3 pair does not constitute a legal hand in Poker. Therefore, 3 of a kind is better. You play your two highest pairs if you so happen to have 3 pairs in play!
For instance in Texas Hold em: You have a Pair of Queens, other dude has Jack ten. The flop comes out and its Jack 10 Ace then turn is ACE and River is 3. The guy who had 2 pair Jacks and tens loses because Queens & Aces is higher than jacks ACEs.
3 of a kind
Only five cards are used to make up a hand. you cannot have three of a kind and two pairs in the same hand. You either have a full house (three of a kind and a pair), three of a kind, or two pair. The full house beats a three of a kind and the three of a kind beats two pair. If two players have three of a kind, the highest three of a kind wins.
Trips or a set beats 2 pair
a striaght wins in Poker i would know i play poker all the time!
The person holding the highest value cards wins. For example, if you have three 2's and the dealer has three queens, the dealer wins. If you have the three queens and they have the three 2's, you win. In a single deck, it is not possible for two people to have three of a kind of equal value.It is possible for two people to have pairs of equal value, in which case, the value of the highest card in the hand determines the winner.
The three nines and two eights win, because the higher three of kind is stronger.
Four of a kind in Poker beats three of a kind. Even four deuces beats three aces.
Both hands are full houses, which means that there is a three of a kind and a pair in each hand. When comparing these hands the three of a kind is what determines the winner, in this case three 6's beats three deuces.
There are no three pairs in poker, it's only three of a kind or your two highest pairs. So the full house would win. I mean just for starters the full house already has three of a kind within it 3 6's which already beats two pair. So the full house is ONE of the strongest hands in poker.
A straight wins. The hand rankings are: Royal Flush (AKQJT of all the same suit) Straight Flush (a straight of all the same suit) 4 of a Kind (QQQQ for example) Full House (AAA44 for example) Flush (all same suit, non sequential) Straight (sequential but not same suit) 3 of a kind 2 pair 1 pair High Card
The ranks of hands are as follows (from best to worst): 1. Royal Flush 2. Straight Flush 3. 4 of a Kind (aka Quads) 4. Full House (aka Boat) 5. Flush 6. Straight 7. Three of a Kind (aka Set) 8. Two Pair 9. Pair 10. High Card (aka nothing)
