His full house (888KK) beats your full house (88855) Learn the rules of poker. 3 PAIRS IS NOT A RANKED POKER HAND!

Thank you for posting your screen name at Full Tult. Do you play on Stars also?

But he actually had 2 full houses and that should beat 1 full house.

Right?

I've been out of the loop for a bit, so maybe I'm missing some 5th level stuff, but this thread went way beyond my expectations!

Thank-you!

Yea, OP... they tell you in that chat box why you lost. The higher of the 3 card part of the full house play.

Your best possible hand was 88855, not 55588 (that would be lower).

Your opponent had 888KK. KK > 55 which is why he wins. Unlucky if that was all in on the flop.
