What beats what in poker?

Answer 1

In order from best hand to worst:

A royal flush (Ace-High straight of one suit)

Straight Flush (A straight of one suit)

Four-Of-A-Kind (Same rank)

Full House (Three-of-a-kind and a pair)

Flush ( Five of the same suit)

Straight (Five cards in sequence. Ace can be high or low)

Three-Of-A-Kind (Same rank)

Two Pair (Two cards of same rank and another two of same rank)

One Pair (Two cards of same rank)

High Card (When none of the above is available your hand is based on your high card)

In case more than one players holds the best hand, the one with the higher cards wins (for example, if both players have full house, one of them 3 Q's and 2 9'w and the other 3 9's and 2 K's - the first one wins)

Answer 2

Above all royal flush, then straight flush , then 4 of a kind, then full house, flush, straight, trips or set, two pair, pair, and high card.

If you are playing with wild cards (Card which can be used as any card) then the highest possible combination is 5 of a kind, 5 of a kind beats the Royal Flush.

Answer 3

First is straight, then the flush, next is full house, four of a kind, straight flush and finally royal straight flush. (it is in sequence to the lowest to the higher).
