Ranking Hands for Poker
In playing poker, for the newbies, a very frustrating part is discerning if this hand is stronger than this or that. Here is the ranking of the poker hands, from highest to lowest.
# Royal flush- 10 through ace, all of a similar suit, whatever suit it is would not matter.
# Straight flush- any 5 cards of similar suit in consecutive sequence.
# Four of a Kind- example- four Qs.
# Full House- among all ranking hands for poker, this is a member of the elite "class", yet it would come up more frequently than a newbie might think or presume. This is any 3 cards of equal value, plus any kind of pair.
# Flush- any set of non-consecutive whose suit is similar.
# Straight- 5 consecutive of differing suits.
# Three of a Kind- any 3 cards of equal worth.
# Two pair- two cards of equal denomination, if two competitors have tied pairs (both), high card would be the tie-breaker.
# Pair- 2 cards of equal value, enough said.
# High card- assuming no kind of hand is formed, the biggest card in the set would claim the win.Social Bookmarking
