Two Pairs In Poker Who Wins
2022年1月3日Register here: http://gg.gg/xfikq
Your opponent’s best hand is Q♥Q⋄7♣7♠A♣. You have two pair, kings and sevens. Your opponent has two pair, queens and sevens. Your hand is best, so you win the pot. In a hand with two pairs, the two pairs are of different ranks (otherwise you would have four of a kind), and there is an odd card to make the hand up to five cards. When comparing hands with two pairs, the hand with the highest pair wins, irrespective of the rank of the other cards - so J-J-2-2-4 beats 10-10-9-9-8 because the jacks beat the tens.

Both players have an ace, but Player 1 wins, because he has a king as his second highest card (kicker). His opponent only has a queen. If you can form a hand containing two cards of the same value, you have one pair or “a pair”. The hand above contains a pair of aces. Two Pair appears in seventh place on the poker hand rankings list. It consists of one pair of same-ranked cards along with a second pair of same-ranked cards. In Hold’em, a Two Pair hand is one of the most common winning hands. As you guessed, this 5-card hand includes 2 pairs – each pair has the same rank. In other words, there are Two Pairs of cards and a kicker. When you’re playing Texas Hold’em poker, Two Pairs is often a winning hand. When you hear the words ‘Two Pair’, your mind should instantly perceive 2 pairs of cards of the same rank or denomination.
A common confusion for new players is to determine a winning hand at showdown. Things can get complicated very fast if 2 players have two pairs at showdown or some other same ranking hand. Luckily for you, I will show you many different scenarios, so next time you can be sure who wins.
Who wins if both players have 2 pairs? A person with a higher 2 pairs wins. In the case that both players have the same 2 pairs, then the one with the highest kicker wins. If 2 pairs and the kicker are the same, then the pot gets split.
Playing high cards will help you be on the winning side more often when both you and your opponent have two pairs.
Yes, you will still win with bottom two pair, since you are beating all the top pairs and overpairs, that are value betting multiple streets. But to be the winner of the truly huge pots, you will need to have higher two pairs than the opponent more often.
Some players start folding top pairs and overpairs when faced with multiple streets of value. But to start folding even bottom two pairs, it takes some self-discipline. And discipline is what many players on lower stakes lack.
When you have the top two pair, you can value bet huge and will get paid off by the smaller two pairs. Your opponents will try the same, so stick to playing bigger cards – playing more broadway cars than low suited connectors is the right approach – to have higher two pairs more often.
Nonetheless, there are several different possible scenarios when it comes to both players having two pairs at showdown. Let’s check them below.Both 2 pairs but of different value
This is probably the most common scenario when you see both players having two pairs. It is easier to have 2 pairs of a different value than having exactly the same two pairs. This is due card removal effect – if we hold AQ, then AQ is less likely to be in the opponent’s hand.Higher pair is different, and a lower pair is the same
If a higher pair is different, then no need to check the lower pair anymore. We already know that the person with the higher pair in their two pairs wins.
Example: we have AT, and the opponent has KT. Board is AKT23. First, we check, and we see that we both have 2 pairs. But we win because our highest pair is higher than the opponent’s highest pair. The fact that the lower pair is the same as an opponent’s it doesn’t matter. Also, the fact that our kicker is lower is, in this case, completely irrelevant.Who Wins In Poker With Two Pairs
Once the higher pair is different, we know we already have the winner. In our case, we have two pairs aces and tens with a king kicker, and the opponent has two pairs of kings and tens with an ace kicker.Higher pair is the same, and the lower pair is different
If both players have the highest pair the same, but the lower pair is different, then the person with higher 2nd pair wins. For example, AK vs. AT on AKT23 board. We will win with AK as we have two pairs aces and kings with a ten kicker, and the opponent has two pairs aces and tens with a king kicker.
