I have AK of hearts and a 6 and a 2.

Board is 444 J7 (3 hearts on board.)

I know I have a flush but don’t I lose to full boat???

My opponent had 67J9

Website said I won the hand with a flush?

In Ohama you MUST use 2 cards from your hand and 3 cards from the table when making hands.

You can't do 1 from hand 4 from table, 0 from hand 5 from table, 3 from hand 2 from table or 4 from hand 1 from table.

So he couldn't just make a hand with his J and 4 more cards on the table.

His best hand was J9 (hand) & 444 (table).

This is why you won.

I think I get it now. He MUST use the J9. Table is 444 he has J 9 he can’t have a full house because the 9 makes him use 6 cards. Wow ok. Thankyou very tough.
