royal flush A “royal flush” consists of a straight from ten to the ace with all five cards of the same suit. A royal flush is exceptionally rare and is therefore the most coveted hand in poker.

Read More »The board is 9♠ 6♥ 4♥ 3♠ 2♣ Both players have an ace, but Player 1 wins, because he has a king as his second highest card (kicker). His opponent only has a queen. If you can form a hand containing two cards of the same value, you have one pair or “a pair”. The hand above contains a pair of aces. A pair of aces beats any other hand containing only a pair in NLHE (aces are high in poker). The kicker would be decisive if an opponent also had a pair of aces. If you have two different pairs in your hand, then you have “two pair“. In the hand above, you have two pair, tens and sixes. The ranking of the cards is important. Two pair, kings and queens, beats queens and jacks, for example. And the biggest pair is always decisive. Two pair, aces and threes, beats two pair, kings and queens. (A♣ A♦ 3♣ 3♦ 4♣ is better than K♣ K♦ Q♣ Q♦ 4♣ ) If two players have the same two pairs, then the fifth card in the hand is decisive. (3♣ 3♦ 6♠ 6♥ A♠ beats 3♣ 3♦ 6♠ 6♥ 10♦ ) Three cards of the same rank is known as “three of a kind” – sometimes known as “trips” or “a set”, depending on the precise formation of the hand. You have a set when your hole cards contain a pair and one of the community cards is of the same rank. If you have 7♦ 7♥ and the board is A♣ K♣ 7♠ 6♥ J♦ , then you have “a set” with 7♦ 7♥ 7♠ . “Trips” is when there is already a pair on the board and one of your hole cards is of the same rank. A set is preferable to trips, because with trips you have the problem that one of your opponents may have the same three of a kind, but with a better kicker or even as a full house. A “straight” consists of five consecutive cards of different suits. The hand above is a “six high straight” as the highest card is a six. If two players have a straight, then the highest card wins. A “flush” consists of five non-consecutive cards of the same suit. It doesn’t matter which suit you are holding, and the rank of the cards is only important if you are up against another flush. The “nut flush” is the name given to the highest possible flush, typically ace high. If your hole cards are A♥ K♥ and the flop comes Q♥ 4♥ 10♥ , you have flopped the nut flush. If two players have a Flush, the player with the highest card wins. If both players have the same high card, the second-highest card wins, etc. If Player 1 has 3♠ 8♠ and Player 2 has A♦ 9♠ on a board of A♠ Q♠ 10♥ 7♠ 2♠ , then Player 2 wins with a flush containing the 9♠ , which is ahead of Player 1’s 8♠ .

Read More »A “full house” consists of three of a kind plus a pair. The hand above is called “kings full of tens” because the player has three kings and two tens. The rank of the card in the three-of-a-kind is decisive, so K♣ K♥ K♠ 10♣ 10♠ beats 10♣ 10♥ 10♠ K♣ K♠ . In poker jargon, a full house is also known as a “boat”. “Four of a kind“, also known as “quads”, consists of four cards of the same rank and one card of another rank. If two players have four of a kind, which is very rare, then the four of a kind with the highest card rank wins. If two players have the same four of a kind, then the kicker card is decisive. A “straight flush” is five consecutive cards of the same suit. If two players have a straight flush then the highest card wins. The highest possible straight flush, and the best hand in poker, is an ace high straight flush, also known as a royal flush…