We check the highest pair, and we see it is the same, then we move down to 2nd pair, and we see that our 2nd pair is higher than the opponent’s, so no need to check the kicker, we win.Both pairs are different
The person with the highest pair wins when both pairs are different. If you hold AK and the opponent has T9 on the AT9K2 board, then you are the winner since you have two pair aces and kings with a T kicker. Opponent only has two pairs of tens and nines with an ace kicker. – you can see that it is enough just to check the highest of the two pairs in each player’s hand and we know who the winner is.Both players have the same 2 pairsDifferent kicker
If players have a different kicker and both pairs are the same, then the person with the highest kicker will win. Let’s check an example:
*We have KT, and the opponent holds JT. Board is QQT23. We win the pot, we have the same two pair, but we have a better kicker than our opponent. Our hand is two pairs, queens and tens with a king kicker, the opponent has the same hand, but only jack kicker.The kicker is the same
If the kicker is the same and both pairs are the same, then pot gets split.
There is not much more to explain, so let us move on to the next possible scenarios :).Two pairs on the board
Sometimes it will happen that there are 2 pairs already on the board. If nobody else holds a higher pair in their hand, then the kicker will be a deciding factor in who wins the pot. If the kicker is of the same rank, then the pot gets split. Let’s check two examples:
*Board is A3773: We have A2, and the opponent has K4. We win because we have a higher two pair than the opponent. Our hand is two pair, aces, and sevens with a 3 kicker (AA773), while the opponent has two pair, sevens and threes with an ace kicker (7733A).
*This time board is T3773. We hold A2, and the opponent has AK. The pot gets split as we both have two pairs, sevens and threes, with an ace kicker (7733A). Remember, the best five-card combination wins.
How strong are two pairs
Two pairs are a decently strong hand. You can expect to have 2 pairs around every 21 hands (if you wouldn’t be folding and always went to showdown). Or if we transfer this into percentages, you have a 4.75% chance to have exactly two pairs at showdown. To check probabilities to hit certain hands, check this link to Wikipedia.
As you were able to see from all the examples above, some two pairs are much better than the other two pairs. Having the top two pairs is excellent. Even top and bottom pair are a lot better than having 2nd and 3rd pair. But
The value of our two pairs is different depending on the board, and our equities can change dramatically. Let’s check a few examples:Dry boards
On very dry boards, our two pairs are a valuable hand. Of course, our bottom two pairs aren’t as strong as the top two pairs, but nonetheless, we still do beat plenty of hands. Check the equities on Q95 rainbow board:Wet flops and mono boards (of one color)Straight possible boards
We have 87, on three straight boards like 6h7h8s many opponents will be betting if they have a 9 and a pair, sets, lower two pairs, high flush draws, and made straights. Our equity of the top two pairs is a lot worse here than on a dry board above. Let’s see in the table below how we do against certain hands.
The most surprising is that 69 has almost 44% to win against the top two pairs there. The board is 6h7h8s:Mono (flush hits on the flop) board
On 2h7h8h board, our 87isn’t such a good hand anymore. It is largely behind flushes (it has 17.3% to win), and we have only 63% against ace-high flush draw (AhTs in our example). Against T9 (including flushes) we now have 56.4% equity, which is around as much as QQ has against AK offsuit, and many categorize that as a flip already.Related questionsDoes a straight beat a two pair?
Straight does beat two pair. Both are winning hands but straight is just better. Hand rankings go as follows, from weakest to strongest:
*No pair
*One pair
*Two pair
*Three of a kind
*Straight
*Flush
*Full house
*Four of a kind
*Straight flush
*Royal flushPair in hand vs. pair on the table
It doesn’t matter if you have a pair on the table or a pair in the hand. At showdown, both still count as a pair. But a pair in the hand is more valuable. Let me explain why:
*If there is a pair on the board, then everyone has at least that pair.
*In the case that you have a pair in hand and there is a pair on the board, then now you have two pairs.
