Message: [QUOTE="flytyerjsb, post: 1608411, member: 73784"] :)In NLH. maybe I can sum it up like this: The best 5 cards win (period). It can be with one of your cards and 4 community cards, two of your cads and 3 of the community cards or all five of the community cards. Once the five cards have been figured out then your and the other player's cards are irrelevant. This is assuming that you understand the concept of the "best 5 cards". It has been explained in detail in the above posts. When I first started playing and a hand came up that I lost and thought I had won, I wondered about this as well until I got some help by asking questions etc and then I finally figured it out. One case in point. I was heads up and both of us had the same 2 pairs. I lost because the other player had the higher 5th card. I did not understand this (at the time) and went ballistic.I now understand about the best (5th) card. Hope this helps.:cool::cool: [/QUOTE]
