Straight On Community Cards, Who Wins

The three questions below are all related so I've grouped them on one page here:

Question 1: When the community cards are a straight and you have a player who has an A doesn't match straight and a player who has a six and eight as their hole cards and they match two cards in the straight. Who wins?

Question 2: The five cards from the dealer is a straight. Three players are left one player has an "A" and "3" the other two players have a six and a nine in their hand that make a pair with the six and nine on the table. Who if anyone wins?

Question 3: If the board has an open ended straight draw and both players have the same card that result in the straight but one has a higher second card but I have two cards that make the straight but don't result in a higher straight who wins?

Answer: Remember in texas holdem that the best five cards win. If both players have the best five cards available, they both have the same hand and tie. For questions one and two, the players will split, called "chop", the pot. When you have a hand and the community cards duplicate your hand so everyone else has the same thing, this is called being "counterfeited". Bascially your hand is nothing now since everyone on the table has at at minimum.

For question three, once again the best five cards win. It takes five cards to make a straight so whoever has the higher straight wins. If you all three have the same straight, then you all three chop the pot. It doesn't matter who has a higher other card since only five can be used. If one person has a higher straight and the other have a lower, then the person with the best hand wins -- the highest straight.
