Poker Hand rankings (best to worst)

Royal Flush

10, J, Q, K, A all of the same suit

e.g. AKQJ10

This is the best hand in poker – nothing else can beat it!

Straight Flush

5 cards in a row, all of the same suit

e.g. 56789

Not seen very often but the 2nd strongest hand in poker

Four of a Kind

4 cards of the same rank

e.g. 5555Q

Hold this hand and you’re extremely unlikely to lose

Full House

Three cards of the same rank plus a pair

e.g. KKK99

This is the strongest hand which you will see on a regular basis

Flush

5 cards of the same suit, but not in a row

e.g. KQ985

The higher your best card (e.g. if you hold the ace here) the stronger your flush is

Straight

5 cards in a row, but not all the same suit

e.g. 56789

Not as good as the ‘straight flush’ because it’s more likely to have this unsuited version of the hand

Three of a kind

3 cards of the same rank

e.g. 777102

Often a hand good enough to win a show-down

Two pair

2 lots of 2 cards of the same rank

e.g. QQ10109

Although it looks good, it’s not nearly as strong as you might think

One pair

Any 2 cards of the same rank

e.g. 77Q106

The higher your pair, the better – aces are always highest

High card

Exactly what it sounds like, a high card

e.g. 267JA

If there are no hands such as those described above, then the person with the highest card in his hand will win (here if you hold the ace, for example). It’s unusual to see such a hand win at a showdown.

Poker Betting Options

There are a few simple actions you need to know when it comes to playing your cards.

Fold: This ends your participation in a hand – you lose any money you have already and y invested in it.

Check: You don’t fold, but stay in the hand if no-one else has bet on any particular round.

Bet: You opt to put money into the pot. The amount can vary depending in the rules and/or personal choice.

Call: You match any bet already made by opponent(s) and therefore remain in the hand.

Raise: Putting extra money in the pot over and above that needed to simply call.

How a hand is played in No Limit Hold’em

Texas Hold’em is a fairly simple game and can be picked up very quickly. Our move-by-move poker cheat sheet described below should keep you right if you’re not sure what’s going on...

The blinds (small and big) are placed and the dealer shuffles the cards.
All players are dealt two cards face down, known as 'hole' cards.
The 1st round of bets are placed, moving clockwise after the blinds
Players must match the highest previous bet in the round or fold (see above)
The dealer discards –or ‘burns’- the top card on the deck
The dealer deals three ‘community’ cards face-up on the table-known as ‘the flop’
A 2nd round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer
The dealer burns another card, then deals a single card face-up- known as ‘the turn’
A 3rd round of betting commences, in the same way as the 2nd round
The dealer burns another card, then deals a 5th card face-up – known as ‘the river’
Players make the best 5-card hand they can, using the table ‘community’ cards and their own hole cards
A final round of betting takes place, in the same way as the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
The players reveal their hands, clockwise from the last player called -the showdown. Players may ‘muck’ their cards (i.e. push them face-down to the dealer) if they know they are beaten and don’t want to show what they were holding
The winning hand takes the ‘pot’ (the money in the middle from the betting plus blinds)

Starting hands guide

Which cards to play and when to play them?

If you try to play any two cards all the time, you’ll soon find yourself losing all your money! You need to learn which cards should be played and when.

Here’s a conservative starting hands guide for when you’re playing at a full table of 8 or 9 players.

Early position (seats 1,2 and 3): Here you need to remember that there are a lot of players to act after you, so make sure you play only the top percentage of cards, so:

AA – 99

AK-AJ suited or unsuited

KQ-KJ suited

Middle position (seats 4, 5 and 6): There are less players to act after you, so you can relax your starting hands a bit, e.g.

AA-77

AK-A9 suited or unsuited

KQ-K10 suited

QJ suited

Late position (seats 7, 8 and 9): Because there are very few players left to act after you, you can relax your requirements a lot more, so:

AA-55

KQ-K7 suited or unsuited

QJ-J10 suited or unsuited

These are quite tight requirements, but they’ll help you to understand the strength of hands which will appear at your table.

Note that if someone acts before you, you will have to tighten up which cards you play – a basic plan is to only play the top half of all these hands if someone has bet before you. If you plan to raise, do it with the top 20% of your starting hands.

If you are playing 6-max tables, simply shift the plan above to the left! Your middle position hands now become your early position cards (including all the bigger hands)

If you find yourself heads-up, pretty much every starting hand can be played, but to begin with you should stick to everything in the top 50% of hands until you get used to how it works with few players.

After playing for a while you’ll hopefully start to spot which hands are getting you in trouble more than others, and you can adjust accordingly. Similarly, once you know more about the game you can start to vary and/or loosen your starting hands.

One important point to note is, you should never limp in – always raise! There are some tricky plays involving limping, but for those new to the game it’s simply a bad idea to get ‘fancy’. If your raise gets re-raised, then call or – with your very top 10% of hands – re-raise again. You can go all the way with your top 5% of cards.

Another useful thing to note when you are playing is that – if your opponents are playing every hand, they cannot possibly have great, or even good, cards all the time.

Being bullied at the table is horrible, so you must get into the habit of fighting back! Choose your top 20% of cards per position and shove back against the table bully. You’ll lose a few, but the bully will soon learn you are not to be messed with.

This is especially true when you are in the Big Blind! Don’t allow the Small Blind to walk all over you.

If he’s playing EVERY hand against you then the top 51% of your hands will be better than his! Adjust this figure whenever you see what cards he is actually raising you with.
