Poker is an ancient card game. Although its origins are obscure, it is believed to have originated in Persia. However, its earliest European ancestor, poque, was probably a 17th century French game. From poque, the English language gets its word poker. The game also evolved alongside the German pochen and the Spanish primero, and eventually reached the New World via French settlers.
Having a pair of a rank and another pair of a different rank
Having a pair of a rank, and another pair of a different rank in the same hand is called a “2 Pair” in poker. It means that two of your cards are the same rank, but are different suits. The probability of making a pair of a pair with different suits is extremely low, but it does happen. In fact, there are 123,552 Two Pair poker combinations in a 52-card deck, which is the same number of cards in the deck. Likewise, there are 858 distinct ranks in a 52-card deck.
