1.

Royal Flush (10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, all of the same suit) - Most valued
because it's most surprising when received. It is a common misconception that this is
harder to get than any of the other set of 5 cards.
2. Straight Flush (five cards in numerical order, all of the same suit) - Can't contain a King
and a Two in the same hand (e.g. Q-K-A-2-3).
3. Four of a Kind (four cards of the same number and any other card)
4. Full House (three cards with the same number and two cards with the same number) -
ties are broken by the highest value card in the three of a kind.
5. Flush (all five cards from the same suit) - Numbers don't matter
6. Straight - (all five cards in numerical order) - Suit doesn't matter. Can't contain a King
and an Ace in the same hand (e.g. J-Q-K-A-2).
7. Three of a Kind (three cards with same number, two other random cards) - If the other
two cards have the same number, it's a full house (see above).
8. Two Pair (two sets with the same numbers plus a random card) -
9. One Pair (two cards with the same number, the rest of the cards are random)

editPoker Hands: In Depth

Royal Flush
The highest poker hand, an Ace, King, Queen, Jack and a 10, all of the same suit.
Straight Flush
A straight flush is a poker hand such as Q♣ J♣ 10♣ 9♣ 8♣, which contains five cards in
sequence, all of the same suit. As such it is both a straight and a flush. Two such hands
are compared by their highest card; since suits have no relative value, two otherwise
identical straight flushes tie (so 10♣ 9♣ 8♣ 7♣ 6♣ ties with 10♥ 9♥ 8♥ 7♥ 6♥). Aces can
play low in straights and straight flushes: 5♦ 4♦ 3♦ 2♦ A♦ is a 5–high straight flush, also
known as a "steel wheel”. An ace-high straight flush such as A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠ is known
as a royal flush, and is the highest ranking standard poker hand.
Four of a kind
Four of a kind, also known as quads, is a poker hand such as 9♣ 9♠ 9♦ 9♥ J♥, which
contains four cards of one rank, and an unmatched card of another rank. It ranks above
a full house and below a straight flush. Higher ranking quads defeat lower ranking ones.
In community-card games (such as Texas Hold 'em) or games with wildcards it is
possible for two or more players to obtain the same quad; in this instance, the
unmatched card acts as a kicker, so 7♣ 7♠ 7♦ 7♥ J♥ defeats 7♣ 7♠ 7♦ 7♥ 10♣.
Full House
A full house, also known as a full boat, is a hand such as 3♣ 3♠ 3♦ 6♣ 6♥, which
contains three matching cards of one rank, and two matching cards of another rank. It
ranks below a four of a kind and above a flush. Between two full houses, the one with
the higher ranking set of three wins, so 7♠ 7♥ 7♦ 4♠ 4♣ defeats 4♠ 4♥ 4♦ 7♠ 7♣. If two
hands have the same set of three (possible in wild card and community card games),
the hand with the higher pair wins, so 5♣ 5♦ 5♠ J♠ J♦ loses to 5♥ 5♦ 5♠ Q♥ Q♣. Full
houses are described as "Three full of Pair" or occasionally "Three over Pair"; Q♣ Q♦
Q♠ 9♥ 9♣ could be described as "Queens over nines", "Queens full of nines", or simply
"Queens full". However, "Queens over nines" is more commonly used to describe the
hand containing two pairs, one pair of queens and one pair of nines, as in Q♠ Q♥ 9♣ 9♠
J♦.
Flush
A flush is a poker hand such as Q♣ 10♣ 7♣ 6♣ 4♣, which contains five cards of the
same suit, not in rank sequence. It ranks above a straight and below a full house. Two
flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest ranking card of each
is compared to determine the winner. If both hands have the same highest card, then
the second-highest ranking card is compared, and so on until a difference is found. If
the two flushes contain the same five ranks of cards, they are tied – suits are not used
to differentiate them. Flushes are described by their highest card, as in "queen-high
flush" to describe Q♦ 9♦ 7♦ 4♦ 3♦. If the rank of the second card is important, it can also
be included: K♠ 10♠ 5♠ 3♠ 2♠ is a "king-ten-high flush" or just a "king-ten flush", while
K♥ Q♥ 9♥ 5♥ 4♥ is a "king-queen-high flush". If there is two or more players with exactly
same hand, the flush is the only one that can help you to win.

