🃏Poker Hands

In poker, hands are ranked based on their rarity and strength. Here are the standard poker hands, listed from the highest to the lowest:

1. Royal Flush: A, K, Q, J, 10, all of the same suit. This is the highest-ranking hand and is extremely rare.

2. Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit. For example, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, all in hearts.

3. Four of a Kind (Quads): Four cards of the same rank. For instance, four Aces.

4. Full House: Three cards of one rank and two of another. For example, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4.

5. Flush: Any five cards of the same suit, not in sequence. For instance, 2, 5, 8, J, A, all in diamonds.

6. Straight: Five consecutive cards of different suits. For example, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

7. Three of a Kind (Set/Trips): Three cards of the same rank, like 10, 10, 10.

8. Two Pair: Two sets of two cards of the same rank. For instance, 9, 9, 4, 4.

9. One Pair: Two cards of the same rank. For example, two Queens.

10. High Card: When no hand combination is made, the highest card in your hand determines the winner. For instance, if nobody has any of the above combinations, the player with the highest card wins.

In a poker game, players aim to make the best hand possible from the cards they are dealt or, in some variants, from a combination of their cards and community cards on the table. The strength of a hand depends on its rarity and the ranking of the cards within it.
