poker hand rankings
The hands for texas holdem follow the same as in regular poker
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. Our example shows "Aces full of Kings" and it is a bigger full house than "Kings full of Aces."
Flush - Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible.
Straight - Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight.
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. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair.
One Pair - Any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible one-pair hand.
High Card - Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand.
