1. Five of a Kind – This
hand is only possible if you are playing with Wild Cards.
That means that you have five cards with the same number.
For example: 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 –
9. If more than one player has a Five of a Kind the
hand with higher rank wins. For example: Q – Q
– Q – Q – Q beats 9 – 9 –
9 – 9 – 9.
2. Straight Flush – Is the highest natural hand
(with no wild cards) It’s formed by a straight
of the same suit (five consecutive cards of the same
suit) For example: 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 –
7 of clubs. Like in a regular straight, an ace could
be high (A – K – Q – J – 10)
or low (A – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5) but
you cannot use it in the middle (K – A –
2 – 3 – 4) Also know as Wrap Around. An
Ace High Straight Flush is know as a Royal Flush and
is the highest hand.
3. Four of a Kind – Is the third hand in the
rank, and is know as Poker. You’ll need four cards
of the same rank (number) For example: A – A –
A – A If more than one player has a Poker, the
hand with the higher rank wins and if the rank are the
same (in the case you are playing with Wild Cards, otherwise
it’s impossible) the High Card rules. For example:
9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 7
wins, 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 3 loses.
4. Full House – It consist of three of a kind
plus a pair. For example: 7 – 7 – 7 –
J – J In a tie, the untie is made by the three
of a kind. For example: 5 – 5 – 5 –
7 – 7 beats 4 – 4 – 4 – A –
A In the extraordinary case that the Three of a kind
are the same rank, the tie is broken by the pair. (This
tie will only happen with Wild Cards)
5. Flush – This hand consist of five cards of
the same suit. For example: J – 9 – 6 –
4 – 2 all of spades. In a tie, High Card rules.
6. Straight – This are five cards in consecutive
rank order and with different suits. For example: Ks
– Qd – Jc – 10s – 9h. Like in
the Straight Flush, the ace can be high or low and Wrap
Around isn’t allowed. In case of a tie, the highest
Straight wins. For example: K – Q – J –
10 – 9 beats 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 –
3. If the Straights are identical, the pot splits between
the two players.
7. Three of a Kind – Three same rank cards, with
the remaining two not being a pair. The highest ranf
wins if a tie shows up. For example: 10 – 10 –
10 – 3 – 2 beats 9 – 9 – 9 –
J – 5
8. Two Pair – Consist of one pair of two cards
of the same rank, and another set of two cards of the
same rank but different from the first one and a fifth
card different from the other four. For example: A -
A – 9 – 9 – 3 In a tie situation,
the highest pair wins, if the tie continues, the second
pair wins, and if the tie persist the High Card rules.
For example: A – A – K – K –
Q beats A – A – Q – Q – J
9. Pair – Two cards with the same rank and three
with different ranks. Here the highest pair wins, if
there is a tie the High Card rule. For Example: K –
K – Q – J – 10 beats Q – Q –
J – 10 – 9 , and K – K – Q –
J – 10 beats K – K – J – 10
– 9
10. High Card – When a hand is poor, and no player
could form one of the above hands, it’s called
High Card. The player with the highest rank card wins.
If a tie happens, the next highest rank card wins, then
the third and so on. For example: A – 9 –
6 – 3 – 2 beats K – 10 – 8 –
7 – 4, and A – 9 – 6 – 3 –
2 beats A – 9 – 5 – 3 – 2 The
High Card is used to break a tie in the rest of the
hands.
