Which Poker Hand Wins Calculator

“I have A-Q. He has A-4. The board reads 5-9-9-A-A. Who wins?”

As a Texas Hold’em beginner, reading the board can be tricky. You may not always be sure what poker hand beats what, or even what your own final hand is.

To help put an end to the confusion we built the ultimate Hold’em beginner's tool – the Which Poker Hand Wins Calculator.

 

 

How Do You Use the Which Poker Hand Wins Calculator?

 

  • Pick the number of players in the hand. Players 1 and 2 are automatically included; click "Deal In" below the greyed-out cards to add more players.
  • Select each player’s hole cards by clicking on the card icons below the table.
  • When all players have hole cards, click on the card icons to create the board.
  • Click the yellow “Which Hand Wins” button in the bottom-right corner.
  • Click the black "reset" button on the left-hand side to clear all of the cards and start over.

After clicking the "Which Hand Wins" button, each player’s best five-card hand will appear in the right-hand column ranked from best to worst with the winner at the top.

An explanation of what hand the player holds will show below the cards.  

The cards that make up the winner’s best poker hand are also highlighted in yellow on the table.

If two or more hands are “winners,” it’s a split pot and the chips should be split among the winners.

Make sense? Good. Give it a go; let us know what you think.

And if you're still unsure why his full house (666KK) beats your full house (AA333), drop a comment below and we’ll help you sort it out.

    they both play the board, both have a ten-high straight, so it's a chop pot.

    I was playing around with the poker tool that you have provided. I am having some difficulty in figuring out what the general rule is for split pots using the two player senario just to keep it simple. Or when does a higher kicker come into effect to win a hand. Seems like there are a few different senarios in winning with a high card versus a split pot.

    @tanvir - 3 months late I know

    The reason a pot gets split is because two or more players have an equally ranked hand. Thus, any time there is a split pot it is divided evenly among the players who have that hand.

    Only players with the winning hand get to split - for example, if two players have an Ace high straight, and a third has a pair of kings, the Kings don't get any of the pot. That hand loses, the ace high straight was the winning hand. The pot is divided evenly between the players with the Ace high straight.

    If there are side pots, split those first evenly among the players who were involved in the side pot who had the winning hand. Then determine if there is still a split pot for the main pot (the players not involved in the side pot may have had better hands, and would therefore win the main pot outright). If so, divide the pot evenly among the players with the winning hand - including those who won part of the side pot if they still have the winning hand.
