With two pair, the ranking of the cards is important to developing a strong hand, but suits are generally irrelevant. Two pair is when a player has two matching sets of cards in their hand.įor example, if your hand contains 10♣10♥9♠9♦Q♦, then you have a pair of tens and a pair of nines, plus a queen as your fifth card.
In poker, a pair is when two of your cards have the same ranking, like two aces or two jacks.