*Think of the pair on the table as a bonus to everyone’s hands. Plus on top of that, it is easier for someone to have trips now. On the other hand, the pair in your hand is only yours, and others still need to hit a better hand if they don’t already have a higher pair than yours, to beat your hand.Conclusion
All the examples above will make you a lot more confident next time when you see the same cards at showdown. Keep playing, and eventually, you will know in a split of a second who wins the pot. It kind of becomes muscle memory after a while. If you are interested in similar articles, then check the section below. Good luck at the tables.Related Links

Sometimes the basics are not enough and further explanation is needed. Let’s go through all the possible hands and show how a tiebreaker is handled for each and every possible situation in poker.Poker Tiebreaker Rules
Having a tie in poker is actually a fairly rare thing. For the purposes of this article we will focus on ties in Texas Hold’em. However, the methodology works for any form of poker.Who Wins If No One Has a Pair? High Card Tiebreaker Rules
The easy way to determine who wins if no one has even a pair is for everyone to put their hands in order from high to low. Then, simply start at the top and work your way down until the tie is broken. The highest non-tie card wins.
High-Card Tiebreaker Examples:
*AJT85 beats AJT82
*T8542 Beats T7653
*85432 Beats 76542
*K6542 Beats K6532What Happens If Two Players Have the Same One-pair Hand?

*J♠ 9♠ 5♠ 3♠ 2♠ beats T♠ 8♠ 7♠ 6♠ 4♠ What If Two Players Have a Full House?
To break a tie with a full house, whoever has the highest “trips” parts of their hand wins. The “pair” part of the hand does not matter except as a tiebreaker. If the pairs are the same as well, then the hand is a tie and the pot is split.
Full House Tiebreaker Examples:
*TTT22 beats 777AA
*555JJ beats 444KK
*QQQ33 beats QQQ22Four of a Kind, Straight Flushes, and Royal Flushes
Unless the hand is on the board, it is extremely rare for there to be two players with the same ultra-premium hand like four of a kind, a straight flush, or a royal flush. However, it is easy to decide who is the winner.
*Four of a kind – The highest four of a kind hand wins
*Straight flush– Usually when this happens, one player will have the top of the straight flush and the other the bottom. The top wins.
*Royal flush– The only time it is possible for two players to have a royal flush is if it is on the board. Even if it was possible, two royal flushes is always a tie. Contrary to what some people believe, one suit does not beat another suit unless a specific local rule dictates it.What Happens If Players Have the Same Hand Even After a Tiebreaker?
Can there be a tie in poker? In poker, if no winner can be determined with a tiebreaker, then the hand is declared a tie and the tied players split the pot. The most frequent time there is a tie in poker is where the board is paired twice and two or more players each have the same high card.
Examples of tied hands:
*One player has AK and the other has AQ and the board is J2255. Each player has A2255 and for a tie.
*One player has A8 and another has A6. The final board is AQJJ9. Both players have a pair of Aces with kickers of QJJ9. They would split the pot.
*One player has 98 and the other has 92. The final board is AKQT5. Both players have the high card hand AKQT9. The pot is once again split between them.What If the Best Hand Is on the Board?
If no part of anyone’s hand can break the tie, then the pot is split equally among the players with live cards. This commonly happens when there is a straight or a flush on the board. This is known as “playing the board.”How Do We Split up the Pot?
The easiest method to split up a pot in poker is to start with the highest chip color and work your way down. If there is an uneven number of a color, you pull in enough from the next lowest amount to even it up. Then start the process again with the next highest color available.What If There Is an Uneven Amount in the Pot?
If there is an extra chip left over after the pot has been split, then the first player seated clockwise from the dealer gets it. In heads-up, the player who was the Big Blind gets the extra chip.Which Hand Is Best in High-Lo Poker?
There are a few variations of poker, namely Omaha Hi-Lo where the low hand wins half of the pot. In this case, whoever can make the lowest possible hand that isn’t a straight wins. 5-4-3-2-A is known as the “nut low.” and is a really strong hand in Hi-Lo games.
