Full House Querie!

when final board is AAKK5 if I hold an A8 do I have a better hand than K5

when final board is A669K if I hold a K6 do I have a better hand than 69

Could someone help clarify what determines the better hand - completing the pair or completing trips with pair on board.

level?

the better hand - completing the pair or completing trips with pair on board.

straight flush >  Quads
quads >  full house
FH > flush
flush > straight
str8 > trips
trips >  pair

ah just saw the I'm new to poker post:

AAKK5   A8 = AAAKK  which is better than KKKAA  (AAA > KKK)  so  TTT22  is better than 999AA

K5 is 2pair and 3 of a kind, as opposed to the regular full house of just 3 of a kind and 1 pair (the A8 )

on hand 2, K6 is better because 3 of a kind 6's and a pair of Kings is better than 3 of a kind 6's and a pair of 9's

Keep asking questions mate, or you will never learn.

This site is very far from the standard 2+2 flame wars.  And that is one of the great things about this site.  Good, positive feedback (except when it comes to cricket)
