Poker Hand Rankings
Our listing of the different poker hand rankings and their order of importance. Sure, the seasoned veteran will know the poker hands but there will always be someone just starting out on their own poker adventure.
It is important to note that for the most part, the ranking of the hands is the same for all games. With a game like Omaha where you might be playing for the low hand, the better hand would be a low straight rather than a high straight. That type of exception is however built into the game rules and obvious to the player.
Learn these poker hands and they will hold you in good stead, even if you are playing video poker (sometimes referred to as casino poker). You are always going to search for that elusive Royal Flush so good luck and enjoy the journey ahead.
