Hand Rankings
It's time to brush up on those all important hand rankings. Here's a list of the
possible hands and how they rank, together with a short definition and, in the
hope that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words, an example image.
|
     |
High card
The highest ranked card is an Ace, and the ranking runs from the Ace down through the picture cards all the way to 2.
|
   |
Pair
Any two cards of the same rank, for example two Queens. The ranking of pairs mirrors that of the cards in general, so the strongest pair is a pair of Aces and the weakest a pair of 2s.
|
 |
Two Pair
Two sets of cards of the same rank, for example two queens and two sixes.
|
  |
Three of a kind
Also called trips, this is where you have three cards of the same rank, for example three sevens.
|
|
   |
Straight
Five cards in sequential rank order, for example 8, 9, 10, Jack and a Queen. An ace may be used as both a high and a low card.
|
 |
Flush
Five cards of the same suit, for example five diamonds.
|
 |
Full House
A combination of a pair and three of a kind.
