2 Pair poker hand
A 2 Pair is one step down from a 3 of
a Kind and one up from a Pair.
Cards to make a 2 Pair: 4, 4, K, K, 8 (2 seperate pairs and one
extra card).
If
more than 1 player has 2 pair then the highest value 2 pair wins. If both players have the same 2 pairs then it will be the player who has the highest valued Kicker that wins the hand.
e.g.1
Player 1: K, K, 4, 4, 9
Player 2: K, K, 5, 5, 3
Player
2 wins as their second pair is higher value than player 1's because
the highest pair each player has (pair of Kings) are the same.
e.g.2
Player 1: Q, Q, 3, 3, K
Player 2: Q, Q, 3, 3, 9
Player
1 wins as in this case the highest Kicker comes into play as both
players have the same 2 pair and player 1's King beats players 2's
9.
The
odds of making a 2 Pair are 20 : 1 |
