If you want to learn how to play poker you need to know which is the winning hand.
These are all handrankings, from weakest to strongest.
Most forms of poker are played with a 52-card deck, cards are ranked from high to low: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace (Ace can be both high and low!)

	“High card” High card wins (ex. high card King). The combination of the highest 5 cards wins.
	“One Pair” Two cards of the same numeral value (ex. pair of nines). In case of a Tie, kicker plays (the highest unpaired card is your kicker)
	“Two Pair” Two different pairs in the same hand (ex. two pair eights and fours). When both players have the same highest pair, the value of the second pair decides who wins. In case of the same two pair, kicker plays.
	“Three of a Kind” Three cards of the same rank (ex. three of a kind deuces). In case of a tie, kicker plays
	“Straight” Five cards, of any suit, in sequential order (ex. ten-high straight). Ace can be high and/or low. When both players have a straight, the highest straight wins (ex. 789TJ wins from 6789T)
	“Flush” Five cards of the same suit, in any order (ex. Queen high Flush). When both players have a flush, the highest different card wins.
	“Full House” Three of a kind and a pair in the same hand (ex. eights full of queens) The Full house with the highest three of a kind wins. In case of a tie, the highest pair wins.
	“Four of a Kind” Any four numerically matching cards (ex. four of a kind Jacks). In case of a tie, kicker plays
	“Straight Flush” Five cards of the same suit and in sequential order (ex. 8 high straight flush). When both players have a straight flush, the highest straight flush wins
	“Royal Flush” The best possible hand in Texas Holdem: Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace (same suit).
