Likewise, two hands that have identical pairs would be decided by the fifth card. Note that if two hands contain the same high pair, then the ranking of the next card in the hands determines which one wins. In such a case, the tied players split the pot. Two hands that are identical, card for card, are tied since the suits have no relative rank in Poker. When more than one player has no pair, the hands are rated by the highest card each hand contains, so that an ace-high hand beats a king-high hand, and so on. High Card / No Pair – This very common hand contains “nothing.” None of the five cards pair up, nor are all five cards of the same suit or consecutive in rank. One Pair – Any pair with the other three cards being of different rank. The highest pair of the two make out the rank of the two-pair. Two Pairs – Any pair of one rank and another pair of a different rank, such as Q, Q, 7, 7, 4. Three of a Kind – Any three cards of the same rank, and the other two cards each of a different rank, such as three jacks, a seven, and a four. The Ace count as either a high or a low card. Straight – Any five consecutive cards of different suits. The highest card of the five makes out the rank of the flush. An example is Q, 10, 7, 6, and 2 of clubs. If two players share the same Four of a Kind, the fifth card will decide who wins the pot, the bigger card the better.įull House – Any three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as three 8s and two 4s, or three aces and two 6s.įlush – Any five cards of the same suit, but not all in sequence. It does not matter what the fifth, unmatched card is. Straight Flush – Any straight with all five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 of hearts.įour of a Kind – Any four cards of the same rank. The suit does not matter and pots are split between equally strong hands.
Royal Flush – A straight from a ten to an ace(A, K, Q, J, and 10) and all five cards of the same suit. Examples of five of a kind would be four 10s and a wild card or two queens and three wild cards. The various combinations of Poker hands rank from five of a kind (the highest) to no pair or nothing (the lowest):įive of a Kind – Can occur only in games where at least one card is wild, such as a joker, the two one-eyed jacks, or the four deuces. Except in a few versions of the game, a Poker hand consists of five cards.
