Poker hand rankings

Poker hands are won based on the ranking of your hand. Such as your three of a kind would beat your opponents two pair because three of a kind is worth more.

The ranking of poker hands:

Royal Flush: A royal flush is when all your cards are the same suit and you have a straight from 10 to Ace.

Straight Flush: A straight flush is when all your cards are the same suit and you have any straight. Such as 2 to 6.

4 of a kind: four of a kind is pretty self-explanitory, It is when you have four of the same cards in your hand. Such as K-K-K-K.

Full House: A full house is when you have 3 of a kind and 2 of a kind in the same hand. Such as: A-A-K-K-K. That would be an example of a full house K's over Ace's because the majority of the cards in your hand are kings.

Straight: A straight is when you have 5 cards in a row. Such as A-2-3-4-5. That would be a straight because there are 5 cards and all of them are in numerical order.

3 of a kind: 3 of a kind is alot like 4 of a kind except for the fact that you only need 3 of one card rather than four. Such as A-A-A. This is an example of three of a kind because you have three of the same suit.

2 pair: two pair is when you have multiple pairs of cards. Such as A-A-K-K. This is two pair because you have a pair of kings and a pair of aces, thus equaling two pair.

pair: A pair is alot like 2 pair, except its only one pair. Example A-A. This would be a pair of aces because you have two aces.
