Normally Rules for Casino and Hand rankings for poker are consistent whereas we can set any rules for home based poker games. Fifty two card deck is used to play poker games. Normally Joker is not used in Stud Style and Texas Holdem type of games.
Joker is used only when playing draw games.
When playing a Seven Card Stud game, It consists of only Best cards available. We cannot use Sixth cards or Suits to break ties. All the players in the hand will show their cards once the betting rounds are finished.
Ace is the highest rank card and followed by the King, Queen, Jack, Ten and so on.
In Poker, We use two as deuce, Even sometimes, We use Ace below a deuce for straights. In Lowball Style, Ace is used as lowest card.
Poker Hand Rankings in order are as follows:
1. The best possible hand in Poker is with Five Aces or Four Aces with a Joker or Five of a same card is the best hand when a joker or wild cards are used.
2. Straight Flush is the other best possible hand when no joker is in the game; Five consecutive cards of the same symbol say Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds.
If a Set contains Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten of the same suit is known as a Royal Flush.
3. The next possible best hand is four cards of same kind, Say Four Aces, Four Queens and Four Tens along with a fifth card. Four Ace Cards is highest set among the other sets.
Normally Higher ranks are best than the other as if four nines can lead four fives.
4. The next possible hand is known as Full house whereas it consists of three cards of same grade and two cards of other same grade. Say, If a set of 3 A’s and 2 2’s – AAA22 is known as a full house.
5. Five cards of the same suit is called as Flush. Flushes can be compared as the cards need to be set in Descending order and check each card with respective card in the other player’s set. For Example, If a player holds a set – KJ975 can defeat QJ876.If the players have same set of cards from two suits say for example, If Player 1 has KQJ98 of Clubs and Player 2 has KQJ98 of Spades, Then it is known as a tie and pot will be shared among the two players.
6. Five cards in sequence from different suits is known as straight. If two players shows the straights, the highest rank card holder is the winner.
If a Player is having 98765 can defeat the other player with 65432 .
Ace can be used in two ways in Straight – You can use A as sequence in AKQJ10 and 5432A – they are known as Broadway straight and Wheel Straight respectively.
7. Three cards of same rank and remaining two unpaired cards. A set 88825 can defeat 444QK. The three cards of higher rank should be the winner
8. In Two Pair hand, two cards of same rank, two cards of other rank and a third card of other rank.
Example: 88992 can defeat 7788K.
9. The other possible best hand is two cards of the same rank, and remaining three are unrelated. A higher rank pair defeats the lower rank pair.
