I have a question on TX.Holem game. If there is only 2 players
left in the game, and on the board all 5 cards are showen as a’
high straight. Do you have to use your 2 hand dealt cards to win or do you split the pot. Does your opponent have to call her way of winning? I thought you had to use your 2 dealt hands regardless of what is showing on the board. Please help!

In Texas Holdem, you are not required you use your two hole cards. The object is to make the five card hand. If your best five card hand is the five cards on the board, then you will not use your hole cards. In your scenario, this is a split pot. Your opponent does not have to call her hand. In most modern poker games, cards speak. However, you both will need to show your hole cards in order to receive the pot in most casinos.
