK pairs and his 5th card (Q) is higher than yours (9).
      In this case your pair of 9s “dies” and doesn’t count, as it is lower than KK and AA.
      If you have any further questions, please post on the forum: https://pokerdicas.com/forum/perguntas-de-iniciantes/

  148. GOOD AFTERNOON I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT POKER
    LET'S ASSUME THE BET IS 500 AND I HAVE 200 AND I PLAY AND WIN?
    HOW MUCH DO I EARN FROM OTHERS AND ANOTHER THING EVEN IF I EARN, DOES THE DISPUTE BETWEEN OTHERS CONTINUE?

    • Hello good afternoon.
      You didn't explain the situation very well.
      But, if the bet is at 500, you enter with your 200 (all you have) and win, you will only win another 200, that is, a total of 400 (assuming it is against a single player).
      If there are, for example, 3 players in the hands, and the others still have chips, the dispute continues between them, yes, for the secondary pot.
      If you have any further questions, please post on the forum: https://pokerdicas.com/forum/perguntas-de-iniciantes/
