By Alex Bannon


Face it. Really, if you don't know these Poker Hold Em Hand rankings you're going to look like a complete dumb-ass at the poker table. Avoid the embarrassment, read this article now.

Knowledge of the Poker Hold Em Hand Rankings can prove invaluable to any player. This will make him thoughtful and conscious of how he can work his cards to his advantage.

Poker Hold Em Hand Rankings are classified into 9 combinations. The strongest of them all is the Straight Flush. This is the most winnable hand.

A Royal Flush is a kind of straight flush which contains five cards from A-T that are arranged in order and in the same suit.

The next best card is called Four of A Kind. Four cards of the same kind with a kicker on the side are what this combination is comprised of. A Kicker is a card that bears no relation to the four cards mentioned.

Full Houses are the third best hands you can have in poker. They consists three cards of the same rank and a pair of the same rank as well.

The fourth powerful poker hand is the Flush. It is almost the same as the straight flush with the difference that cards for this combination must be in the same suit but not necessarily in sequence.

The Straight comes next in poker rankings. It is also like flush and straight flush except for the fact that cards must be in order but will not have to be in the same suit. Aces can be used either as the first or last in the series but they are the only ones in the game that can act in this mann

A Three of A Kind contains three cards with the same ranking with two cards on the side.

Next in line is Two Pair. A Two pair contains - obviously, two pairs of cards that are of the same rank and one card on the side.

Second to the last is One Pair. Two Pairs are called by that name because of the two pairs of cards that compose it. Similarly, One Pairs contain one pair of cards that are of the same rank with three side cards.

Last is the High Cards which are combinations that cannot classified to those we have previously enumerated. These types of hands are very low on the scale of all Poker Hold Em Hand Rankings and shouldn't be relied on to win you the game.
