In Texas Hold'em, two pair is a hand with two sets of pairs. The rules for two pair are that the higher pair wins if two players have two pair. If both players have the same highest pair, then the second pair is used to determine the winner. If both pairs are the same, then the fifth card, known as the kicker, is used to break the tie.
In Texas Holdem, the strength of a hand with a pair is determined by the rank of the pair itself. Higher-ranked pairs, such as a pair of aces, are stronger than lower-ranked pairs, like a pair of twos. If two players have the same pair, the strength of their hands is then determined by the ranks of their other cards.
In poker, two pair beats one pair. Therefore, a hand with two pair of number cards would win against one pair of aces. The hierarchy of poker hands places higher value on the number of pairs, making the two pair the stronger hand in this scenario.
The best hands in Texas Hold'em are a pair of aces, a pair of kings, a pair of queens, or a pair of jacks. These hands give you a strong starting position and increase your chances of winning the game. They can help you win by giving you a higher probability of having a winning hand compared to your opponents.

The kicker is used as a tie breaker when two players hold the same hand. e.g. You and I both have a pair of Kings, but you have an Ace with your King and I only have a Jack. Then you win the pot because you have the higher kicker. In Texas Hold Em You count down 5 kickers (because a poker hand only consists of 5 cards) so if we have the same kickers off the board it is a split pot.
