In poker, players form sets of five playing cards, called hands, according to the rules of the game.[1] Each hand 💱 has a rank, which is compared against the ranks of other hands participating in the showdown to decide who wins 💱 the pot.[2] In high games, like Texas hold 'em and seven-card stud, the highest-ranking hands win. In low games, like 💱 razz, the lowest-ranking hands win. In high-low split games, both the highest-ranking and lowest-ranking hands win, though different rules are 💱 used to rank the high and low hands.[3][4]
A jack-high flush
Each flush is ranked first by the rank of its highest-ranking 💱 card, then by the rank of its second highest-ranking card, then by the rank of its third highest-ranking card, then 💱 by the rank of its fourth highest-ranking card, and finally by the rank of its lowest-ranking card. For example, K♦ 💱 J♦ 9♦ 6♦ 4♦ ranks higher than Q♣ J♣ 7♣ 6♣ 5♣, which ranks higher than J♥ 10♥ 9♥ 4♥ 💱 2♥, which ranks higher than J♠ 10♠ 8♠ 6♠ 3♠, which ranks higher than J♥ 10♥ 8♥ 4♥ 3♥, which 💱 ranks higher than J♣ 10♣ 8♣ 4♣ 2♣. Flush hands that differ by suit alone, such as 10♦ 8♦ 7♦ 💱 6♦ 5♦ and 10♠ 8♠ 7♠ 6♠ 5♠, are of equal rank.[6][13]
