Poker Hands

You can't play a game that you don't know the rules to, so you definitely can't play poker without knowing the ranks of the various hands. Here is a quick refresher course.

low poker hand Low Poker Hand: The lowest hand you can get; no pairs, no trips, no nothing. In this case, your highest card (called the Kicker) becomes your only real hope.

pair hand Pair: Two of the same card.

two pair hand
Two Pair: A hand made up of one pair of one rank and a second pair of another rank.

three of a kind hand Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank, also called Trips.

straight hand Straight: Five consecutive cards, such as 6789T; when there’s more than one player with a straight, the straight to the higher card wins.

flush hand Flush: Five cards of the same suit. When there’s more than one player with a flush, the higher card that is not common to both hands wins.

full house Full House: A hand made of three cards of one rank and two cards of another.

four of a kind hand Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, also known as Quads.

straight flush hand Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit. When there’s more than one player with a straight flush, the straight to the higher card wins.

royal flush hand Royal Flush: The highest possible hand, a straight from 10 to Ace in the same suit. Also known as a Royal Straight Flush, or just a Royal.
