Poker Question

Hello everyone...

I was playing poker at poker21.com and I've encountered the folowing situation:
My cards: 8-4.
Other player: K-9.
Community: 7-7-6-6-4.

The software decided that the winner is me because of a "2 pairs".
However, I think that my "pair" of 4-4 shouldn't count because it is not in the "best hand" I had which is 7-7-6-6-8.

But if it doesn't count than the other player also had the same "2 pairs" and should win because of high card K... Am I right?

Thanks for the help,
Dana

Yes your correct. Your pair is cancelled out by the higher two pair so the K kicker plays.
I would stay away from that site if it is doing this

Yikes. Kind of scary that a site could be live with software that makes such a basic error. What software does it use?

well said m8 yes i think u are right the other player should have won because he had the better kicker with the king your pair of 4s should not have come in to it but sometimes software makes mistakes so dont worry

That site sure pays out strange. The other hand should have won with the higher kicker. I sure would not of like to of been your opponent in that hand.

I would write an email to their support.

Have you got a screen shot of this? Any site with software making this sort of mistake needs closing down asap. And if it is the case, every player who has played at the site and lost (so every player) could claim there losses back due to the error.
