why?

 

[BlackTigers]

The seven should win, since it's the higher card? The highest card outside of the pair wins.

Assuming all of the cards aren't suited.

 

[DnetMHZ]

Assuming no flush.

 

[KeithTalent]

Player 1 with A A J 8 7

over Player 2 with A A J 8 5

[Rio Rebel]

The first one to move all in.

Seriously, assuming both players stay in to the finish, the two hands would look like this:

Player 1: A A J 8 7
Player 2: A A J 8 5

So player 1 would win.

What if this was the scenario:

Player 1: Queen + 2
Player 2: Queen + 3

board:
Queen, 10, 7, Jack, 5

Each player plays their best 5 card hand. Not hard.

Yep, both players must use the best 5 cards of the 7 they each have to build a hand from. If they both have identical 5 card hands as their best, it doesn't matter at ALL what the remaining two cards were.

I have seen some poker video games that have this wrong, but that's the way it is in any poker tournament or game with a respect for conventional rules.

EDIT : Some rules have suits valued as higher than others, so it's conceivable that in a game like that, the person holding the higher-value-suit Q would be the winner.

 

[sdifox]

never mind... was going to ask about suit

split pot.

In those scenarios, I always thought both would result in a split pot, since the high card each person has is shared, and cards below the high card don't matter, thus resulting in a tie in that view.
Maybe I was just taught wrong, or am completely forgetting how I was taught. It's been awhile since I played, and split pots were extremely rare, or someone in the same situation had a higher card than what had been amongst the community cards.
I love poker but rarely get a chance to play.

Each player makes the best possible hand available using any combination of the 2 cards they hold in their hand and/or the 5 cards on the board. This is why in the first hand Player 1 wins, and in the second hand it is a draw. If, in the first scenario you replace the 4 with, say, a 9, then it would be a draw as both players would have A A J 9 8.

split pots are most common with 2 players heads up with each Ace+rag(7 or less)
