Summary of poker hand values High Card - Pair - Two Pair - Three of a Kind - Straight - Flush - Full House - Four of a kind - Straight Flush - Royal Flush High Card | If no one has any of the other hands then the highest card hand is the strongest. |
Pair | Two cards with the same value on them. I.e. (Ace-Ace, makes a pair of Aces). |
Two Pair | Two pairs as above but with two pair. The person with the higher of the two pairs wins. So (Ace-Ace + Eight-Eight beats King-King + Ten -Ten) |
Three of a Kind | Three of the same card. (Ace-Ace-Ace, makes three of a kind Aces) |
Straight | A run of 5 cards that are in sequential order but can be mixed suits (Six-Seven-Eight-Nine-Ten, makes a Ten high straight) |
Flush | Five cards of the same suit. If two people have a flush then the higher ranking one is the person with the higher flush. (I.e. someone with an Ace-High flush will beat someone with a Queen-High flush). |
Full House | Three of a kind and a pair (Ace-Ace-Ace + Ten-Ten, makes a full house, Tens full of Aces). |
Four of a Kind | Four of the same card (King-King-King-King, makes four of a kind Kings) |
Straight Flush | 5 cards running in the same suit, but not ace high (Eight-Nine-Ten-Jack-Queen, makes a straight flush Queen high). |
High Card | And finally the Mac daddy, the royal flush. Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten all of the same suit. |

Order Of Poker Hand Values
As suited cards slightly increase the value of a starting hand due to their higher flush capabilities (you can see this illustrated in the poker hand strength charts) those 78 suited non-paired starting hands are counted separately from unpaired starting hands. Poker hands from highest to lowest. A, K, Q, J, 10, all the same suit. Five cards in a sequence, all in the same suit. All four cards of the same rank. Three of a kind with a pair.
