Compare the higher pair first, then the lower pair, then the kicker. Kings and Twos beat Queens and Jacks.
In Hold'em only five cards play. With three pairs available among seven cards, you use the best two plus the highest remaining card.
Beats: One Pair and High Card.
Questions players ask
- Can you have three pairs in poker?
- Not as a hand. If your seven cards contain three pairs, you play the two highest pairs plus the best remaining card as a kicker.
