Like several other games we know, Poker has sets of procedures to be followed at the same time. Since poker is a card game, avid gamers of this game should have understanding of the different hand rankings in poker. These hand rankings in poker figure out who would grab the pot money on the table. Each table has a pack of cards. Each rank is from Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three and Two. Most of the time, in casinos or in poker events, the suits of each card has no effect with its rankings. Even so, the suits are often use to separate the allocation of seats for the gamers, when splitting a pot or knowing who to bet first.

You are going to recognize five cards that complete a poker hand. These are sorted from highest to lowest. Any hand that beats hand in a lower group wins the round. As an example, four of a kind beats 3 of a kind. However, hands in the same class is going to be ranked individually and review which has a better suit. Finding it complicated? Don\’t worry; even more of this topic will be tackled below, are you ready for the top hands in poker?

*Royal Flush – this is the top hand in any poker variant and as well, tricky card combination to have. You can only have this kind of combination if you\’ve got an Ace to 10 cards of the same suit.

*Straight Flush – both straight flush and royal flush are followed in sequence and should be in same suit. However, if we will speak about straight flush, it is a combination of 5 cards in sequence and of the same suit but not needing to have a top card of Ace. Any combination of five cards in same suit will work. For example, Ace-2-3-4-5 or Nine-Ten-Jack-Queen-King will do.

*Four Of A Kind – this will be defined if you\’re having four cards of the same rank. So as an example, 4 Kings, 4 Aces, 4 Jacks given that it has the same suit. The 5th card is called the kicker.

*Full House – same goes with 4 of a kind, but full house include only 3 cards of one rank and another pair of card of different suit. Let\’s say for example that you have three Sevens and two Eights, three Kings and two Aces. That\’s how we are going to determine a Full House.

*Flush – Flush are also similar to straight flash. It has 5 cards of same suits but in flush, the ranks are not in sequence.

*Straight – unlike to straight flush that needs to be in series and on the same suit, straight are also in sequence but of different suits. For instance, Ten of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, Eight of Diamonds, Nine of Clubs and Queen of Spades.

*Three Of A Kind – this is basically having three cards of same rank plus two cards having different suits and ranks.

*2 Pairs – 2 pairs are simply 5 hand cards with 2 pairs of cards. Examples are Jack of Spade, Jack of Spade and Queen of Hearts, Queen of Hearts.

*Pair – similar to two pairs, but pair is just a hand with 1 pair of cards and the remaining 3 cards are of different suits and ranks.

*Nothing – this occurs if you don\’t get any kind of combination from the above.
