Royal Straight Flush: This is an unbeatable hand (it could end in a tie in some kind of poker, like five-card draw but in texas holdem there is no way someone can beat your royal straight flush). A royal straight flush is when you have 10-J-Q-K-A, all of the same suit.
Straight Flush: Five cards, of the same suit, in order, such as 2-3-4-5-6 all of diamonds.
Four Of A Kind: Also kown as Poker or Quads. Four of the same card, such as K-A-A-A-A. In holdem if a Poker appears in the community cards then the players with the highest card will win (in case one of them have a card higher than the other community card).
Full House: also known as a boat. A set of three of a kind plus a pair, such as 8-8-Q-Q-Q. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking set of three wins. In holdem it may happen that two or more players share a set of three cards, in that case the hand with the higher pair wins.
Flush: Five cards all of the same suit, but not in order, such as 4-6-9-J-A of spades. If two or more players have flush the highest ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner; if both have the same high card, then the second-highest ranking card is compared, etc.
Straight: Five cards in a row, such as 5-6-7-8-9, but not all of the same suit. Two straights are ranked by comparing the high card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, and split any winnings. Ace can be placed before 2 and also after K to complete a straight.
Three Of A Kind: Also known as trips or set. Three cards of the same number or rank, such as 6-6-6. If you had 2-3-10-10-10, you'd have three of a kind. If two three of a kind are faced higher ranking three of a kind defeat lower ranking three of a kinds.if both have the same rank the one with the higer kicker win.
Two Pairs: Two pairs of cards of the same number or rank, such as 2-7-7-9-9. If two players shows two pairs the one with the highest pair win. If both have the same top pair, then the second pair of each is compared. Finally, if both hands have the same two pairs, the kicker determines the winner.
One Pair: Two cards that match, like J-J. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs. If equals pairs are faced then the others cards (kickers) decide who is the winner.
High Card: Also known as garbage :P. If no one has any of the above hands, the player with the highest card in their hand wins. Just having an ace in the hole is sometimes enough.
