Poker Hands Ranked Highest to Lowest
There are standard poker hand rankings for most poker games and those apply to all high-hand poker variations. No matter if you are playing Texas Hold'em, Omaha or Stud you will see that the poker hands ranking order stays the same. In the table below you can see all poker hands sorted from highest to lowest regardless if you play cash games or tournament poker.
You'll find a printable poker hand rankings chart below the hand rankings as well as answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about poker hands and poker hand rankings.
Hand Type | Example | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Royal Flush | A A K K Q Q J J 10 10 | A straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally. |
Straight Flush | 9 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 5 | Any straight with all five cards of the same suit. |
Four of a Kind | 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 K K | Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the "kicker") decides who wins the pot. |
Full House | A A A A A A K K K K | Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows "Aces full of Kings" and it is a bigger full house than "Kings full of Aces." |
Flush | A A 10 10 7 7 6 6 2 2 | Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible. |
Straight | 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 A A | Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight. |
Three of a Kind | A A A A A A K K Q Q | Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards - the best possible three of a kind. |
Two Pair | A A A A K K K K Q Q | Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair. |
One Pair | A A A A K K Q Q J J | All two cards with the same value are equal to one pair. Our example shows the best possible one pair hand. |
High Card | A A K K Q Q J J 9 9 | Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand. |

Poker Hand Rankings FAQ
-
Does a straight beat a flush?
No. This is one of the most common misconceptions in poker. In Texas Holdem a flush (five cards of the same suit) always beats a straight (five cards in a numeric sequence). A straight-flush, which is five cards of the same suit in consecutive order, beats both hands. -
What poker hand is better - two pair or three of a kind?
Three-of-a-kind always beats two-pair. The only “made” poker hand that two-pair beats is one pair. -
Does “All Reds” or “All Blacks” beat a straight?
“All Reds” or “All Blacks” doesn’t beat/mean anything in poker. To make a flush in poker you have to have five cards of the same SUIT. That means five spades, hearts, clubs or diamonds. Having all one color is not a poker hand. -
Does it matter if I have higher flush cards?
It does. In No-Limit Hold’em if you have a flush with an ace as the highest card and your opponent has a flush with a king as the high card, you win. The easiest way to understand who wins is to lay out your complete five-card hand and compare it with your opponent’s hand. If anyone has a higher card, that person wins (obviously you both share the cards on the board). -
Which suit in poker is ranked the highest?
In virtually all poker games, suits don’t count. Spades aren’t better than hearts, clubs aren’t higher than diamonds, etc. If you have the same poker hand as your opponent but in different suits you simply split the pot. This misconception is from other games where suits do matter. -
Are Poker Hand Rankings different for other poker games?
Actually, yes. For the main poker variations - Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw - hand rankings are the same. But for split games - Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud Hi-Lo - half of the pot is awarded to the lowest hand. For lowball games like 2-7 Triple Draw and Razz only the lowest hand will win the pot. Straights and flushes don't count in Razz while in 2-7 they actually count against you. -
How are hands ranked in 3-Card Poker?
3-Card Poker is a casino table game and, while it does have the name 'poker' in its title, it isn't exactly the same game. The poker hand rankings used are the same as in standard poker variations with a major exception - straights and flushes are reversed. That means in 3-Card Poker a straight BEATS a flush. -
What do I beat if I have 3 Pairs?
Absolutely nothing. You just use your two highest pairs. There is no such thing as “3-pair” in poker. -
Is there a difference between Trips and a Set? Which is better?
Trips and a set are the same hand: Three-of-a-kind. The difference is how you acquire three-of-a-kind. A set is made when your pocket pair hits one card on the board. Trips are made when you utilize two cards on the board and one in your hand to make three-of-a-kind. Because they are much easier to conceal when betting, sets are generally considered the better hand. -
What if there’s a straight on the board?
You chop the pot. That’s provided that no player has a better hand (flush or higher) or someone has a higher straight using the cards in their hand. -
What is a Four-Flush in poker?
