What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Hi there,
My friends and I were playing Texas Hold ‘Em Poker today and I’m not sure who won this hand.
My friends and I were playing Texas Hold ‘Em Poker today and I’m not sure who won this hand.
My cards: 4 of Spades, 10 of Spades
My friend’s cards: 6 of Hearts, 8 of Spades
The 5 cards on the table: 5 of Clubs, 7 of Hearts, 8 of Clubs, 9 of Clubs, Jack of Diamonds
I had a higher straight than his but he had a pair as well as a smaller straight. Who would win?
Thanks
Answer: the best 5 card hand wins AKA the 7 - J straight would win
