Texas Hold Em Poker?

Question

What is better??

Two pairs or one pair??

Two pairs or one pair of aces??

Answer 1

2 pairs always beats one pair no matter what the one pair is

Answer 2

Come on, we learned this in Sesame Street that 2 is more than 1...

Answer 3

Any set of two pair beats any pair.

For example, 2-2-3-3-4 beats A-A-K-Q-J.

From highest to lowest:

Straight Flush (five sequential cards of the same suit)

Four of a Kind

Full House (a three-of-a-kind plus a pair)

Flush (any five cards of the same suit)

Straight (five sequential cards of any suit)

Three of a Kind

Two Pair

Pair

High Card

(Note: some people will start the list with "Royal Flush" - I don't feel the need to, as a Royal Flush is simply an Ace-High Straight Flush.)

Answer 4

two pair is better than 1 pair no matter what it's a pair of

Answer 5

Two pair always beats one pair.  Even if one pair is aces and two pair is twos and threes.

Before you even attempt to learn poker, a prerequisite is that you learn what hands beat what.  Without that, you'll not be able to play the game.  I've added a link for you.
