Poker Beginners Guide: Best Hand Test (2)

State your best poker hand in the following Hold’em situations. Try to work out the answer for yourself before clicking on the ‘Show me the answer’ button:

  Hole Cards     Board Cards  
       

On this occasion you can again make an Ace-high flush, using A-9-6-5-2. You will notice that before the last card you had a Six-high straight. However, the 9 improved our hand from a straight to a flush.

  Hole Cards     Board Cards  
       

Here you have two pair Jacks and Tens with a Queen kicker (J-J-10-10-Q). Neither of your Nines comes into play. When neither of your hole cards are used in your final hand, you are said to be ‘playing the board’.
