Standard poker hand rankings
Playhouse UK does not currently host a video-poker table. This page is a general reference for the ranking order used in most English-deck poker variants.
| Rank | Hand | Example idea |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal flush | A K Q J 10, same suit |
| 2 | Straight flush | Nine to king, same suit |
| 3 | Four of a kind | Four queens |
| 4 | Full house | Three sixes and two aces |
| 5 | Flush | Five hearts, mixed ranks |
| 6 | Straight | Five to nine, mixed suits |
| 7 | Three of a kind | Three tens |
| 8 | Two pair | Kings and fours |
| 9 | One pair | Two nines |
| 10 | High card | Ace-high with no pair |
In most showdowns, suits do not break ties; kickers and the next card down the ranking decide. House rules can vary — always read the table you are sitting at.
