Poker Hands
| Hand | Description | Ranking |
| Royal Flush | This hand is the rarest in poker. It’s when you make a ten-to-ace straight all in the same suit such as A♦K♦Q♦J♦10♦ | High |
| Straight Flush | Five consecutive cards of the same suit like 9♥8♥7♥6♥5♥, then you have a straight flush. | |
| Four of a kind | Four of a kind consists of four cards of the same value, such as A♠A♦A♣A♥5♦ then you have quads! | |
| Full House | Also known as a “boat,” it’s when you have three of a kind along with a pair - for example: K♦K♥ K♣6♠6♦ (three of one, two of the other) | |
| Flush | There are four suits in poker (diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs). When you have five cards all in the same suit and not in a sequence, you have a flush. An example might be Q♣10♣9♣6♣3♣. | |
| Straight | Five consecutive cards of differing suits, like 9♣8♥7♠6♦5♥ is straight. An A-2-3-4-5 straight is known as a “wheel,” while 10-J-Q-K-A is called “Broadway”. | |
| Three of a kind | Whenever you have three of the same cards (i.e. A♣A♦A♥9♣7♣) you have three-of-a-kind. If the combination is made with a pocket pair and one community card, it is called a "set". If the player only uses one hole card and two community cards, the hand is known as "trips". | |
| Two Pair | Is when you have not one, but two pairs. The fifth card is your kicker. For instance, if you have A♣A♦K♥K♣7♣ you have Aces and Kings with a 7 kicker. | |
| One Pair | When you have two cards of the same rank and the remaining three cards of different ranks, it's called a pair. (i.e. K♣K♦Q♦9♣8♥) | |
| High Card | If none of the other mentioned hands can be formed, it comes down to your high card(s). (i.e. Q♥9♣7♠4♥2♦) | Low |
