Poker Hand Ranking
A poker hand consists of five cards. The categories of hand, from highest to lowest, are listed below. Any hand in a higher category beats any hand in a lower
In games where a player has more than five cards and selects five to form a poker hand, the remaining cards do not play any part in the ranking. Poker ranks are always based on five cards only.
1. Royal Flush: Consists of ace, king, queen, jack, ten, all in the same suit. As all suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal.
3. Straight Flush: Five cards of the same suit in sequence
4. Four of a kind: Four cards of the same rank
5. Full House : Three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank
6. Flush: Five cards of the same suit.
7. Straight: Five cards of mixed suits in sequence
8. Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank plus two other cards. If you have to compare two threes of a kind where the sets of three are of equal rank, then the higher of the two remaining cards in each hand are compared, and if those are equal, the lower odd card is compared.
9. Two Pairs: A pair is two cards of equal rank. In a hand with two pairs, the two pairs are of different ranks (otherwise you would have four of a kind, if both pairs are the same, the odd cards are compared,
10. Pair: A hand with two cards of equal rank and three other cards which do not match these or each other.
11. High Card
