Player 1 - 94

Player 2 - Q3

Community cards - Q 9 4 2 2

Who wins? Is it whoever has the highest First pair?

Player 1 has two pair, nines and fours.

Player 2 has two pair, queens and twos.

Therefore player 2 will win, as he has the higher top pair.

ok thanks, for some reason i assumed the player who made 2 pair with his own cards would win as player 2 only technically made 1 pair

What a goon

yea but they both technically made 2 pair. You take the best 5 card hand out of your 2 and the 5 on the board even if it means you only play the 5 on the board.
This is one of the reasons bottom 2 pair is such a vulnerable hand. If the board pairs above your 2 pair then you are pretty screwed to a lot of hands

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 The cards in your hand has no 'better' value then the board cards, you can use any 5.
