In a poker game, the player with a three of a kind wins over the player with a two pair.
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.
To effectively compare full houses in poker, look at the three-of-a-kind first. The higher three-of-a-kind wins. If they are the same, then compare the pair. The higher pair wins. If both the three-of-a-kind and pair are the same, the players tie.
In poker, a three of a kind beats two pair because three of a kind is a higher ranked hand. Three of a kind consists of three cards of the same rank, while two pair consists of two sets of two cards of the same rank. Since three of a kind has a higher value, it wins over two pair in a game of poker.
Trips or a set beats 2 pair
In poker, a full house is a strong hand made up of a three of a kind and a pair. To effectively rank full houses, you should consider the value of the three of a kind first, followed by the value of the pair. The higher the value of the three of a kind, the stronger the full house. If two players have full houses, the one with the higher three of a kind wins. If both players have the same three of a kind, then the pair is compared to determine the winner.
