When playing poker, sometimes the most frustrating part of the game is figuring out which hand outranks another at the poker table. JamPoker.com has placed the ranking of poker hands in an easy to read layout that is suitable for printing so that you are never wondering who is the winner of any poker hand at the table. We have included an illustrated example of each hand. The list is in order from best to weakest.


Royal Flush
Five card sequence from 10 to the Ace in the same suit (10,J,Q,K,A).

To celebrate every Royal Flush hand, we rewards players with a bonus of 100x the big blind value!

Winning poker hands Straight Flush
Any five card sequence in the same suit. (e.g. 8,9,10,J,Q and A,2,3,4,5 of same suit). All the cards are of the same suit, and all are consecutive. Ranking between straights is determined by the value of the high end of the straight.

Four of a Kind
All four cards of the same index (e.g. J,J,J,J).

Full House
Three of a kind combined with a pair (e.g. A,A,A,5,5). The three of a kind breaks ties on a full house, as you cannot have two equal sets of three of a kind in any single deck.


Flush
Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence. Don't be tricked into thinking that all five cards are the same color. The high card determines the winner if two or more people have a flush.

Straight
Five cards in sequence, but not in the same suit. A straight cannot wrap, meaning it is not a straight if you have a Queen, King, Ace, Two, Three. The higher straight wins if two or more people have a straight. In case of straights that tie, the pot is split.


Three of a Kind
Three cards of the same value. The highest set of three cards wins.

Pair
One pair of two equal value cards constitutes a pair.

High Card
If no one has any of the above winning hands, the highest value card in the hand determines the tie. If the highest cards are a tie then the second highest card breaks the tie. Suits are not used to break ties.