A four-flush is when you use four cards of the same suit on the board and one from your hand to complete a flush. It’s worth noting this is one of the key differences between No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. In PLO you have to use two of your cards so you can’t have a four-flush. -
What if I have the same pair as my opponent?
If both players have the same pair, the highest non-matched cards (the "kicker') are compared to determine the winner. If both players have the same high card, the next highest cards are compared. If both players have the exact same pair AND the exact same kicker cards, the pot is split. -
Can you make a Straight with 4-3-2-A-K?
No. While the ace can make both the lowest straight (A-2-3-4-5) and the highest straight (A-K-Q-J-10) it can’t wrap around. -
Does my 3-3-3-A-A Full House beat my opponent’s 8-8-8-K-K?
Nope. When it comes to full houses the highest of the three-of-a-kinds determines the winner. In the example above the full house with three 8s tops the full house with three 3s. -
Who wins with Four-of-a-Kind on the board?
The player with the highest kicker. For instance if the board is 8-8-8-8-5, you have A-K and your opponent has K-Q, you win. (Your best five-card hand is 8-8-8-8-A, his is 8-8-8-8-K). If the board was 8-8-8-8-A you’d split the pot as the best five-card hand for both of you is 8-8-8-8-A. -
What’s the difference Between Four-of-a-Kind and “Quads”?
Nothing. They’re exactly the same hand.
Quick question regarding low hands: If the board is A-2-8-J-Q , which of these two cards would win the low? 4-5 vs. 3-6. Both players would play the low to the 8, but the question is do we play the low from the top down, meaning 4-5 wins; or bottom up, meaning 3-6 would win?
@Woodrow: Low hands are always evaluated top down. In your example 8-5-4-2-A (an 8-5-low) would beat 8-6-3-2-A (an 8-6-low).
I had a 3 of diamonds on a five card flush And the other hand had no diamonds in His hand who wins
@Ken – depends on the board. Lets say the board is Ad Kd Td 7d 2d and you have the 3d. Then the best 5 card hand you can make is Ad Kd Td 7d 3d while your opponent who doesn’t have a diamond can only play the board. In that case your flush is higher than his and you win.
But if the board reads for example Ad Kd Td 7d 6d then the best hand you can make is already the board. The 3d in your hand doesn’t matter on this board. You and your opponent play the board and it’s a split pot.
Hey
Which straight flush wins?
A2345 or 34567
Hi Johnny,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7 would win as it is the higher straight. The last card in the sequence determines the winning hand.
Thanks,
PokerListings Team
WHAT IS LOWEST HAND IN HIGH AND LOW GAMES AND ARE STRAIGHT AND FLUSHS CONSEDER,
@B1LLOCK: This really depends on the specific game you are playing. If you’re playing Omaha-8 or Stud-8 for example the highest hand is a Royal Flush and the lowest hand is A-2-3-4-5 since straights and flushes don’t count against low hands in this variant.
In Omaha I have aq26 Against kj56 On the board is 99775 who wins the hand?
@Brett: You have to use exactly two of your hole cards. So the best hand you can make is A-Q-9-9-7 (one pair). Your opponent can make this hand: K-9-9-5-5 (two pair) Thus your opponent wins this hand.
Dealer has 9 9 9 KA if I have 347JK or QQ889, 2456k,JJ1010K, AA23J,36810Q,2248A,3456Q will I beat the dealer with any of these?
@Brian: The Dealer has Trips (nines). The other hands are:
347JK (King High)
QQ889 (Two Pair)
2456k (King High)
JJ1010K (Two Pair)
AA23J (One Pair)
36810Q (Queen High)
2248A (One Pair)
3456Q (Queen High)
None of those hands beat Trips.
Who wins 4 7 9 2 of the same suit an a As of a different suit an the dealer has a straight who wins in As high
@Mike: I don’t quite understand the question. Are you asking who wins if the board shows a straight? In that case – unless someone can beat that straight – the pot is split between all players.
