Straight Flush - Any five cards in succession, all of the same suit. (ie. 8-9-10-Jack-Queen, all of hearts)
You don’t expect to see these final two hand types very often, as they are exceedingly rare. With just four of each card rank in a deck, the odds of pulling a four of a kind in a 5-card draw sits at 0.026%. Our example hand, often called “quad deuces”, beats every hand in poker except higher four of a kind hands and, of course. The probability of being dealt a royal flush can be calculated based on the number of royal flushes divided by the total number of poker hands. It can be formed four ways (one way for each suit), meaning odds of around 1 in 30,940 overall – or just 1 in 649,740 of forming a royal flush with your first five cards.
4 of a Kind - Four of the same card, ie. Ace-Ace-Ace-Ace. The 5th card doesn't matter, and in case of 2 players with 4 of a kind, the higher ranking 4 of a kind wins the pot. 4 Aces beats 4 kings.
Full House - 3 of a kind plus a pair, as in King-King-King-5-5. This would be expressed as “full house, kings over fives.“ On the other hand, 5-5-5-King-King would be expressed “full house, fives over kings.“ In the case of two or more players with full house, the winner is decided by who has the highest “3 of a kind“ portion of the hand. 10-10-10-2-2 would beat 8-8-8-Ace-Ace. The pair means nothing, the 3 matching cards determine your rank, and in this example, 10 is obviously higher than 8. Sometimes, a full house is called a “boat.“
Flush - Any 5 cards of the same suit. A flush is referred to by its high card. King-5-8-Jack-2 of hearts would be called a “flush, king high.“ In the case of two or more flushes at showdown, the flush with the highest ranking card wins.
Straight - 5 cards in succession, any suit. In the case of two straights, the one with the highest ranking top card wins. Straight, 10 through Ace beats any other straight.
3 of a Kind - 3 of any matching card, 7-7-7, etc. The 4th and 5th cards are meaningless. In the case of two of these hand at showdown, the higher ranking 3 of a kind wins. 3 of a kind is often referred to as “trips.“
2 Pair - Any 2 pair, with the rank determined by the top pair. Kings and 2's beats Queens and Jacks. In case of a tie, ( two players hold queens and jacks), then the winner is determined by the 5th card, called the “kicker.“ Whoever holds the higher ranking 5th card wins the pot.
1 Pair - One pair of any card. In case of a tie (two players hold Aces), the winner is determined by who holds the highest kicker or kickers. A pair of 8's queen kicker beats a pair of 8's, jack kicker.
High Card - In the case of no pairs, the player with the highest ranking card wins.
