Royal Flush – Five cards in the same suit from Ace to Ten

For example: A, K, Q, J, T of clubs

This is the highest possible hand you can get and if you are dealt this then you are extremely lucky and will probably win millions if you are playing in a world championship! Two or more royal flushes means the money is divided! Suits do not matter. The sad fact is that the probability of you getting this hand is 650,000-1!

Straight Flush – Five consecutive cards of the same suit

For example: 6,7,8,9,10 of diamonds

The highest card in the order determines who the winner is. For instance, a straight flush of 6,7,8,9,10 beats a straight flush of 2,3,4,5,6. again suits do not matter. The probability of you getting this hand is 72,200-1!

Four of a Kind (Quads) – Four cards of the same rank plus another card

For example: 6 of hearts, 6 of diamonds, 6 of clubs, 6 of spades and K of diamonds

The highest rank wins for instance, 3-3-3-3-K will beat 2-2-2-2-A. The probability of you getting this hand is 4,200-1!

Full House – Three cards of the same rank and a pair of the same rank

For example: 8 of clubs, 8 of diamonds, 8 of spades, 10 of spades, 10 of clubs

A Full House can also be known as a Boat or Full Boat. The highest ranking three of a kind determines the winner, thus a hand made up of Q-Q-Q-7-7/Queens full of Sevens would beat a hand of 7-7-7-Q-Q/Sevens full of Queens. The probability of you receiving this hand is 700-1.

Flush – Five cards of the same suit

For example: 3, 9, 8, 7, 6 of hearts

Straight – A sequence of five cards of differing suits

For example: J of diamond, T of hearts, 9 of clubs, 8 of spades, 7 of diamond

The highest card in order determines the winner, thus a J-T-9-8-7 beats T-9-8-7-6. Remember that an ace can be either high or low. The probability of you getting this hand is 250-1.

Three of a Kind – Three cards of the same ranking plus two other cards

For example: 9 of clubs, 9 of hearts, 9 of spades, A of hearts, K of spades

The higher ranking Three of a Kind wins, for instance 9-9-9-A-K beats 8-8-8-A-K. The probability of getting this hand is 48-1.

Two pair – Two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another same rank, plus another card

For example: A of hearts, A of spades, 9 of diamonds, 9 of hearts, 5 of hearts

The highest pair wins. For instance, A-A-T-T-8 beats A-A-8-8-4. If the cards are tied then the second pair determines the winner and if they are tied then the single card determines the winner. The probability of you getting this hand is 21-1.
