Poker Hands
- 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:
Rank
- Every card is marked by a letter or number which determines its rank.
- The highest ranking card is the Ace (A).
- There are numbered cards (2-10) and face cards. Note that 10 can sometimes be denoted by a (T)
- The face cards include the Jack, Queen and King (J, Q, K).
- The Ace (A) can stand-in as the lowest card in the hand A-2-3-4-5.
- The cards are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
- 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.
