The Royal Flush is the highest-ranking poker hand. It consists of A-K-Q-J-10 all in the same suit. It is unbeatable and occurs only once in about 649,740 hands (0.000154% probability).

A Full House is beaten by Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, and Royal Flush. A Full House beats a Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card.

In standard poker hand rankings, all suits are equal. A flush in spades ranks the same as a flush in hearts. If two players have the same hand type, the winner is determined by the highest card(s) involved (kicker). Suits only matter in very rare tiebreaker scenarios or specific game variants.

A wheel straight (also called a bicycle) is A-2-3-4-5. In this case, the Ace acts as a low card (value of 1). It is the lowest possible straight. Note: A-2-3-4-5 suited is a Straight Flush (ranked #2), not a Royal Flush — the Royal Flush requires 10-J-Q-K-A suited.

This instant hand ranker helps players quickly verify hand strength, learn the ranking hierarchy, and practice hand recognition. It's ideal for beginners learning Texas Hold'em, Omaha, or any standard poker variant. Knowing your hand ranking instantly is a fundamental skill for making better betting decisions.

A Straight Flush can only be beaten by a higher Straight Flush or a Royal Flush (which is technically the highest Straight Flush). For example, 6-7-8-9-10 suited beats 3-4-5-6-7 suited. The Royal Flush (10-J-Q-K-A suited) is the ultimate unbeatable hand.

Pairs are the most common meaningful poker hands. One Pair occurs in ~42% of all 5-card hands, and High Card (no pair) in ~50%. Together they account for over 92% of all possible hands. Stronger hands like Full House or Four of a Kind are rare because they require very specific card combinations from the 52-card deck.
