Royal Flush		A straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally. Odds: 1 in 649,740 hands.
Straight Flush		Any straight with all five cards of the same suit. Odds: 1 in 72,193 hands.
Four of a Kind		Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind, the bigger fifth card (known as the kicker) decides who wins the pot. Odds: 1 in 4,165 hands.
Full House		Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows “Aces full of Kings” and it is a bigger full house than “Kings full of Aces”. Odds: 1 in 694 hands.
Flush		Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible. Odds: 1 in 508 hands.
Straight		Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight. Odds: 1 in 254 hands.
Three of a Kind		Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards – the best possible three of a kind. Odds: 1 in 47 hands.
Two Pair		Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair. Odds: 1 in 21 hands.
One Pair		Any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible one-pair hand. Odds: 1 in 2 hands.
High Card		Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand. Odds: 1 in 2 hands.
