Poker Rank of Hands
After the final betting is completed, each Player will select
the best five cards from their hand according to the following
table which lists the ranking of hands for high poker.
1. "ROYAL FLUSH" - five cards of the same suit
consisting of an ace, king, queen, jack and ten.
2. "STRAIGHT FLUSH" - five cards of the same suit
in sequence. An ace high Straight Flush is a "Royal Flush,"
which is the highest of the straight flushes; while an ace,
two, three, four and five is the lowest ranked straight flush.
3. "FOUR OF A KIND" - four cards of the same rank,
regardless of suit.
4. "FULL HOUSE" - three cards of the same rank
and two cards of the same rank.
5. "FLUSH" - any five cards of the same suit.
6. "STRAIGHT" - five cards in sequence, regardless
of suit; with an ace, king, queen, jack and ten being the
highest ranking straight and an ace, two, three, four and
five being the lowest ranking straight.
7. "THREE OF A KIND" - three cards of the same
rank, regardless of suit.
8. "TWO PAIR" - two cards of the same rank and
two different cards of equal rank.
9. "ONE PAIR" - two cards of the same rank regardless
of suit.
10. "HIGH HAND" - the rank of a hand containing
no pair is determined by the highest ranking card (or cards)
in the Player's hand.
The ranking of the cards used in low poker, for the determination
of winning hands, in order of highest to lowest shall be:
Ace, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
jack, queen, and king. All suits shall be considered equal
in rank. The ranking of a low poker hand as determined by
the holding of a full five card hand shall be the opposite
of the ranking's for a high poker hand; provided, however,
that straights and flushes shall not be considered for purposes
of determining a winning hand at low poker.
