Review of hand ranking poker::How to Play Texas Hold Em Poker








I               grew               up               in               a               large,               extended               family               of               aunts,               uncles               and               cousins               who               liked               to               get               together               on               occasion               to               play               poker,               usually               for               pennies               or               a               nickel.

From               the               age               of               12,               we               sat               at               the               table               with               the               grown-ups               and               were               subject               to               the               same               rules               as               everyone               else.

Thus,               I               learned               very               early               the               game               of               poker,               and               will               pass               this               on               to               those               who               are               new               at               the               game               and               unfamiliar               with               the               value               of               particular               hands.

Whether               you               are               playing               stud               poker               or               Omaha               poker               or               Texas               Hold               'em,               five               cards               constitute               a               hand.

It               is               important               to               learn               the               rank               of               a               poker               hand               as               the               ranking               is               always               the               same.
               The               following               poker               hands               are               ranked               from               highest               to               lowest.
               1.

Royal               Flush               -               The               highest               possible               hand               in               poker.
               If               you               have               an               ace,               king,               queen,               jack               and               ten               all               in               the               same               suit,               you               have               a               royal               flush               and               you               will               win               the               hand.

If               another               player               also               has               the               same               hand               in               another               suit,               you               will               split               the               pot.

The               probability               of               making               a               royal               flush               is               extremely               low               which               is               why               it               has               a               high               value.
               2.

Straight               Flush               -               The               second               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               beats               any               hand               except               a               royal               flush.
               If               you               have               five               cards               of               the               same               suit               in               sequential               order,               such               as               ten,               nine,               eight,               seven,               six               and               five,               you               will               beat               any               lower               ranking               hand.

You               will               also               beat               a               straight               flush               whose               highest               card               is               not               as               high               as               a               ten,               such               as               a               run               of               six,               five,               four,               three               and               two               of               the               same               suit.
               3.

Four               of               a               Kind               -               The               third               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               beats               any               hand               ranked               below               four               of               a               kind.
               If               you               have               four               jacks,               for               instance,               your               jacks               will               beat               any               other               hand               with               four               of               a               kind               from               four               tens               on               down.

If               another               player               had               four               aces               or               kings               or               queens,               you               would               be               outranked               and               would               lose.
               4.

Full               House               -               The               fourth               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               a               full               house.
               A               full               house               consists               of               three               of               a               kind               plus               a               pair.

If               you               have               three               queens               and               a               pair               of               fours,               you               will               beat               any               hand               with               three               jacks               on               down               plus               any               pair,               even               if               the               pair               is               higher               than               a               four.

However,               if               your               opponent's               full               house               has               three               kings               or               three               aces,               you               will               lose.
               5.

Flush               -               The               fifth               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               a               flush.
               If               you               have               five               cards               of               the               same               suit,               such               as               the               ten,               seven,               four,               three               and               two               of               diamonds,               you               have               a               flush               which               will               beat               any               hand               lower               than               a               flush.

However,               if               another               player               has               a               flush               with               a               card               higher               than               your               ten               (jack,               queen,               king               or               ace),               the               other               player               wins               regardless               of               which               suit               he               holds.
               6.

Straight               -               Five               cards               of               any               suit               in               sequential               order.

A               straight               only               beats               any               hand               ranked               below               a               straight.
               If               you               have,               for               instance,               a               seven,               six,               five,               four               and               three,               you               have               a               straight.

However,               if               another               player               has               a               straight               consisting               of               nine,               eight,               seven,               six               and               five,               the               other               player               wins               the               hand.
               7.

Three               of               a               Kind               -               Three               cards               of               the               same               value               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               three               of               a               kind.
               If               you               have               three               kings,               you               will               also               win               over               another               player               who               has               three               of               a               kind               lower               than               a               king.

               If               you               have               two               jacks               and               two               sevens,               you               will               win               this               hand               over               another               player               who               has               two               tens               and               two               nines.

Only               the               highest               pair               counts               as               the               winner.

However,               if               another               player               has               two               kings               and               two               threes,               the               other               player               will               win.

               If               another               player               has               a               higher               pair               than               you,               such               as               two               eights               to               your               two               fours,               the               other               player               wins.
               10.

               If               you               do               no               have               at               least               a               pair               in               your               hand,               you               may               want               to               stay               in               the               game               if               your               highest               card               is               an               ace.
