The game of poker is a game of chance and skill. Some variations use alternate hands to determine the winner. These hands are listed below and at the right. If there are ties in the hands, the highest card in the hand wins. For example, Straight 7-8-9-10-J beats Straight 3-4-5-6-7. The lowest actual poker hand is a One Pair, which consists of two cards with the same value. The next highest hand is a Two Pair.
Straight Flush
A Straight Flush in poker is a poker hand with five cards that are all of equal value. It is the best hand to have if you’re up against someone with a straight flush, but there are ways to beat a straight. For example, a straight of 7-8-9-10-J can beat a straight of 5-6-7-8-9.
