RANKING OF THE HANDS – Here are the basic hands, in order of the strongest to the weakest:
1.Royal Flush: A royal flush is a straight flush that has a high card value of Ace (Ex: A, K, Q, J, 10)
2.Straight Flush: A five card
sequence in the same suit. (Ex: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4).
3.Four of a Kind: Four cards of the
same value. (Ex: Q, Q, Q, Q).
4.Full House: Three of a kind com-
bined with a pair (Ex: 3, 3, 3, K, K). Ties on a full house are broken by the three of a kind, since it is impossible to have two equal sets of three of a kind in a single deck.
5.Flush: Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence. If two people both have a flush in the same suit, the person with the highest card is the winner.
6.Straight: Five cards in sequence, but not in the same suit. Note: there is no wrap around (it does- n't work if you have K, A, 2, 3, 4). The straight that has the highest card wins.
7.Three of a Kind: Three cards with the same value are considered three of a kind (Ex: 8, 8, 8). The three of a kind of the highest value wins.
8.Two Pair: Two pairs (Ex: 7, 7, Q, Q). The pair with the higher value is used to determine the winner of a tie.
9.Pair: One pair (Ex: J, J).
10.High Card: If the hand has no other combination (see above), its worth is determined by the high card. If two players have the same high card, the tie is broken by the second highest card.
