Hand Ranking
The following list will give you the ranking of poker hands, from highest (Royal flush) to lowest (high card), which is identical to any standard poker card game. Poker hands in all games are made up of 5 cards, so although you may be dealt seven cards in 7 card stud, your poker hand will be made up from the best combination of 5 of your cards.
