I'm playing poker with my friends and we got into a discussion about the cards. We're wondering, what is considered the lowest pair in this game? Is it 2s, or are there other cards that would be considered lower?

If a player is dealt two deuces as their hole cards in Texas Hold'em, they begin the hand with a significant advantage.

A pair is considered the most basic winning combination, and among all pairs, the lowest one is a pair of twos, also known as deuces.

For instance, if your hole cards are 2♦ and 2♠, you already have a pair of deuces, giving you a strong foundation for your hand.
