Royal Flush A Royal Flush is the best hand in a game of poker. It consists of a 10, J, Q, K, and Ace that are all of the same suit.

Straight Flush The Straight Flush consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence. For example, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 of Hearts. A Straight Flush made using higher cards will always beat one with lower cards. The lowest Straight Flush consists of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, with the highest consisting of 10, J, Q, K and Ace.

4 of a Kind 4 of a Kind is a hand that contains 4 cards of the same value (one from each suit). For example, 10C, 10D, 10S and 10H. A 4 of a Kind consisting of high cards will always win over one consisting of low cards.

Full House This hand contains a three cards of the same value (3 of a Kind) and a pair of the same value. For example, 10D, 10H, 10S, 4S, 4C. In the event of two players showing a Full House, the hand with the highest 3 of a Kind will win. For example, a KD, KH, KC, 2S, 2D will beat a QS, QC, QD, 10D, 10S.

Straight A hand including any five cards in sequence is a Straight. Like the Straight Flush, a high Straight will always beat a low Straight.

2 Pair This hand must contain two different pairs of cards that are of the same value. For example, 2D, 2C, 10H, 10C, 8S. In the event of two players having 2 Pair, the one with the highest pair wins. If both of the high pairs are the same, then the winner will be determined by the value of the second pair. If the second pair of cards are the same, then which ever player has the highest fifth card wins.

1 Pair This hand includes just two cards that are of the same value. The player with highest valued pair of cards wins. If both players hold the same pair, then the overall highest card of the hand is used to determined the winner.

High Card If players fail to get any of the hands described above, the player with the highest single card wins the game. If two players have the same high card, then the one with second highest card will win and if not the third and so on.
