A non-pair is dominated by another non-pair if there if there is a shared card, and the rank of the opponent's non-shared card is greater the dominated non-shared card.Only three cards will help the Q-5, the other three queens. A non-pair is dominated by a pair greater than the lower card.In the case of 5-5, three cards only will help the Q-5, the other three queens. For example, Q-5 is dominated by Q-Q or 5-5. A non-pair is dominated by a pair of either card.Only two cards help the J-J, the other two jacks. There are four types of domination, as follows.
