Poker Hands Rankings

Poker Hands Rankings / Probability of Poker Hands

The following poker hands ranking are from lowest to highest. In addition, each poker hands probability in five cards is shown. Realize that the poker hands probability will be higher in Texas Holdem since there is a total of seven cards.

High Card, e.g., Ad Td 8s 6s 3h, 50% probability or 1 to 1
A high card hand is any hand which doesn’t meet any of the hands below. If no one has a pair or better, the player with the highest card wins. If there is a tie for the highest card then the second highest card would be the tie breaker and so forth.

Pair, e.g. Ad As Kc Th 5s, 42% probability or 1.4 to 1
A pair is two matching cards with three distinct cards. If two players have the same pair then the highest card wins.

Two distinct pairs with a single kicker. If two opponents hold the same two pair then the highest kicker card wins.