In seven card stud if there were 2 straight flushes with identical cards would the hand be chopped or would the winner be the suit detirmene the winner?
@Nedda, In that case it’s a chop. The only time suits count in stud is when the bring-in needs to be determined (if two players have the lowest card showing, let’s say a 2, the player with the lowest suit has to post the bring-in. Suites are ranked alphabetically: clubs < diamonds < hearts < spades).
in omaha if the 5 on the board were 3As,8,9 and i have a one As ,2,6,and 10 do i have 4 As or does one of my remaning 3 cards need to match the 8 or 9?
Hey Ronald, yes you need to use two cards from the four in your hand, so Ace can be one of them, giving you quads.
Hello all… question, please…
The board shows unsuited AKQ43. Player A has 109, Player B has 108. Does player A win with 10 & 9 in play as high cards, beating Player B’s 10 & 8 in play? Just wanted to be sure that both pocket cards are in play as high cards and not just one of the hold cards as a single kicker.
Thanks!
Hey Bob, the winner will be the player with the higher kicker – so T9
What wins when all players have a flush on the river? Is it a split pot or does it go to next best / highest run or card?
Hey Peter,
The player with the highest flush would win. Example Ace high flush beats King high flush – and so on.
7 card stud
each player has 2 pair
jacks and 4
9 and 7
who wins
When comparing 2 two-pair hands the better high pair always win. In this case the player with Jacks and Fours wins the pot because Jacks are higher than Nines.
Andrew AA IS BIGGER U WIN
If i have AA and 44 and my friend has 66 and 1010 who wins?
I need help plz pair of 5 and 3 straight 10 J Q beat 2 3 4 8 A
Does a hand of 3 kings a 3 and a7 beat a Two pair of two aces two eights and a 2 in high card poker.???
Split
Troll
There is no such thing as a small straight. You have to have all 5 in a row
It depends on the suits of the cards. With the information you gave, one player has 2 pair kings high, the other player has 2 pair 7s high. So the kings win because they are higher.
Depending on the suits, the player with the A 2 could have a flush, which would win. The player with K K can’t have a flush, no matter what the suits are.
Need help with a hand. In table cards: 5 5 7 7 6. Player cards: K K. And. A 2. Which one wins ?
Can u play a small straight 3-4-5-6-K. High straight 3-4-5-6-7?
the 4’s win because they have a full house, while the other has three of a kind
I am not seeing any five of a kinds. What’s up with that?
No, dealer has full house.
You split the pot. You can only use a max amount of 5 cards to make a hand, whether it’s from the community cards or from your hands.
10 d wins. Highest three of a kind wins
10-A vs 10-Q. On the board 8-9-J-Q-4. Who wins? Bf says 10-Q cause he’s using two cards out of his hand. I say split
Who wins this scenario dealer 8d&8h I had a 10d&Qh community cards are 5c,10h, Ad, 10s, 8s?
Not true. Only 5 cards can be in play. Here both players have the same full house , aces over 2s. There is no ‘kicker’
In this case the highest cards full house is considered only because it is higher, and pays more than 3 of a kind
Player 1 wins. Though both qualify for a full house, player 1 has the upper hand because he/she has a king high card while the other has a 2. King is higher than 2
Royal flush, straight flush,four of a kind and full house all beats a flush
Yes, because three of a kind jacks is higher than a pair of aces
Does a J-J-J-6-7 beat a A-A-2-8-K ? No matching suits on either hand?
what beats a 4,6,J,Q,A of the same suit
dumbest story ever
Who wins the pot on this full house? Player 1 – A & K , Player 2 – A & 2. Now the board 2-2-A-A-7
If there is trips on the board and one player has a smaller pair that he got dies his pair beat ace high in Omaha
is anybody can answer please?
what is jack or better?
Hi every one if player has ten d ace spade community is 4 spade 10 huert. 10 spade. 3 spade. 6 huert. Player 2 has 4 huert and 4 club who won
If I have a 3 of a kind with twos as well as a full house on the board do both the 3 of a kind and full house count or just the full house?
