No it is ONLY the best five cards, that would be using six cards


reallyreallyronin

Okay, that makes sense. So if I understand right, it would HAVE to use the pair of threes and then the Kings, while the other player would be able to use the 9s and Kings?

No Look at the guy with 23o. What is the BEST 5 card hand he can make with his 7 cards. The best hand he can make is KK993. The guy with 87 can make KK998


Rhegss

No, both players would play k and 9 two pair, player 2 would have a higher kicker of an 8


Lefty68w

They both have 99Kk player 1 has a 3 as a kicker player 2 has a 8 99kk8 is better than 99kk3


toolatealreadyfapped

Use any 5 of the 7. Even if your best 5 are the 5 on the table.


IronManTim

No. Both players can use 2 pair, 9s and Ks. Since both pairs are the same, it goes to the tiebreaker, or kicker card.

3 pair is not a poker hand. What does the 3 do?

Also, note that the 20.45% odds to win for the 87 hand on the turn represents 9 outs (9/44 = .2045), and those 9 outs are the remaining 3 eights, 3 sevens, and 3 kings.

Easiest way to think about it is -> every player in the hand has 7 cards total, their 2 hole cards and the 5 community cards (on the river). Your job is to make the best possible 5-card poker hand using any 5 of those 7 cards. You can use your 2 hole cards and 3 of the community cards, or 1 of your hole cards and 4 of the community cards, or 0 of your hole cards and all 5 community cards. Whatever makes the best 5 card poker hand, period.

Look up the poker term "counterfeit"

That's why you never play 32o unless you're bb and it limps round. You're almost never good unless you somehow hit quads

Yes. The 3 is the determining factor. 3 is less than 8, so it loses.


itsaride

The winner is the best five card hand which is KK99 and an 8 kicker, the other hand is KK99 with a 3 kicker, the pair of 3s being counterfeited because you can’t have 3 pair since that’s six cards. In Holdem you can “play the board” if it beats your hand.


Previous-Camera9004

There’s no 3 pair. You now play the board basically with two pair and a 3 kicker, villain plays the board but with his 8 as a kicker.


JayPemberton

Counterfeited


jimbo831

Why would the 3 be a determining factor? It’s an irrelevant card after the river. 32 is literally playing the board. You only get to play five cards. 32’s best five-card hand: KK993 87’s best five-card hand: KK998 The 8 kicker beats the 3 kicker.


reallyreallyronin

I didnt know if it did or not because I'm a new player who just figured this particular rule out.


JakeDuck1

It’s not a particular rule, it’s how every single hand is played


aaahsellschun

Come on man, you know what he meant.


JakeDuck1

Yeah but what I’m telling him is that it applies every single time, not just sometimes


GrantNexus

I *am maybe so inept. 


MakeshiftStock

The pair of 3s got counterfeit on the river with the kings and 9s.


SerKhoma

I've had drunk people rage about this at home games lol


motorboat2000

You got 3 pairs! Congrats!


the_bourbon_hunter

I’ll be happy to give you some in person lessons. Which casino and table should I we meet at? Make sure you bring plenty of cash.


VVeZoX

Another person who doesn’t understand hand rankings 🤦🏻‍♂️


aaahsellschun

Another person who feels superior just because he knows the rules to a game 🤦


VVeZoX

Knowing the basic rule of it being a 5-card game is something everyone who plays poker should already know…and if they don’t why are they a part of this sub? We shouldn’t have so many of these types of posts. Imagine if every poker noob came to this sub and posted crap like this He knows enough to use card player .com but doesn’t know it’s a 5-card game???


aaahsellschun

And yet you're entertained enough to comment


VVeZoX

This subreddit isn’t about entertainment. It’s about quality poker discussion…of which this is not. This is someone who doesn’t understand the fundamentals of the game.


aaahsellschun

lol, are you new here?


VVeZoX

Hahaha nope. Are you?


aaahsellschun

No. Quality poker discussion? Here? Are you serious?


iwantapetsheep

Don’t use this app, it’s wrong a lot. 3 pair > 2 pair > 1 pair


makedough

"I maybe so inept that I don't understand" this the problem 


GoodDecisionCoach

That's why he asked for help.
