Four of a kind:
The name says it all if of the 5
playing cards you have four cards
of one rank plus one
unrelated card you have 4 of a
kind e.g. QQQQ5 or 8888A which
would mean you have
either
a hand with four queens or
four 8’s the higher the rank the
better the card, which
would mean 4
queens would beat
the four 8’s
Full House:
You have a full house when out of
the five cards you have you get 3
cards of one rank
and a pair and the full house is
determined by the 3 card grouping
and not the pair so if
you gave 888kk it would be eights full of
kings and
this could be beaten by a
kkk22,
which would be kings full of two’s.
Flush:
You have a flush when you have any five
cards of the same suit, they do not have
to be in sequence, because if they were,
you would then have a straight flush. If
more
than one player gets a flush, the
winner is decided by rank. This means
the person holding the highest card wins.
Straight:
Five
cards in a sequence not all
belonging to the same suit,
means you
have a straight. If more than one player
has a straight
the winner is determined
by the person by the person holding the
higher card in the sequence, e.g. J10987
would beat a 98765