In order to qualify for a low hand, the highest card has to be 8 or lower. 86532 qualifies but 95432 does not.What Are Common Tie-Breaker Mistakes?
In pub poker or home games, I see people scoop a pot quite frequently when it was supposed to be a tie. The most common time this happens is when someone is dominated and then their kicker is counterfeited at some point during the hand.
Here are some examples:
AQ vs. A2– Board runs out A588K, which means they both are holding two pair Aces and eights with a King kicker. I have witnessed the pot be pushed to the AQ guy and the next hand be about to start before anyone notices.
66 vs. 44– Board runs out KTT7K, which means they both are playing the board with two-pair, Kings over Tens with a seve kicker. I swear, I wish the guy with 66 would notice the counterfeiting just one time. I’ve seen supposedly “experienced” players not even understand that 66 and 44 are tied here.
AA vs. AK– Board runs out 97568, with a straight on the board it’s a split pot. Yet you’d be surprised how often the guy with AA will try to drag in the entire pot.Remind Me, What Is the Hand Ranking Order Again?
Ranked from best hand to worst:
*Royal Flush
*Straight Flush
*Four of a Kind
*Full House
*Flush
*Straight
*Three of a Kind
*Two-Pair
*One-Pair
*High CardFinal Thoughts

Contrary to what some people believe, one suit does not beat another suit unless a specific local rule dictates it.What Happens If Players Have the Same Hand Even After a Tiebreaker?
Can there be a tie in poker? In poker, if no winner can be determined with a tiebreaker, then the hand is declared a tie and the tied players split the pot. The most frequent time there is a tie in poker is where the board is paired twice and two or more players each have the same high card.
Examples of tied hands:
*One player has AK and the other has AQ and the board is J2255. Each player has A2255 and for a tie.
*One player has A8 and another has A6. The final board is AQJJ9. Both players have a pair of Aces with kickers of QJJ9. They would split the pot.
*One player has 98 and the other has 92. The final board is AKQT5. Both players have the high card hand AKQT9. The pot is once again split between them.What If the Best Hand Is on the Board?
If no part of anyone’s hand can break the tie, then the pot is split equally among the players with live cards. This commonly happens when there is a straight or a flush on the board. This is known as “playing the board.”How Do We Split up the Pot?
The easiest method to split up a pot in poker is to start with the highest chip color and work your way down. If there is an uneven number of a color, you pull in enough from the next lowest amount to even it up. Then start the process again with the next highest color available.What If There Is an Uneven Amount in the Pot?
If there is an extra chip left over after the pot has been split, then the first player seated clockwise from the dealer gets it. In heads-up, the player who was the Big Blind gets the extra chip.Which Hand Is Best in High-Lo Poker?
There are a few variations of poker, namely Omaha Hi-Lo where the low hand wins half of the pot. In this case, whoever can make the lowest possible hand that isn’t a straight wins. 5-4-3-2-A is known as the “nut low.” and is a really strong hand in Hi-Lo games.
In order to qualify for a low hand, the highest card has to be 8 or lower. 86532 qualifies but 95432 does not.What Are Common Tie-Breaker Mistakes?
In pub poker or home games, I see people scoop a pot quite frequently when it was supposed to be a tie. The most common time this happens is when someone is dominated and then their kicker is counterfeited at some point during the hand.
Here are some examples:
AQ vs. A2– Board runs out A588K, which means they both are holding two pair Aces and eights with a King kicker. I have witnessed the pot be pushed to the AQ guy and the next hand be about to start before anyone notices.
66 vs. 44– Board runs out KTT7K, which means they both are playing the board with two-pair, Kings over Tens with a seve kicker. I swear, I wish the guy with 66 would notice the counterfeiting just one time. I’ve seen supposedly “experienced” players not even understand that 66 and 44 are tied here.
AA vs. AK– Board runs out 97568, with a straight on the board it’s a split pot. Yet you’d be surprised how often the guy with AA will try to drag in the entire pot.Remind Me, What Is the Hand Ranking Order Again?