Can anyone tell me weather I have a winning hand or not please 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of clubs vs 3 x 9’s???
in a Hi Lo game, what is the lowest hand you can get?
No Tina. The dealer has two pair and you have Q-high, assuming the suits in your hand are not all the same. If you had all diamonds for example (it doesn’t matter which suit, just make sure they’re all the same one), you would win.
Hey Scott. Player 1 wins because they have the next highest spade. You always check the highest spade and if it is the same for both players (the A on the board), you go to the next one and so on until you get to the 5th spade. If the 5th spade is also the same, you split the pot. Remember that a straight flush beats a flush. So if Player 1 has A 3 spades and Player 2 has 8 7 spades, if the flop is 6 5 4 of spades, Player 2 now wins.
Hey Mat. If you have 77 and I have AT, and the flop comes AA7, I only have three of a kind while you have a full house. You would currently have the best hand. If the turn and river do not play out in my favour (running pair higher than your hand, another A, or a T), I would win. Is that clearer?
Yes house 6 beats a pair 9
You must see the cards on the table , the players might have a over pair . And if the table do not contain the next highest card like A or Q
P2 as he have 2 pairs with 10(T) high
If 6789A has the same suit then yes it does
All hearts 56789 (straight flush) wins a flush 610QKA
Depends on the suit , if your suit is the same for all 5 cards you would have a flash and you would have won the straight
Any four of a kind, full house or straight flush
Nope , you are wrong your opponent has 5 cards of the same suit which is a flush while you only have a pair
Can someone clear this up getting mixed information if one hand is holding pocket 7s set and one holding A 10 trip for example flop lands two As one 7. Who wins
Ok so in a flush where on the board is A J 6 of same suit spades
Player 1 has K 3 spades
Player 2 has 10 5 spade.
Does player 1 win bc of K or split pot bc of A on the board?
Yea, you’re right.
Thank you so much!
I have new scenario, but I’m going to explain why I think I won. Please tell me if im right. Thank you!
Qsp/Jdm (my cards) vs 6ht/7ht (their cards)
Community cards: 8ht, 10dm, 3ht, Qht, 7dm
The reason I think I won is because I have a pair (Q-Q) and they have a pair (7-7). My Queens trump a pair of sevens if I’m correct. I really do appreciate your help. Thanks
Your opponent as he’s having a full-house (5-5-8-8-8), whereas you’re having a set (8-8-8: the one on the board).
I have never played poker, but I do understand the rankings. I love playing 5 card cash scratch off, but I can’t for the life of me tell if I’ve won. Here is an example table on my card….
Qclub/Acesp(my cards) vs 5ht/5dm(their cards)
Community cards: 8dm, 9sp, 10dm, 8ht, 8club

No. 10,10,10,2,9 is a better hand considering its a three of a kind. 6,7,8,9,A has no value.
does 6789A beat 10101029
p1 Q3 off
p2 QT off
flop 5KK 7 Q who is winner??
It’s a possibility in non-community card games like Stud. Certainly not possible in Hold’Em or PLO, but it is possible in some other poker variants
Does my 3-3-3-A-A Full House beat my opponent’s 8-8-8-K-K?
…….
Are you joking? How would be this possible in one hand?
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE that in one hand two people are having two full houses in the format you presented. They will never have different full houses without sharing some of the cards. You have there: 3 of three, 2 of aces, 3 of eight and 2 of king = 10 cards. But this is IMPOSSIBLE. The community cards plus each player’s 2 cards means 9 cards, not 10.
Please, edit the article.
I do not know why I wrote that, lol, I don’t remember doing it…
Q2
No neither do. This is the hands weakest to strongest:
High card, pair, 2 pair, 3 of a kind, straight, flush, full house (which is both a pair and a 3 of a kind), 4 of a kind, straight flush, royal flush (which is the highest straight flush).
The next best hand would be 9 10 J Q K same suit.
No, it isn’t.
