from Best to Worst

A couple of weeks ago, i had some of my friends embarking on their life with hold'em. It was their very first game of hold'em. Some had better hands than the other. Really good hands. Some had played it tightly. Some played even with some crap hands. Some called the pot at the river even with a pair of three.Some just could not take the pressure of no-limit. But they have some queries in their mind as to the rank of cards in hold'em and i wish to share with them here. Before that, Hold'em is a game where you have total seven cards to make the best FIVE cards with any of the cards.Anyway, I welcome them greatly into the game and hope u guys have a real cool fun with it.

Here's the rank of the cards in Hold'em.

Royal Flush - An Ace-High straight of one suit.

Straight Flush - A straight of entirely one suit.

Four-of-a-Kind (Quads) - Four cards of the same rank.

Full House (Full Boat, Boat) - Three-of-a-kind and a pair. The example below would be called "Queens over Aces" or "Queens full of Aces".

Flush - Five cards of the same suit.

Straight (Run) - Five cards of sequential rank. Note that in holdem, Aces can be high or low.

An example of a straight where the Ace is low:

Three-of-a-Kind (Trips, Set) - Three cards of the same rank.

Two Pair - Two cards of the same rank and another two cards of the same rank. The example below would be called "Jacks and Twos".

One Pair - Two cards of the same rank.

High Card - When you don't have any of the above, your highest card determines your hand. The example below would be "King High" or "High card King".
