Could someone explain this to me...

[Shocked]

I was playing Texas Holdem High and after a good rogering from the game (yes yes I know its mega high variance etc etc), I got the hand shown below..now perhaps I'm being completely stupid..but isn't that a full house..qualifying because I have a 6?

no because you can only
use 3 of the other cards
an your 2

thus 3 oak

The object of Texas Hold 'em is to have the highest ranking hand at the end of several betting rounds by making the best five-card hand using any combination of the two cards that are dealt to you and the five cards in the center of the table.

In this single-player table version that's true, though in standard Texas Hol 'em multi-player poker Shocked would be correct, in that none of your cards need be used, it's just the best possible 5 card hand out of the 7 displayed.

Woooof
