card ranking



Posted Fri Jan 26, 2007 8:08 am GMT by steenaap
Hello,

I read some rules on poker on the net, but there is never explicitely mentioned how a hand is assessed next to the hand rankings.

Suppose, two players show their cards:

On the table are some cards, two of them are an king and a queen

Player1: queen, ace
Player: king, nine

Who is winning?
- I tought that if both have a pair, one should look at the remaing card in your hand: so the player with the ace is winning?

- Or is it the value of the pair which makes it?

Regards,
Jeroen

For your example, highest pair wins.

Kickers only matters when two players have the same pair (or quads, or trips, etc).
