Poker Hand Rankings
Understanding poker hand rankings is essential, as the strongest hand wins. Here's a guide from weakest to strongest hands:
High Card
The highest card in a hand. Cards rank from 2 to Ace, with Ace being the highest. After 10, the order is Jack, Queen, King, and Ace.Pair
Two cards of the same rank, like two Aces or two Jacks.Two Pair
Two sets of pairs. For example, two Queens and two Fives.Three of a Kind (Trips)
Three cards of the same rank, such as three Sevens.Straight
Five cards in sequential order, like 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen. An Ace can be the lowest (A, 2, 3, 4, 5) or highest (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace) card, but King, Ace, 2, 3, 4 is not a straight.Flush
Five cards of the same suit, such as five Clubs.Full House
A combination of three of a kind and a pair.Four of a Kind
Four cards of the same rank, like four Kings.Straight Flush
A straight with all five cards of the same suit.Royal Flush
The perfect straight flush with 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace in the same suit. It's the best hand possible.Tiebreakers
- Kicker Card: In ties with pairs or two pairs, the highest remaining card, the "kicker," determines the winner.
- Straight: The high card within the straight decides the winner. For instance, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 beats 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Flush: When tied, the highest card in the flush determines the winner. A spade flush with K, Q, 10, 4, 3 beats one with K, Q, 9, 4, 3. In games without shared cards like 7 Card or 5 Card Stud, different suit flushes can tie, as suits hold no rank.
Understanding these rankings and rules helps make strategic decisions and enhances your poker game.
