So I think I would have either won or chopped the pot with him, but I thought if he has TT it would give him better full house? Can someone explain why I would have woned if he had TT? I'm pretty pissed that I made this stupid mistake ngl.

For whatever reason I thought if he had Tens his hand would count as Queens full of Tens. Thank you for the answer.

Remember that we always try to make the best 5-card hand.

QQQ66 > TTTQQ

I completed this quiz a few weeks ago and also watched his video where he explained answers to a quiz. But for whatever reason I thought that TTTQQ is better than QQQ66.

Full Houses are ranked by whoever has the highest 3 of a kind. QQQ > TTT

Thus QQQxx is always better than TTTxx

Villain was ahead until the board paired the 6s OTR.
