| lets say, theoretically, if there 4 queens and a 2 in the community, and i have a pair of 4's and the other player has an 8,9, who wins the hand, and could you explain? thanks |

| The 8-9 wins with four queens with a nine kicker. You only have four queens with a four kicker. It's your best five-card poker hand combining your two hole cards and the community, where neither those hole cards nor the community cards have more value than the other. |

| Its called being counterfieted. The same situation can happen when you hold a pocket pair, ex. 10 10, and your opponent has AK. If the board comes two pair higher than yours, let say Q Q J J 2, you've got queens and jacks with a 10, but your opponent has queens and jacks with an ace. It completley sucks when it happens, but its pretty rare. |

Yup..your small pair is basically nothing when the board pairs twice higher than your pair. Had someone call my all-in bet on turn with 3 high the other day. I couldn't blame him though, he was pot committed.
If the board shows 4 of a kind and you have an Ace, you have the best hand. Just remember it's the best hand you can make out of 5 cards. |
