Poker hand rankings
If you are a beginner, you should first take the time to learn the ranking of poker hands. The following is a list ordered from the best possible hand to the worst one.
Royal Flush:
The five highest cards in a suit- ace, king, queen, jack, and ten,
all of the same suit. If you get this hand, put on your best poker
Face and let the money pour in.
Straight Flush:
Any five cards of the same suit that are in consecutive order.
Not as grand as a Royal Flush, but still a great hand to get.
Four of a Kind:
Four cards of the same number or face. This is still a rare hand
to get. Go ahead and bet high, in order for someone to beat you
they would have to have a higher 4 of a kind, straight flush, or
royal flush.
Full House:
Any three cards of the same suit, in addition to any pair of a
different denomination. If another player has a full house in hand
also, the tie is broken by which ever player has the denomination
of the three-card suit.
Flush:
Any five non-consecutive cards of the same suit. (Diamonds, hearts, clubs, or spades)
Straight:
Any five consecutive cards of a different suit. In this case, the ace
can count as a one or an ace. (Ace, two, three, four, five)
Three of a Kind:
Three cards of the same denomination. (Ace, ace, ace)
Two pair:
Any two cards of the same denomination in addition to another two cards
of the same denomination of another suit. (Two, two, & jack, jack)

Any two cards of the same denomination. (ace, ace)

The person holding the highest card when no other player has
any of the other sets. (Ace beats king etc.)
