❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Poker Hand Rankings
What is the strongest hand in poker?
The Royal Flush (Ace-high straight flush) is the best possible hand and cannot be beaten. Our chart lists all hands from strongest to weakest.
How do you break ties in poker?
If two players have the same hand type (e.g., both have a flush), the player with the highest ranking card wins. If those are equal, the next highest card determines the winner, and so on (kickers).
Is a straight flush better than four of a kind?
Yes. A straight flush ranks above four of a kind. The only hand that beats a straight flush is a higher straight flush or a royal flush.
Are hand rankings the same for Omaha and Texas Hold'em?
The hand rankings are identical. However, in Omaha you must use exactly two of your hole cards, which can change the strength of made hands relative to Hold'em.
How often does a royal flush occur?
The probability is about 1 in 649,740 in Texas Hold'em. That's why it's so rare and celebrated.
Can a flush be any five cards of the same suit?
Yes. If they are also consecutive, it becomes a straight flush (or royal flush if Ace-high). Our chart clarifies the distinction.
