Poker Hand Rankings — Complete Guide

Whether you're playing Texas Hold'em, Omaha, or our Poker Hands prediction game, knowing hand rankings is essential. Here's every poker hand ranked from strongest to weakest.

1

Royal Flush

A K Q J 10 — all same suit

The best possible hand in poker. Five consecutive cards from 10 to Ace, all of the same suit. Unbeatable.

2

Straight Flush

9 8 7 6 5 — all same suit

Five consecutive cards of the same suit. If two players have straight flushes, the one with the higher top card wins.

3

Four of a Kind

K K K K 7

Four cards of the same rank. Also called "quads". The fifth card (kicker) breaks ties.

4

Full House

Q Q Q 8 8

Three of a kind plus a pair. Ranked first by the three-of-a-kind, then by the pair. "Queens full of eights."

5

Flush

A J 8 4 2 — all hearts

Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence. Ranked by the highest card, then the next highest, and so on.

6

Straight

10 9 8 7 6 — mixed suits

Five consecutive cards of mixed suits. Ace can be high (A-K-Q-J-10) or low (5-4-3-2-A).

7

Three of a Kind

J J J 9 4

Three cards of the same rank. Also called "trips" or "a set" depending on context.

8

Two Pair

A A 8 8 3

Two different pairs. Ranked by the higher pair first, then the lower pair, then the kicker.

9

Pair

10 10 K 7 2

Two cards of the same rank. Very common — about 42% of hands will have at least a pair.

10

High Card

A J 8 5 2 — no matches

When no other hand is made, the highest card plays. "Ace high" beats "King high".

Texas Hold'em vs Omaha

In Texas Hold'em, you use any combination of your 2 hole cards and 5 community cards to make the best 5-card hand.

In Omaha, you must use exactly 2 of your hole cards (4 or 5 dealt) and exactly 3 community cards. This makes hands generally stronger — expect more flushes and full houses.
