pokerhänder

Pokerhänder refers to the ranking of card combinations in the game of poker. The value of a poker hand is determined by comparing it to the hands of other players. The highest-ranking hand wins the pot.

The hierarchy of poker hands, from strongest to weakest, is as follows: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. A Royal Flush consists of A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit. A Straight Flush is five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, but not a Royal Flush. Four of a Kind means four cards of the same rank. A Full House is three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. A Flush is five cards of the same suit, not in sequence. A Straight is five cards in sequence, but not all of the same suit. Three of a Kind is three cards of the same rank. Two Pair is two cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. One Pair is two cards of the same rank. High Card is when no other combination is formed, and the highest card determines the winner.

In the event of a tie in hand ranking, the pot is split between the tied players. If multiple players have the same rank of hand, kickers (the remaining cards in the hand not part of the combination) are used to determine the winner. For instance, if two players have a pair of Aces, the player with the higher second-highest card (kicker) wins. Understanding these rankings is fundamental to playing poker effectively.
