Poker Hands

Poker Hand Ranking Order

Poker is a game played with a standard 52 playing card deck. There are 4 suits: spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. Each suit has the same 13 cards. There are 9 numbered cards: 2 through 10, and 4 face cards: jack, queen, king and ace.
Each player is dealt 5 cards from the deck. The object is to get a 5- card combination (known as a hand) that is more valuable than everyone else's. The harder it is to get a particular hand, the more valuable it is. Here are the hands in order from most importance to least:
