Both players has full house, who should win?

Question

We were playing texas hold'em and the cards on the table ended with 3 jacks and a couple of 4's.

On my hand was a pair of six. My opponent had a 4 and an 8. The other 2 folded

My opponent said that I had no cards connected on the table so that he should've won.

Thus, I wanted to ask the experts here who truly should've won.

You won your hand was jjj66, your opponent hand is jjj44. – Jon Jan 13 '17 at 06:07 — Jon, Jan 13 '17 at 06:07

Board: J J J 4 4

Player 1: 6 6

Player 2: 4 8

Player 1's best hand is J J J 6 6 (Full house, Jacks full of Sixes)

Player 2's best hand is J J J 4 4 (Full house, Jacks full of Fours)

Therefore, Player 1 wins.

You could have answered this question yourself by reading How to determine the winning hands in poker? - this question will probably be closed as a duplicate of that question.

Thanks for that mate. I prolly should've done more research but didn't know exactly what to type on the search bar so I apologize for that. Really appreciate what you did though. – Noel N Jan 13 '17 at 08:49