Q 2 is the winner. You take the five highest scoring cards. So each player has a two pair Ks and 8s and the second player’s Q beats the first player’s 4.
No.
K K 3 8 8 (4 4) (Q 2) who is the winner?
in REAL poker you play with 52 cards. There should be max 4 aces in one deck.
If 4567A was the same suit (ace-high flush), and your hand was not, it is possible.
you have to formulate you question better
no, nothing beats a Royal flush
Sb sits left to the dealer, big blind sits left to the small blind. A big blind is the minimum bet, and a small blind is half the big blind.
A flush is any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). “The Flush Guy” has straight flush
no, only 52 cards are used.
In poker if sb sits next to the dealer is the small blind and the other one next to him the big? How much does each blind have to bet?
are jokers used in poker
Anyone that can explain does 2 pair or 3 of a kind beat a regular flush?
Do four aces beat a Royal flush?
Poker does not use “wild’ cards, only children do, and the rules are not in stone for those types of hands…
Straight flush beats everything except a straight flush with a higher card at the end…
If you are playing poker, there is NO wild card. Stick to Uno, Rummy, or something kids play…
Clover? You need to find another hobby… That second hand is just Ace high, so 1 pair of two’s would beat the second hand, The first hand is a straight, it would beat 1 pair, 2 pair, 3 of a kind, and ace high…
You don’t know what you’re talking about, and you’re certainly not playing poker…
That is the lowest straight flush you can have. Regardless, it would beat most everything…
But six of a kind is possible!!
Nope, because 4567A is only a hand if they are all one suit, like all spades, hearts, clubs, or diamonds. Otherwise it is just an Ace high card. The 23456 is a straight regardless of suit. Flush beats straight unless it is a flush with the cards in consecutive order. Straight Flush is high, royal flush is highest.
in old good rules, poker is always better, if you have 4 aces it is impossible to have royal flush, same thing with 4 k or q… simple, highest card in poker has to be better of highest card in flush. so straight flash up to to q is better than poker of 7 but worse than poker of kings
I had on a online game a of 23456 and lost to 4567A. Is this possible?
Darla, just let logics do the math here. How many cards of the same rank are there in a deck of cards? Yes, 4.. So obviously having a 5 of a kind is just impossible.
Is there such a thing as 5 of a kind? I had four aces last night and because someone had 5 of a kind they won…there’s no such thing as 5 of a kind in poker!
do you play online for real money? hope not!
bullshit royal flush it the highest ranking hand
The second hand because jj99 plays and the Q is the kicker
The 98 hand because 99933 is higher than. 44499
Who’s does win here. ( 3 4 9 3 9 ) (4 4) or (9 8)
man i had royal flush of diamond in online poker game, and i bet all in , and i lost 30k to another guy with two pairs of six and four :/
If you’re playing any sort of poker, the dealer has a straight flush. You have a straight. The dealer wins.
Actually, the thing that makes the flush guy win is having the cards in sequence (89TJQ) & having all cards of the same suit (diamonds, in this case). This is a straight flush, which always beats 4 of a kind.
No. split pot
The 6 matched the river card so petrus has a 2 pair while the opponent only has one from the flop. The Petrus would win right?
five cards make a hand, so the 9 is the next high. you would both chop, both win &split the pot.
After a royal flush
Is a A2345 of the same sute, straight flush the next best hand?
If I have 9,6 in my hand and the pot is K,A,A,K,6…. Andy opponent had 9,4 … who wins??
Player two wins with two pairs 1010 A A, this is the better hand. Player two has two pairs K K1010.
K pair because it is a higher pair value
since the dealer has a straight with all diamonds they have a straight flush… in this case they win the hand… If they didn’t have all diamonds your straight would be higher…
Who wins in: 7 4 4 J or 7 8 K K?
who is winning the pot. On the board is 10 10 A 2 3 player 1 as K K 6,8, player 2 as A 7,8 J. wich hand is better.
Michelle, unless you have all of the same suit too, then you beat the dealer hand but if not then the dealer hand beat your hand.
