In the table below all poker hands are listed. Higher ranking hands are listed before lower ranking hands. When comparing two hands of the same rank, the value of the cards determines who wins. For example, a Pair of Jacks beats a Pair of Tens. If two hands only differ with respect to their suits, the pot is split.
