How To Play Poker-Hand Rankings and card rankings

 ”How long does it take to learn poker, Dad?”
“All your life, son.”

This Post on How To Learn Poker will teach you about the hands, what’s the best ones and continuing off from last time! Let’s get started on lesson 2 of How To Play Poker!

When the dealer has completed dealing out the cards on the board you make your best cards using only 5 cards. Both of none of the cards in your hand and the cards of the board (Community Cards).  Now to see what cards are the best and what cards are the worst.

The Best to Worst cards are:

A, K ,Q ,J ,10 ,9 ,8 ,7 ,6 ,5 ,4 ,3 ,2.

Now the different combo’s of these cards:

The Worst is a high card: e.g. A 8 5 3 K.

Then it goes to the basic pair: e.g. A 2 K Q Q.

Then the two pair: e.g. A A K K Q.

Then the 3 of a kind: e.g. 2 2 2 K 3.

Then the straight: e.g. 5 6 7 8 9 (This can go with the Ace acting as a 1 or as the highest) e.g. A 2 3 4 5 (but you can’t intersect the High’s and the Low’s) e.g. Q K A 2 3.               but you can go. A K Q J 10

Then the Flush: e.g. Heart, Heart, Heart, Heart, Heart. 5 cards all of the same suit (doesn’t need to be straight.)

Full House: e.g. A A A K K.

Four of a Kind: e.g. A A A A K.

Straight Flush: e.g. 4 5 6 7 8 all of spades.

The best hand in the game, The Straight Flush! A K Q J 10 all of the same suit.

The higher the pairs, 3 of a kind’s, Flushes, Straights, Full Houses, 4 of a Kind’s and Straight Flushes the better it is.

E.G. a pair of 10’s would beat a pair of 3’s. Also a 3 4 5 6 7 would be worse than a 6 7 8 9 10. With the flushes a flush with the cards: 7 8 9 10 K would be worse than a flush with A 2 4 5 6.