Reed, the answer is yes, the next highest second card in the player’s hand determine the final winner unless it is match up again, only then can the pot be split.
Luis, yes, 4 of a kind beat a flush hand. But since the ‘Flush Guy’ has matching suit, it is consider a ‘straight flush’ hand which it does beat the 4 of a kind hand.
Heather, yes it does count as two pair.
if the board says A Q 5 5 6 and you have a 6 and 3 in your hand, does it count as two pair.
Does a A-A-7-9-Q or a 8-8-6-6-10 beat a 3-3-3-4-5?
does a 4 of a kind (7-7-7-7-J) beats a Flush
(8-9-10-J-Q) The Flush Guy Has All Diamonds Does That Makes Any Difference?
Texas holdem. Board has a pair of j with a k high. Three players catch a k to make two pairs. Is the pot split 3 ways or does the player with the next highest hole card win,.
Michelle: You need to tell me what game you are playing. I assume Texas Hold-Em unless otherwise specified. You can’t possibly have these cards if you’re playing Hold-Em.
Ok if dealer has 6 7,8,9,10 all diamonds and I got 7s,8,h9h,10c,Js who wins ?
James: You have J J 9 9 5. Someone else has J J 9 9 Q. You both have the same two pair, so you look at the kicker. The Queen wins it.
The river has JJ993 i have 55 and some1 else has Q2. who wins?
Caitlin: 6 6 6 J J is a full house. 9 9 A Q 5 is one pair. Full house beats a pair. (See the hand ranking at the top of this page.)
Does JJ666 beat 599QA
Pam: A A 6 6 4 is two pair. 8 8 8 6 10 is three-of-a-kind. Three-of-a-kind beats two pair. (See the hand ranking at the top of this page.)
DOES AA664 BEAT 888610
Chris: That is a common way to describe 10 10 10 7 7, a full house.
What does 10’s over 7’s mean?
GENE: This site seems to block any post with a URL in it. Even one that references its own domain. I’m not retyping my answer. Sorry.
GENE: Not clear what you mean by “full show”. If there is one card up, you are at the “Bring” and the lowest show card bets. Lowest suit is Club if everyone has Aces. If “full show” means “Fifth Street”, then best showing HAND bets. Worst to best suits are: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.

FOUR PEOPLE ARE PLAYING 7 CARD STUD, AND IN THE FIRST BET AFTER THE FULL SHOW OF FACE UP CARDS.
WHICH OF THE FOUR SHOWING ACES BETS FIRST? A)THE FIRST ACE DEALT. B)OR THE ACE OF SPADES. C) OR SOME OTHER ACE?
And joker is used for aces,straights,and flushes
You said nothing about 5 of a kind which beats all hands.
Grate good information
Jo: What was your straight?
Sooo ive been playing this poker app and multiple times have lost to either a pair or two pairs when i had a straight… Umm….? Watsup
Shay: First hand is 9 8 7 6 5, a 9-high straight. Second hand is A 9 8 7 6, Ace-high. The second hand is what is known as “high-card”. It’s at the very bottom of the list at the top of this page. It is not even a “made hand” (one-pair or better). The straight stomps it into the ground.
Does 5heart 6dimonds 7clover 8hearts 9 Dimond beat a hand of 6heart 7 Dimond 8 clover 9 clover A ace….which hand wins
Patti: Apparently this site does not allow messages with URLs in them. Search for the WiKi article that shows how to calculate the odds of any hand. Then plug in your “wild” card into the formula and see how it works out.
ramona: Top of this page. Straight flush is way above a flush. Both are 5 cards of the same suit. Plus the straight version is 5 cards of consecutive rank and same suit. Not four cards, not 3 cards.
If you play with a wild card and have 5 of a kind, does that beat a royal straight flush??
does a straight flush beat a regular flush

Does a royal flush beat 5 of a kind (obviously wild cards are involved.)?
