Getting Exact Facts about Poker Hands’ Rankings – Part 2
Discussed below are few of the other poker hands’ rankings which can decide your fortune of winning the pot.
Flush is when all the five cards of the hand are of same suit but not in sequence. The player with highest rank card wins and the next highest cards are considered for tie breaking. A♥ Q♥ 7♥ 4♥ 2♥ can be read as
Ace-high flush.
Straight – the cards must be in sequence but not necessarily from same suit. For instance, 4♥ 5♣ 6♦ 7♠ 8♥ is Eight-high straight.
“Trips,” “set,” or Three of a Kind represents hand ranking when three out of five cards are of same rank. 2♦ 2♠ 2♥ 7♥ K♣ can be read as “a set of Deuces” or “trip Deuces.”
Two Pair – the player will have two pair of cards, each pair of different rank. For instance, K♥ K♦ Q♦ Q♣ J♦ can be declared as Kings and Queens or Kings Up.
One Pair, as the name indicates, will consist of two cards of same rank. A♦ A♣ K♦ 9♥ 5♠ can be read as Aces or Aces with a King.
High Card is one of the annoyingly common hand rankings; no two cards are of same rank nor are all the cards from same suit. For instance, 4♥ 5♣ 6♦ 7♠ T♥ is Ten High.
