Poker Hand Rankings
The order of winning hands:
ROYAL FLUSH
Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 of the same suit.
STRAIGHT FLUSH
Any other five cards of the same suit in order e.g. 3,4,5,6,7 of diamonds
FOUR OF A KIND
Four cards of the same denomination e.g. four Kings
FULL HOUSE
Three of one and two of another e.g. three Jacks and two 4s
FLUSH
Five cards of the same suit e.g. 2, 3, 6, 10, Ace of hearts
STRAIGHT
Five cards of any suit in order e.g. 2 diamonds, 3 hearts, 4 clubs, 5 diamonds, 6 clubs
THREE OF A KIND
Three cards of the same denomination e.g. three 5s
TWO PAIR
Two pairs e.g. two Kings and two 3s
PAIR
A pair e.g. two Aces
HIGH CARD
The highest card available of the cards. If this is the same, then second highest card etc.
In the above hands, higher cards win i.e. if someone has four 9s and someone else has four Kings, the four Kings win. With a Full House, the higher three wins, e.g. if someone has three Jacks and someone else three 9s, the full house with the three Jacks wins. In a flush the player with the highest card in the flush wins if 2 people have a flush. In two pair, two Aces and two 2s would beat two Kings and two Queens.