A pair v pair of same number wouldn’t mean
A split pot… The other cards would come into play..the player with the best kicker would win
Tanner: The highest pair determines the winner in a full house if the trips are the same. So, yes, you are right, The highest pair wins.
Dan: If the King matches the flush then yes – and that would probably be the nuts. If the King does not match the flush, then it’s no help at all.
If two players have a full house with the three of a kind on the board, do you go by whoever has the highest pair in hand or just split the pot?
There is a flush on the table with ace high. If a player is holding a king does this come into play as far as the best five cards?
brenda: Usually this action is covered by house rules. There is no absolute rule for this in Texas-Holdem. Whatever the custom is where you are playing is the rule.
Generally, if a player checks out of turn, he will be held to that when his turn actually comes. If he bets out of turn, he must bet that amount when his turn actually comes. But if that amount is raised to him, he must call or fold.
If you have a player that regularly does this, it’s good to make your own house rule before play starts.
when a person bets out of turn, and when another person goes ahead and bets. are both disqualified from that round?
Adam: If one hole card makes your best hand with what is on the board, then you play it. If both hole cards make you the best hand with what is on the board, then you play them both. If neither hole card improves your hand with what is on the board then you don’t play either one.
The ONLY idea behind hole cards is that you are the only one who knows what they are. THAT’S IT. There are no other rules about using them. They are not “worth” more or less than cards on the board. There are no special rules that say how you use them to make a hand just because they come from the hole. You play them if they help you make the biggest hand possible to you. Period.
At the end of the hand, there are 5 cards on the board and two in your hole. That’s a total of seven cards. Shuffle them all around so you don’t know where they “came from” any more. Pick five of them to make the best five card hand that you can. That’s all there is to it.
Anyone who starts talking about how or when you can use your hole cards is trying to steal your money.
emad: Your hand is J J 10 10 A. Opponent: A A 8 8 J. Both hands are 2-pair. The Aces beat the Jacks. Opponent wins.
When does a hole card ‘play’?
Howard: Why not?
Which hand wins this?
On the table: J clubs 10 spades 8 spades A spades 8 clubs
My hand: J diamond 10 hearts
Opponent hand: A hearts 5 hearts
Can I use a wild card in spades as part of a four card in hearts flush
Anthony: If the flop goes all the way to the River, that’s 5 cards on the board. You have 2 cards in the pocket. You then have 7 cards from which to make your best 5-card hand. It NEVER matters where the cards come from. You can play all 5 from the board, 4 from the board and 1 from your pocket, or 3 from the board and 2 from the pocket. All cards are worth their face value no matter where they came from. That’s Texas Holdem rules.
In your first example you have A A 6 6 7. In your second example you have A A 7 7 Q. Both hands are 2-pair.
if you have A,7 and dealer flops A , 6 , 6 do you still have a 2 pair ? I thought you had to have it in your hand , for example A , 7 flops out A ,7,Q that would be a 2 pair
kamar: Full house always beats a pair (and 2-pair). Card value does not matter. 2 2 2 3 3 beats A A k Q J. It’s the entire basis of Poker: Make a big hand 1st, then worry about big cards.
HAND A is 10 10 10 6 6
HAND B is 6 6 6 K K
Both hands are a full house. This is when you start looking at card values.
HAND A wins because the three 10s are bigger than the three 6s. (IF the trips were the same, THEN the biggest pair would win)
Can a pair of 10 beat a K full house..
on board: 6 K 10 6 6
HAND A:10 10
HAND B:K A
Rita: Maybe you meant to determine the wining hands. I’m guessing at the grouping:
Winner: 2 2 2 10 6 A A 8 8 K 3-of-a-kind beats 2-pair
Winner: 10 10 J 7 4 A 9 6 5 4 A K J 9 3 1-pair beats high-card
Winner: 8 8 7 7 4 K J 6 3 2 2-pair beats high-card
Winner: Q Q 10 9 5 5 5 J 9 7 1-pair of Q beats 1-pair of 5
None of the suits you call out make any difference at all
Rita: Bigger hands or higher value cards.
