There are 52 cards in the pack, and the ranking of the
individual cards, from high to low, is Ace, King, Queen,
Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2. There is no ranking
between the suits - so for example the king of hearts
and the king of spades are equal in rank.
A poker hand consists of five cards. The categories
of hand, from highest to lowest, are listed below. Any
hand in a higher category beats any hand in a lower
category (so for example any three of a kind beats any
two pairs). Between hands in the same category the rank
of the individual cards decides which is better, as
described in more detail below.
In games where a player has more than five cards and
selects five to form a poker hand, the remaining cards
do not play any part in the ranking. Poker ranks are
always based on five cards only.
Royal Flush:
Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace of the same suit.
Straight Flush:
Straight with all Five Cards in the same suit.
Four of a Kind:
Four cards of any one rank together with any
fifth card.
Flush:
Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence.
Full House:
Any three of one kind and any pair of another kind.
Straight:
Five cards of two or more suits in sequence of rank,
with the ace ranking either high in sequence or low.
Three of a Kind:
Any three cards of the same rank plus two other cards
which do not constitute a pair.
Two Pair:
Two cards of one rank and two cards of another rank,
and any fifth card.
Pair:
Two cards of the same rank, together with three other
cards which do not combine with the other two to form
any of the higher-ranking hands above.