Straight
A straight is a poker hand such as Q♣ J♠ 10♠ 9♥ 8♥, which contains five cards of
sequential rank but in more than one suit. It ranks above three of a kind and below a
flush. Two straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights
with the same high card are of equal value, suits are not used to separate them.
Straights are described by their highest card, as in "ten-high straight" or "straight to the
ten" for 10♣ 9♦ 8♥ 7♣ 6♠.
A hand such as A♣ K♣ Q♦ J♠ 10♠ is an ace-high straight, and ranks above a king-high
straight such as K♥ Q♠ J♥ 10♥ 9♣. The ace may also be played as a low card in a five-
high straight such as 5♠ 4♦ 3♦ 2♠ A♥, which is colloquially known as a wheel. The ace
may not "wrap around", or play both high and low: 3♣ 2♦ A♥ K♠ Q♣ is not a straight, but
just ace-high no pair.
Three of a Kind Three of a kind, also called trips, set or a prile (the latter from its use in
three card poker[4]), is a poker hand such as 2♦ 2♠ 2♣ K♠ 6♥, which contains three
cards of the same rank, plus two unmatched cards. It ranks above two pair and below a
straight. In Texas hold 'em and other flop games, a "set" refers specifically to a three of
a kind composed of a pocket pair and one card of matching rank on the board.[5]
Higher-valued three of a kind defeat lower-valued three of a kind, so Q♠ Q♥ Q♦ 7♠ 4♣
defeats J♠ J♣ J♦ A♦ K♣. If two hands contain threes of a kind of the same value,
possible in games with wild cards or community cards, the kickers are compared to
break the tie, so 4♦ 4♣ 4♠ 8♦ 6♣ defeats 4♦ 4♣ 4♠ 6♣ 5♦.
Two Pairs A poker hand such as J♥ J♣ 4♣ 4♠ 9♥, which contains two cards of the same
rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus
one unmatched card, is called two pair. It ranks above one pair and below three of a
kind. To rank two hands both containing two pair, the higher ranking pair of each is first
compared, and the higher pair wins (so 10♠ 10♣ 8♥ 8♣ 4♠ defeats 8♥ 8♣ 4♠ 4♣ 10♠). If
both hands have the same "top pair", then the second pair of each is compared, such
that 10♠ 10♣ 8♥ 8♣ 4♠ defeats 10♠ 10♣ 4♠ 4♥ 8♥). Finally, if both hands have the same
two pairs, the kicker determines the winner: 10♠ 10♣ 8♥ 8♣ 4♠ loses to 10♠ 10♣ 8♥ 8♣
A♦. Two pair are described by the higher pair first, followed by the lower pair if
necessary; K♣ K♦ 9♠ 9♥ 5♥ could be described as "Kings over nines", "Kings and nines"
or simply "Kings up" if the nines are not important.
Pair
One pair is a poker hand such as 4♥ 4♠ K♠ 10♦ 5♠, which contains two cards of the
same rank, plus three other unmatched cards. It ranks above any high card hand, but
below all other poker hands. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs; if two
hands have the same pair, the non-paired cards (the kickers) are compared in
descending order to determine the winner.
High Card
A high-card or no-pair hand is a poker hand such as K♥ J♣ 8♣ 7♦ 3♠, in which no two
cards have the same rank, the five cards are not in sequence, and the five cards are not
all the same suit. It is also referred to as "no pair", as well as "nothing", "garbage," and
various other derogatory terms. High card ranks below all other poker hands; two such
hands are ranked by comparing the highest ranking card. If those are equal, then the
next highest ranking card from each hand is compared, and so on until a difference is
found. High card hands are described by the one or two highest cards in the hand, such
as "king high", "ace-queen high", or by as many cards as are necessary to break a tie.
The lowest possible high card is seven-high (such as 7♠ 5♣ 4♦ 3♦ 2♣), because a hand
such as 6♦ 5♣ 4♠ 3♦ 2♥ would be a straight.
