About the Poker Hands Ranking 

Poker hands ranking is extremely important in all variations of the game. Whether it is Texas Hold’em, 7 Cards Stud or Omaha Hold’em, all games are influenced by it. As the winner of every round of play is the player with the highest hand value, success in poker is tied to the players’ hands ranking. 

That’s why we think it is very important for you, as an aspiring poker player to know the values of hands in the game. That way, when you get your cards you can evaluate your chances to win and play accordingly. Holding a Royal Flush, the most powerful combination of cards in the game – try to maximize the bets around the table. Holding a Straight or a Flush, two medium strength combinations? Try to determine if the other players around the tables have better combinations of cards. Have a lousy hand? Fold to minimize your losses or do your best to bluff.
