    Default 2 pairs?

    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

    The cards in your hand has no 'better' value then the board cards, you can use any 5.
