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. |
