Texas Hold’em poker is a competitive card game played among players. Typically, 2 to 6 participants take part. The game uses a standard 52-card deck with no trump suit. Each player is dealt five private cards, and the players’ hands are compared to decide the winner.
The cards are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Big King, Little King, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Ace.
The different hand types, ranked from strongest to weakest, include:
– Single cards
– Straight
– Pair
– Two pairs
– Three of a kind
– Straight flush (connected sequence of five cards in the same suit)
– Full house (a three of a kind plus a pair)
Understanding these rankings and hand types is essential for strategic play in Texas Hold’em poker.
