| Poker Hand Ranking |
|
Pictured below are the hands of poker, listed in order from highest poker hand to the lowest.
The five highest cards, the 10 through the Ace, all five of the same suit. A royal flush is actually an ace-high straight flush. Which suit it is doesn't matter in poker. Two people with royal flushes would tie.
Any five cards of the same suit in consecutive numerical order. Our example shows a five-high straight flush.
Four cards of the same denomination. Our example shows four jacks with a deuce kicker.
Any three cards of the same denomination, plus any pair of a different denomination. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then the pair. Our example shows sevens full of threes.
Any five non-consecutive cards of the same suit. Our example shows a queen-high diamond flush.
Any five consecutive cards of mixed suits. Ace can be high or low. Our example shows a six-to-ten straight.
Any two cards of the same denomination, plus any other two cards of the same denomination. If both hands have the same high pair, the second pair wins. If both pairs tie, the high card wins. Our example shows two pair, eights and fives.
If no other hand is achieved, the highest card held wins. In our example, the king of hearts is the high card.
