Poker Hand Rankings

Poker Hand Rankings describe the combination of cards in a players' hand. Their ranking from the highest to lowest possible hand determines the winner. Rankings are based on the value of the cards and, depending on the hand, their suits.

Poker Hand Rankings
- No matter which variation of poker you're playing, the hand rankings will be the same. Even a lowball version of the game in which you try to draw the worst hand is based on the following system:
Suits
- There are four suits - diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs.
1. The suits are of equal value.
2. Suits come into play in flushes and straights. The type of flush or straight you have and its worth is dependent on whether the cards in your hand are of the same or different suits.
Rank
- Every card is marked by a letter or number which determines its rank.
1. The highest ranking card is the Ace (A).
2. There are numbered cards (2-10) and face cards.
3. The face cards include the Jack, Queen and King (J, Q, K).
4. The Ace (A) can stand-in as the lowest card in the hand A-2-3-4-5.
5. The cards are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
6. The rank of cards will help determine the winner of a tie when two players have similar hands.
Hand Rankings
- Just as individual cards have ranks, hands or combinations of cards have ranks. These hand rankings determine who is the winner of a round of poker:
Five of a Kind
- If you are playing a variant of poker which uses a "wild card," a "five of a kind" hand is possible. The "wild" card is typically a joker or a random card called at the beginning of the game. Five of a Kind is the highest ranking hand. It even beats the almighty Royal Flush.
Kickers
- When there is a tie between hands with the exact same cards, the "kicker" or the highest ranking card that does not make up the hand serves as a tiebreaker. For instance, an A-A-K-6-8 beats A-A-9-5-3 because the King is higher than a 9.
