Hand rankings remain the same no matter which game of online poker you choose to play. And a poker hand always consists of five cards. Your objective is to make sure that the cards you hold have the highest hand rankings to maximize your chance of winning.

The following hand rankings show you all types of combinations from a flush to a straight to a pair.

	Royal Flush A straight from a ten to an ace. All five cards must be of the same suit.
	Straight flush Any straight with all five cards of the same suit.
	Four of a Kind Any four cards of equal rank. Suit doesn’t matter.
	Full House Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of another rank.
	Flush Any five cards of the same suit. The cards don’t have to be consecutive.
	Straight Any five consecutive cards. Suit doesn’t matter.
	Three of a kind Any three cards of the same rank.
	Two Pair Any two cards of one rank together with another two cards of another rank.
	One Pair Any two cards of the same rank.
	High Card Should no player hold any of the hands mentioned above, highest card wins.
