Whether you’re new to the game, or looking for some help with the poker hands of lesser-known game types, we’ve compiled a list of poker hand rankings to help out.
These include traditional poker hand rankings of the most popular variants of poker, such as No Limit Hold‘em, Pot Limit Omaha and Stud.
Five cards of the same suit.
In the event of a tie: The player holding the highest ranked card wins. If necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest, and fifth-highest cards can be used to break the tie. If all five cards are the same ranks, the pot is split. The suit itself is never used to break a tie in poker.
Five cards in sequence.
In the event of a tie: Highest ranking card at the top of the sequence wins.
Note: The Ace may be used at the top or bottom of the sequence, and is the only card which can act in this manner. A,K,Q,J,T is the highest (Ace high) straight; 5,4,3,2,A is the lowest (Five high) straight.
