What Are Poker Hands?

Many consider Poker a bit less of a casino game. This denotes a great deal of understanding needs to be attained in the game play strategy building. So if you want to increase your grasp on poker games, you need to form an understanding of the Poker hand ranking.

In Poker, the players form a set of five cards, which they call poker hands. According to the rules of the game, they have more than five cards with them. But at the same time, they are always focused on the best five combination counts. This is the ultimate aim.

You need to understand that there are ten different kinds of Poker hands. You can rank them from the strongest to the weakest. Please remember the poker ranks are based on the five cards only.

What Beats What? 

Now we come to the main section of the understanding or discussion, which is poker hand rankings. Can you tell which one is the strongest? We will discuss them here in this section. So let’s get started with the discussion here.

1. Royal Flush 

As the name suggests, Royal flush is this game’s strongest possible card set. It features consecutive cards of the same suit. They are in order starting from 5 to 10 in their ranking.

2. Straight Flush 

This is another combination of five cards that come in a sequence. You can call it the sequential value of the same suit. This combination is extremely strong but can only be beaten by the Royal flush. When you create this combination, you have a fairly good opportunity of scoring points in the game.

3. Four Of A Kind 

The combination constitutes the same card in all four suits. Here the five-card hand is completed by the highest card. This is also quite a strong combination and is considered a strong card. Only the other three described above are stronger than the two.

4. Full House 

Here you have the same value cards and in three different suits. Not only this, but here you have a separate pair of the same rank card. You get them in two different suits. Now that there is a full house, the winning hand is one with the highest value for the three value cards.

5. Flush 

In the Flush combination, you have the same suit in any order. Now that when two players have the flush, the one with the highest value turns out to be the winner. So, you can find it strong enough to score big points in the game.

6. Straight 

This combination is the sequential value, and it is composed of more than one suit. Here, with an ace, the ranking can be either high or low; they can not be in the same hands. You need to know more about this five-hands ranking combination.

7. Three Of A Kind

You have the poker hand that contains cards of the same rank and in three different suits. It gets completed if you have the two highest cards with your hand.

What Else?

Other than these seven, you have some other hands like Two pairs (sets of two cards of the matching rank). With a pair, you have the same rank in different suits. Finally, you have the High card. It has the lowest ranking. We hope you have gained preliminary knowledge and understanding of the cards.
