Learning the basics of poker? Here, a list of standard poker hands listed from best to worst.
- Royal Flush: A straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally.
- Straight Flush: Any straight with all five cards of the same suit.
- Four of a Kind: Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind, the bigger fifth card (known as the kicker) decides who wins the pot.
- Full House: Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank.
- Flush:Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush.
- Straight:Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card.
- Three of a Kind:Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards - the best possible three of a kind.
- Two Pair: Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank.
- One Pair: Any two cards of the same rank.
- High Card: Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands.
