card ranking

[steenaap]

Hello,

I read some rules on poker on the net, but there is never explicitely mentioned how a hand is assessed next to the hand rankings.

Suppose, two players show their cards:

On the table are some cards, two of them are an king and a queen

Player1: queen, ace
Player: king, nine

Who is winning?
- I tought that if both have a pair, one should look at the remaing card in your hand: so the player with the ace is winning?

- Or is it the value of the pair which makes it?

Regards,
Jeroen

Here is a link explaining how to figure out the winning hand in general:

For your example, highest pair wins.

ok, thanks! This is exactly where I was looking for.
I didn't notice that topic.

Kickers only matters when two players have the same pair (or quads, or trips, etc).
