Hand
Rankings |
| Pictured below are the hands of
poker, listed in order from highest to lowest. |
|
Royal
Flush
Five cards in a row, 10 through ace, all in the
same suit. A royal flush is actually the highest
possible straight flush. This is the best hand
youcan get in a game without wild cards. Since
suits have no bearing in poker, two players holding
royal flushes would tie. A royal flush ranks above
any other straight flush. The illustration shows
a royal flush in spades. |
|
Straight
Flush
Five cards of the same suit in consecutive numerical
order. (An ace highstraight flush, as 10d Jd Qd
Kd AD, is given the special name royal flush.)
A straight flush ranks above four of a kind. The
illustration shows a five-high straight flush. |
|
Four
of a Kind
Four cards of the same rank. Four of a kind ranks
above a full house andbelow a straight flush.
The illustration shows four jacks with a deuce
kicker(fifth card).
|
|
Full
House
Any three of one rank plus two of another. Often
identified by the three of a kind. Three kings
and two 3s is a full house, often known as kings
full, and sometimes more specifically as kings
full of 3s. Ties are broken first by the three
of a kind, then the pair. So, for example, 4-4-4-2-2
beats 3-3-3-A-A. In community-card games such
as hold'em and Omaha, morethan one player can
have a full house containing the same three cards
ofone rank. So, for example, A-A-A-K-K beats A-A-A-Q-Q.
A full house ranks above a flush and below four
of a kind. The illustration shows 7s full of 3s. |
|
Flush
Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence.
A flush is often specified by its top one or two
cards. For example, Ah Kh 9h 4h 2h is called anace-king
flush. (Five cards of the same suit in sequence
constitutes a special hand known as a straight
flush.) A flush ranks above a straight and below
a full house. The illustration shows a queen-high
diamond flush. |
|
Straight
Any five consecutive cards of mixed suits. The
ace can be high or low.A-K-Q-J-T, an ace-high
straight is the highest straight, and 5-4-3-2-A,
a5-high straight, is the lowest straight. (Five
cards of the same suit in sequence constitutes
a special hand known as a straight flush.) A straight
ranks above three of a Kind and below a flush.
The illustration shows a 10-high straight. |
|
Three
of a Kind
Three cards of the same rank, plus two other unrelated
cards. The hand is often called trips or, in community-card
games, a set. Three of a kindranks above two pair
and below a straight. The illustration shows three
4s. |
|
Two
Pair
Two of one rank, plus two of another rank, plus
an unrelated card. Forexample, A-A-K-K-Q is two
pair, known variously as two pair, aces andkings;
aces up; aces over; aces over kings; aces and
kings; aces and. Ifboth hands have the same high
pair, the hand containing the higher second pair
wins. For example, A-A-7-7-2 beats A-A-6-6-K.
If both pairs tie, the high card wins. For example,
A-A-7-7-J beats A-A-7-7-9. Two pair ranks between
one pair and three of a kind. The illustration
shows 8s and 5s. |
|
Pair
A hand containing two cards of the same rank,
plus three other unmatched cards. When two players
have the same pair, the highest side card or cards
wins. For example, J-J-A-3-2 beats J-J-K-Q-9;
4-4-A-K-2 beats 4-4-A-Q-9; A-A-9-8-7 beats A-A-9-8-6.
One pair is the second-lowest category of hand,
coming between no pair and two pair. The illustration
shows a pair of 9s. |
|
No
Pair
A hand lower than one pair, usually named by its
high card, as, for example, ace high. When two
players both have the same high card, thehighest
side card or cards wins. For example, K-Q-4-3-2
beats K-T-9-8-7; A-K-Q-J-9 beats A-K-Q-J-8. No
pair is the lowest category of hand. The illustration
shows a king-high hand. |
