In terms of strength and rarity, no other hand could beat a royal flush. Ex: Ad Kd Qd Jd 10d Probability : 0. A straight flush is very similar to a royal flush.

In fact, a royal flush is a kind of straight flush. The only thing that sets the two apart is that unlike a royal flush, a straight flush uses a king or anything lower as its highest card.

Ex: Jc 10c 9c 8c 7c Probability : 0. As you may have probably guessed based on the name, this hand is made up of four cards of the same value. But since standard poker games use five-card hands, it includes a random fifth card to complete the set, which can then be used as a kicker card in case of a tie.

Ex: 3d 3h 3s 3c Js Probability : 0. There are two parts to this hand: a trip and a pair. A trip is just three cards of the same value, while a pair is two cards of the same value.

However, it is also worth bearing in mind that if you don't connect with the flop, then you just have ace-high. Other Nicknames: Big Slick, Santa Barbara, Anna Kournikova, Big Ugly, King Arthur, Korean Airlines, Mike Haven, Walking Back To Houston.

It's a classic poker saying that there are three ways to play pocket jacks, and all of them are wrong. It is still a very strong hand, particularly if the pot is unraised and you look down at jacks in late-position, though you can be a little more careful if an opponent has come in for an early-position raise.

Other Nicknames: Fishhooks, Brothers, Jaybirds, Kid Dy-No-Mite, The Two Jakes, Suckers. Pocket tens are a strong starting hand and a real poker classic.

They're strong enough that you don't need to hit a third ten on the flop to continue. They will still win against overcards every other time, though there are far more combinations where it is not as strong a favorite as pocket jacks.

If there is a lot of action before you, it is sometimes easy to fold tens before the flop. While this hand is an underdog against an offsuit Ace-King, it ranks higher due to its relative strength against other starting hands.

Sometimes, you will find yourself in a spot where you need to fold, even after hitting a pair on the flop. However, if you completely miss the flop, it's easier to stay out of trouble with an Ace-Queen.

Other Nicknames: Big Chick, Little Slick, Mrs. Slick, Rocket Queen. Sometimes, it is worth calling in position with this hand before the flop to keep the pot small and still get paid if you pair one of your two hole cards.

Like a suited ace-king or ace-queen, this hand can make a royal flush. However, it is one that is worth playing more carefully; especially if a player has raised from early position.

Any ace-king or ace-queen combination still has you beat if you pair your ace, so you don't want to fall in love with an ace-jack. Just edging out ace-ten suited and pocket nines, king-queen suited is a hand that is said to 'flop well'.

It can make a large number of straights and flushes, while just hitting one pair will sometimes give you the best hand. However, you should be able to fold this hand fairly easily if the action before you suggests other players are entering the pot with a strong hand.

This is the best hand in poker. It doesn't matter what suit it is, but all cards must be of the same suit. It's basically an ace-high straight flush.

If two players get a straight flush, the hand with the highest-ranking card wins. A straight flush beats four of a kind.

If two players have a four of a kind, the hand with the highest-ranking four of a kind wins. If two players have the same four of a kind, the winner will be the player with the highest kicker card.

A four of a kind beats a full house. If two players have a full house, the person with the highest triplet wins. If the triplet is the same, the person with the highest pair wins.

A full house beats a flush. Also called a full boat, a flush is any hand where all five cards are of the same suit.

They do not need to be in sequential order. A flush is ranked first by the highest card, then by the second highest card, and so on.

A flush beats a straight. A straight is a hand that contains five cards in sequential rank, but they can be of any suit.

If two players have a straight, the player with the highest-ranking card wins. A straight beats a three of a kind. Everyday Endeavors, LLC.
