In Hold'em Poker the best five-card hand wins. If you have three pairs you only have two pairs and one card as kicker. And if you have a straight with six cards, it’s useless because you can only use five cards of the existing seven (two hole cards and five community cards) to build a hand. Of course, some hands are better than others…
1. If nobody has a pair, the highest card counts (King high):
Kd Ts 2c 3h 7h
2. One pair (Pair of Queens):
Qh Qd As Tc 6h
3. Two pair (Jacks and sixes):
Js Jh 6c 6s Ac
Attention: If two players have two pair, the highest one pair counts. For instance, player A has AA225 and player B has KKJJ5, consequently player A wins because his pair of aces is higher than B's pair of kings.
4. Three of a kind (Three of a kind - Nines):
9h 9s 9d Tc 2c
5. Straight (Straight Ten high):
Ts 9h 8h 7c 6s
Also A2345, but NOT KA234, QKA23, or JQKA2!
6. Flush (Flush - Ace high = Nut Flush):
Ac 2c 5c 8c Kc
7. Full House (Kings full of fours):
Kd Ks Kc 4s 4d
If there are several players with a Full House, then the one with the higher Three of a Kind hand wins.
For instance KKK44 is better than AAJJJ
8. Four of a Kind (Four of a Kind - Eights):
8s 8h 8d 8c Ks
9. Straight Flush (Straight Flush Eight high):
8s 7s 6s 5s 4s
10. Royal Flush (Straight Flush Ace high):
Ad Kd Qd Jd Td
