Hi there,
I am looking for confirmation on what this poker term means and what the equivalent in German is:
Queen high of better
Unfortunately, there is no context, so I am not entirely sure if this is the correct term or if it's meant to read 'high or better' as in the winner is who has at least a queen or higher ... ?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

höchste Karte oder besser
My thought was also that it should be "<card value> high oR better" as refers to the hand value required to win a hand. The R and F keys are adjacent so this is very likely. To be safe, double-check with your client if possible.
So this means if a player has queen high or a better hand (ace high, 1 pair, 2 pair etc.) he wins.
You could also switch my suggestion around and say "Höchste Karte <card value> oder besser" but personally I prefer my first suggestion.

As another option you can also say "Hohe Karte <card value> oder besser". I think it boils down to preference but comments regarding this are greatly appreciated.