What beats 222 6 10. , A,A,8,8,K

rlmolinaro67: Both hands are tied until the 10 beats he 4. First hand wins. (Nice to see hands ordered like that)
which hand wins-
8 8 K 10 9
8 8 K 4 3
Oh, because it would be a royal flush if it were a 10. Never mind.. 🙂
Hi – in your high card hand example, why do you have a 9 instead of a 10?
KTS: As far as I can tell from your description, the board is a flush of: A K Q 4 3. A 2 that matches the flush (same suit) will not help. It’s lower than a 3 so how could it? It does NOT count more because it was in his pocket cards.
If someone has a 5 that matches the flush, then he has a flush of A K Q 5 4 and wins because his 5 is higher than 4.
In ANY hand, it NEVER matters if the cards you use come from the board or the pocket cards. Cards are ranked at their face value ALWAYS. The ONLY exception is you can play an ACE as a “one” for a A 2 3 4 5 straight.
texas holdem
Flush on the board.
One player has same suite in the (2 card) hand.
Can he replace his card from one of the five on the board ( say the 4th one ) to claim the win
When he replaces his card, they still share the same top 3 cards ( say ace, king, queen ) but his card is a 5 and the other 2 cards on the board are 3 & 4. Does the player with the 5 win hand ? Or do they split the pot ?
Donna: Sorry about the wrong URL. See this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_probability
Donna: You will have to re-calculate your rankings based upon the wild cards you have selected.

Modify the formulas to account for your specific wild cards.

what is the ranking of a poker hand if wild cards are used
Thanks, same as I know.funny things happening ti me in 888poker, and it easnt only this.I will contact them
svilen: It NEVER matters where the cards in your hand come from. All hands obey this rule. No exceptions. K K K can never beat A A A.
All cards are ranked at their face value. No more, no less.
Ps:I mean 3 of a kind,not 3pairs
My 3Aces Versus 3Kings
Js I read on your comments that ot doesn’t matter how you make your pairs, or straight etc.. feom your hands or from the table,which how I know.I start playing 888poker recently and many unbeliavable things have happend,where I should have win,but I sont know why I disnt.now I read here that only foe a 3pair it matters how is aquired.how can a 3K beats my 3A
George: It makes no difference where the cards come from. You can play all from the board, 4 from the board plus one from your hand, or 3 from the board and two from your hand. All cards are valued at their face value. Each player can only play cards “…using the best 5 cards out of the 7 available to them”. Sounds like a tie.
My question…if you have the seven cards(5 in the flop and your 2 hole cards) in Texas Hold’ em on the table, and two people have the identical hand, except the highest card for one hand is using a 7 from his hole cards, and the other person is using a 7 from the flop cards, who wins the hand? Or would this be a tie based on both players using the best 5 cards out of the 7 available to them?
may: nine
I have a question
What if I have a Ingrid on a lfd inn do I win
Steven: The straight flush beats any other hand.
Is a straight flush unbeatable?
mari: No
So does 4aces win over straight flush
Elena: Don’t know why you are specifying “before” and “after” the flop – it makes no difference. Hand 1 is two pair, hand 2 is one pair. Hand 1 wins.
That’s the problem a lot of times with pocket Aces. It may be the highest starting hand, but it’s only one pair.
Question.. Hand 1: before the flop. Has KJ. After the flop HAnd 1 has KK JJ
Hand 2: before the flop Has AA. After the flop HAnd 2 has AA
Question… The winner is?????
Dado: Must have been a flush. If not, A 8 7 4 2 is not even a made hand and someone pulled a fast one on you.
I had a straight 4-8 and I lost to lo cards which were 8 7 4 2 A why was that?
some of the examples only apply to holdem. they are not all valid for omaha
Pete: A high card does not beat a pair of 9s. However, if I understand your description, the board is A A Q Q 9. No one can possibly have a pair of 9s. Whoever has the best kicker wins. It really helps if you specify all the cards involved.
