two pair is the best hand type

argue with the wall

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

I’ve definitely had the most success building decks around it.

If you got Spare Trousers, for sure. But it's the most average hand otherwise.
High Card, Pair, Flush and Straight are stronger, scale better and easier to build around.

Uh. High card and pair are technically weaker and scale worse, on their own. But the difference is quite small, and the greater ease of play quite useful. (Though being able to score fewer cards without Splash can limit certain approaches.)

Why is this phrased like you're trying to start a fight?

edit: oh op has played less than 2 hours, yeah I remember having the same thought back then. Have fun learning!

the wall did not complain after my lvl 10 pair literally melted it.

edit: regular pair, not two pair - it's more reliable, hence preferable to level to me

9HSMAWYR is a pretty damn good 2 pair deck

straight is also good tbf, my second fave hand

Two Pair has excellent chip scaling for as easy of a hand it makes.

the wall on ante 7 will absolutely dumpster a 2 pair build unless you have trousers and about 15 planets and a xmult

you have just described the vast majority of scenarios in this game.

congrats.

we understand you need +mult and xMult to do well and win.

It is successful, yes, but i think i'd be way more worried arguing with the Eye than with The Wall, if you stick to one hand type.

Always have a second or third hand option even if it doesn't score as high. I remember i did make my first win with two pair, but later antes, especially after 8, the scaling will throw off things a lot.

two pair > everything else

i use two pair to trash extra cards while im looking for a flush

[RazzberryMocha]

Two pair is a pretty decent hand type. The only time I consider building into it is if I get spare trousers or I'd like to build into high card/pair but immediately need chips to keep the running going, otherwise high card/pair are pretty much just better in most scenarios.
