Poker hands

The hierarchy

• A Royal Flush is the top five cards…A, K, Q, J, ten…of one particular suit: all hearts, all spades, etc.
• A Straight Flush is five consecutive cards of the same suit…5 clubs, 6 clubs, 7 clubs, 8 clubs, 9 clubs.
• Four of a kind is four cards of the same rank…4 queens, 4 sevens, 4 deuces, etc. Of course, the higher the rank, the better.
• A full house is two of one rank, and 3 of another rank. AAA77 is said to be Aces over sevens. The three carded rank gets first priority. So if a player has KKK44, and another player has 555AA, the player with the kings wins.
• A flush is five cards, all of the same suit.
• A straight is five cards in consecutive order.
• Three of a kind is just as it sounds, 3 cards of the same rank.
• Two pair is made up of two cards of one rank, and two cards of another rank: AA33, 8822.
• One pair two cards of same rank.
• High card.
