    High CardNo hand. Compare the highest card
  • Hands higher on the list are stronger. #1 is the strongest, #10 the weakest.
  • Ace is the highest rank, then K, Q, J, 10… down to 2.
  • A-2-3-4-5 is also a straight (the 5 counts as its top card).
  • When two players have the same hand, compare the ranks that make the hand first, then the kickers. Suits never matter.
  • Blue outlines show the cards that make the hand (hands that use all 5 cards have no outline).
