Rankings, how hands may be formed whether its a high hand or low hand. Like in standard poker game each player is betting on hand he has will be higher in ranking.
Straight Flush: A straight flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, such as K? Q? J? 10? 9?. Two such hands are compared by their card that is ranked highest.Aces can play low in straights and straight flushes: 5? 4? 3? 2? A? is a 5-high straight flush, also known as a "steel wheel".
Four of a kind: It is known as quads, is a poker hand such as 8? 8? 8? 8? J?, that contains four cards of one rank and an unmatched card of another rank. The Quad with higher ranking cards defeat lower ranking ones.
Full house: It is known as a full boat, is a poker hand such as 3? 3? 3? 6? 6?, that contains three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins, so 8? 8? 8? 4? 4? defeats 6? 6? 6? A? A?. If two hands have the same three cards (possible in wild card and community card games), the hand with the higher pair wins, so 5? 5? 5? k? k? defeats 5? 5? 5? Q? Q?.
A flush is a poker hand such as Q? J? 8? 6? 4?, where all five cards are of the same suit. If the hand also has all the cards in sequential order, it would be a straight flush.
