The Very Basics
Poker is played with a standard pack of 52 cards. The cards are ranked (from high to low) Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. (Ace can be high or low, but is usually high). There are four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs); however, no suit is higher than another. All poker hands contain five cards, the highest hand wins.

I have listed the lowest hand to the highest hand below.
One Pair: Two cards of the same value with three extra cards that do not combine in any desirable way.
Two Pair: Two pairs of cards with the same value each pair having a different value. One extra card is present.
Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same value with the remaining two cards not combining in any desirable way.
Straight: Five cards of sequential value and differing “suits” (spades, clubs, hearts or diamonds).
Flush: Five cards of the same suit that are not all sequential.
Full House: Three cards of one value, and two cards of another value, sometimes called a “full boat”.
Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same value with one extra card present.
Straight Flush: Five sequential cards of the same suit. ·
Royal Flush: A Straight Flush that consists of the five highest value cards, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

Each level of value beats all levels below it. For instance, even the lowest Three of a Kind (Twos) will beat the highest Two Pair (Aces and Kings). If two players have the same type of hand, the player with the higher value cards wins the hand. For instance, the player with three Jacks beats the player with three Eights. Extra cards only matter if two players have otherwise identical hands. For instance, if two players each have Two Pair consisting of Tens and Fours, the player with the higher value extra card wins the hand.

High Hands will be ranked in order
