Building a Winning Hand in Poker
Do you like this story?
No
matter which version of poker you are playing, the game mechanics are always
the same. You are dealt a series of cards against other players, or the house,
and whoever has the most valuable hand wins that round. Poker, whichever
variation you are playing, is the simplest game, in terms of wins or losses.
When you are sitting at the table, or looking at your screen for online gaming,
you want to be certain you are setting up a win you can easily walk away with.
Yes, you can bluff a poor hand, but being able to identify you have a winning
hand will make your win streak that much higher. Here is the list of the hands
for poker in their ranking order.
A Pair
These
are two cards that have the same face value. These do not have to be matching
colors; the face of each card just has to match. While this is better than
nothing, there are multiple hands which are higher than a pair and your chances
of winning with just this are slim.
Two Pairs
Same
as a single pair, these are two sets of pairs that have the same face value. It
is slightly better than holding just a pair, but there are other hands which
can ensure your win.
Three of a Kind
This
hand contains three cards of the same face value. If there is another person
who is also holding a three of a kind set then the person with the highest card
value wins the hand.
A Straight
A
straight hand contains all five cards in numerical order. This hand does not
require that the cards are the same suit.
A Flush
For
this hand, each card has to have the same suit. They do not have to be in
numerical order.
A Full House
A
full house contains a combination of three of a kind and a pair. For example:
three Jacks and two cards with the face value of ten.
Four of a Kind
Similar
to the pair or the three of a kind hand, the four of a kind has four cards with
matching face values.
Straight Flush
The
second highest hand you can hold in the game, a straight flush is the
combination of the straight and flush hands. It is all of your cards in
numerical order and in the same suit.
Royal Flush
This
is the highest hand you can hold in any poker game. It is similar to the
straight flush, but instead of the sequence starting from any number it must
contain an ace, a king, the queen, a jack, and a ten card, all in the same
suit. It is the highest hand to hold in the game due to its difficulty to
accomplish in any poker game.
