The winner of a poker hand is determined by the value of the combination that the player has managed to make. In total, there are 10 combinations in poker, but not all of them guarantee victory.
Before starting to play poker and trying to collect any combination, you need to choose a reliable poker room to play. The rating of the best poker rooms will help you with this, you need to choose the one with the best reputation. Below we will highlight the five best card combinations found in the game.
Flush
This combination is formed by five cards that have the same suit, for example, a club or a tambourine. The peculiarity of a flush is that several players can collect it at once - this is a common situation.
In the latter case, the winner is determined by the seniority of the highest card. If you made a flush with a king, but your opponent has a suited ace, he will take the pot. In this case, players with the same combinations will share the prize amount.
Full house
You can talk about a full house if you have a three of a kind and a pair of cards of the same size at the same time. Let's say KKK and JJ is a ready-made Full House that beats less significant sets of cards, but keep in mind that there may be several options at the table.
Under the same conditions, the winner is determined by the seniority of the three (JJJ is older than 999, but younger than QQQ). If the three have the same cards, compare the value of the pair in the combination. Rarely are full houses identical, then the pot is split between the players.
Square
Four of a Kind are four of the same cards that are rarely dropped. It is difficult to collect two such combinations at once, but in such cases, the winner is identified by the highest (fifth) card. AAAA is the best of four of a kind, which cannot be beaten with the same combination of cards, and there are only two combinations that beat poker of four.
Straight flush
This is a kind of straight, which consists of five suited cards, thus increasing its value many times over. Having in your hands cards of clubs suit in the range of 7-J, you make a straight flush, but if at least one card has a different picture, the combination becomes a regular “street”.
In a situation where several straight flushes are collected, the winner is determined by the seniority of the cards. Ace can complete a set of cards or start it, for example, if the player has collected cards 3-6 with an ace in the set (he plays the role of 2).
Royal Flush
This hand is the strongest in most types of poker and is made up of the highest straight flush (10-A). It is impossible to beat it with any other combination, and more than one straight flush rarely occurs, most often this happens due to the community cards on the flop.
Usually a royal flush is easily recognized by experienced opponents who fold. But you can catch your opponent bluffing and make good money if you correctly assess the situation at the gaming table.
We recommend that you evaluate the odds and the cards on the flop sensibly to avoid mistakes. The combinations that we described above most often bring victory and therefore every player wants to collect them.
