Poker Hand Rankings & Basic Rules
A quick guide to understanding hand rankings before you sit at your first table
Example Scenario at a Texas Hold'em Table
You hold K♠ Q♠. The community cards on the table are J♠ 10♠ 3♥ 7♦ 2♣.
Your hand: K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠ — this is a Straight (consecutive sequence), which is a high-value hand and beats an opponent's Two Pair or Three of a Kind.
If the pot is RM 80 and your opponent bets RM 20, you need to weigh whether your hand is strong enough to justify the risk of calling before making a decision.
| Ranking | Hand Name | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Highest) | Royal Flush | A-K-Q-J-10 suited |
| 2 | Straight Flush | 5 consecutive cards, same suit |
| 3 | Four of a Kind | 4 cards of the same value |
| 4 | Full House | 3 + 2 cards of the same value |
| 5 | Flush | 5 cards of the same suit |
| 6 | Straight | 5 consecutive cards |

Poker Terms You Need to Know
Six of the most common terms used at online poker tables
- Blind
- Mandatory bets placed by the first two players to the left of the dealer before any cards are dealt. The Small Blind and Big Blind kick off the pot at the start of each round.
- Flop, Turn, River
- The three stages of community card dealing in Texas Hold'em. The Flop (3 cards), the Turn (1 card), and the River (the final card). Each stage is followed by a betting round.
- All-In
- Putting all your chips into the pot at once. A player who goes all-in can still win the portion of the pot up to the amount they contributed.
- Fold
- The decision to fold your hand and exit the current round. You forfeit all bets placed, but you won't need to put in any more.
- Pot Odds
- The ratio between the total amount in the pot and what you need to call to stay in the hand. Understanding pot odds helps you make more rational calling decisions.

- The amount of money you set aside specifically for playing poker. Good bankroll management means not risking more than you can afford in a single session.
