best poker hands - from Strongest to Weakest




Poker Hands - Strongest to Weakest - Presented by AlamoPoker.com


A ranking of Poker hands from royal flush to high card
Standard five-card Poker hands are ranked here in order of strength, from the strongest Poker hand to the weakest.

Royal Flush - the best possible hand in Poker
Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10, all of the same suit. In other words, Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace of the same suit.

Examples:











Straight Flush
Any five-card sequence in the same suit (e.g.: 8, 9, 10, Jack and Queen of clubs; or 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of diamonds). In other words, Straight with all five cards in the same suit.

Example:





Four of a Kind
All four cards of the same value (e.g.: 8, 8, 8, 8; or Queen, Queen, Queen, Queen). In other words, Four cards of the same number or face value.

Example:




Full House
Three of a kind combined with a pair (e.g.: 10, 10, 10 with 6, 6; or King, King, King with 5, 5). In other words, three cards of one number or face value and two cards of another number or face value. If more than one player has a full house, the full house with the highest ranking three of a kind ("trips") wins.

Example:




Flush
Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence (e.g.: 4, 5, 7, 10 and King of spades). In other words, five cards of the same suit. If there is more than one flush, the hand with the highest card(s) wins.

Example:



Straight
Five cards in sequence, but not in the same suit (e.g.: 7 of clubs, 8 of clubs, 9 of diamonds, 10 of spades and Jack of diamonds). In other words, five cards in sequence. Cards can be in any suit. An Ace can be used in the highest straight (10, J, Q, K, A) and the lowest straight (A, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Example:



Three of a Kind

Example:



Two Pair
Two separate pairs (e.g.: 2, 2, Queen, Queen). In other words, if two players have two pair, the hand with the highest pair wins. If they have the same high pair, whoever has the second highest pair wins. If they have the same two pair, whoever has the highest fifth card ("kicker") wins.

Example:



Pair
Two cards of the same value (e.g.: 7, 7). In other words, two cards of the same number or face value. If two players have the same pair, the highest outside card(s) wins.



High Card
If a Poker hand contains none of the above combinations, it's valued by the highest card in it. In other words, the hand with the highest card(s) wins.

Attorney general's opinion ends Beaufort poker game

The Play
Play proceeds clockwise. One player volunteers to start the first round and five cards are dealt to this player only. The player examines his hand without showing it, and declares a poker hand (see below for details of the possible declarations). The second player (the player to the left of the first player) has two options:
he may accept it, saying "OK", or "yes", or "I'll take it", etc.
he may challenge it, saying "liar!", or " I doubt it!", or "bullshit!", or "go to hell! " etc. (Most often he will accept at this early stage of the game)
If the second player challenges, there are two cases:
The first player's declaration was genuine in the sense that his hand contains the combination he declared. He proves it by showing sufficient of his cards to everybody to prove that he has what he claimed. The doubter loses one point.
The first player's declaration was fake, in the sense that his hand does not contain the cards he claimed, so he surrenders by giving his hand back to the dealer, and loses a point. Like a player who "folds" at real poker, he is not required to show his hand.
If the second player accepts the declaration, the first player passes the hand to him, of course without showing it to the other players. The second player examines the hand, and may try to improve it by exchanging from 0 to 4 cards, just as in Draw Poker, by discarding that number of cards, and receiving replacement cards from the dealer. Then he must declare a poker hand higher than that previously declared, whether it was genuine or not (see below for details of what counts as higher). The third player (the next player in rotation) may either accept this declaration by saying "OK", or challenge it by saying "liar".
The round continues clockwise as long as players say "OK", with the cards being passed around the table and the declarations going always up and up. When a round is interrupted by a player doubting, the player who loses the point has the advantage of starting the next round; the cards are shuffled and a new five card hand is dealt to this player. The player who starts a round may not draw cards at his first turn - he must immediately declare a hand.
The game continues until one player has reached an agreed number of penalty points, and loses.
