Sometimes you will use both, sometimes only one and on some occasions none of your hole cards will be used.
A poker hand must consist of five cards according to the Poker Hand Rankings, and it does not matter how many of your hole cards you use. In Texas Hold’em, players make the best poker hands using their two hole cards and the five community cards. You therefore need to know the Poker Hand Ranking, ie, what beats what.
You can win a hand of poker two ways: either by forcing all of your opponents to fold their cards or by having the best poker hand at showdown.
