Two Pair

Two pair is exactly as it sounds- holding two pairs. Please note that it is impossible to hold a “three pair.” Poker hands only consist of five cards. Even if one is playing a poker game where more than five cards are in consideration (such as Texas hold’em or 7 card stud), you only use your best 5 card poker hand.
