Most of the poker
games offered by online casinos use a standard 52 card deck. The cards
are usually ranked according to their face value, with the Jack (J),
Queen (Q) and King (K) being valued at 11, 12 and 13 respectively. The
Ace (A) can either be valued at 14 (high) or 1 (low). Whilst all four
suits are used, Hearts (H), Diamonds (D), Spades (S) and Clubs (C), no
suit is valued higher than another.
In most games of
poker, hands usually consist of 5 cards with the highest hand winning.
The following list of poker of hands is ordered from the highest to the
lowest.
Royal Flush
A Royal Flush is the best hand in a game of poker, beating all others.
It consists of a 10, J, Q, K, A that are all of the same suit.
Straight Flush
The Straight Flush consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence.
For example, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of Hearts. A Straight Flush made using higher
cards will always beat one with lower cards. The lowest Straight Flush
consists of A, 2, 3, 4, 5, with the highest consisting of 9, 10, J, Q,
K.
4 of a Kind
4 of a Kind is a hand that contains 4 cards of the same value (one from
each suit). For example, 10H, 10D, 10S and 10C. A 4 of a Kind consisting
of high cards will always win over one consisting of low cards.
Full House
This hand contains a three cards of the same value (3 of a Kind) and a
pair of the same value. For example, 10D, 10H, 10S, 4S, 4C. In the event
of two players showing a Full House, the hand with the highest 3 of a
Kind will win. For example, a KD, KH, KC, 2S, 2D will beat a QS, QC, QD,
10D, 10S.
Flush
A Flush is simply a hand containing cards all from the same suit. If two
players hold a Flush, the hand containing the highest card wins. For
example, 2D, 4D, 7D, 8D, KD would beat a hand of 2H, 4H, 7H, 8H, JH.
Straight
A hand including any five cards in sequence, from any suit, is a
Straight. Like the Straight Flush, a high Straight will always beat a
low Straight.
3 of a Kind
3 of a Kind is a hand that includes three cards that are all of the same
value. High cards always beat low cards.
2 Pair
This hand must contain two different pairs of cards that are of the same
value. For example, 2D, 2C, 10H, 10C, 8S. In the event of two players
having 2 Pair, the one with the highest pair wins. If both of the high
pairs are the same, then the winner will be determined by the value of
the second pair. If the second pair of cards are the same, then which
ever player has the highest fifth card wins.
1 Pair
This hand includes just two cards that are of the same value. The player
with highest valued pair of cards wins. If both players hold the same
pair, then the overall highest card of the hand is used to determined
the winner.

the highest single card wins the game. If two players have the same high
card, then the one with second highest card will win and if not the
third and so on.
