Card game rules.
It is called KICKER
, or high card. That is, if none of the players has a combination of cards, then the oldest one wins - starting from the ace. Ace, king, queen, jack, 10, and so on. Example: the river is 2, 8, 9, jack, king. You have an ACE and a QUEEN, your opponent has a 10 and a 6. You have an ace high. You have won the hand. Then comes PAIR. Any pair of cards, of course, is considered by seniority. Example: on the river 2, 8, 9, jack, king. The opponent has 3, 10. You have 5 and the King. You have top pair - two kings. You have won.
Further - TWO PAIRS
. That is, on the table are 2, 5, 9, jack, 6, and you have 5 and Jack in your hands. You have two pairs. If the opponent does not have two pairs, then you win. But if he has, for example, 10 and Jack, then his two pair is higher (10 is older than 5). The next combination, as it is easy to guess, TROIKA
. That is, three cards of the same value. Example: on the table 2, 5, 9, 6, Jack. You have a pair of Jacks. Compare with the fact that on the table - you have a three. The opponent has 10, 3. You win.
The next one is a little more difficult. It's called STRAIGHT
(order). This is a combination to increase cards. From low to high: 2,3,4,5,6 or 10, jack, queen, king, ace, or 6,7,8,9,10, jack. The only combination that does not immediately lend itself to logic is Ace, 2,3,4,5 (just the case when Ace is considered the lowest card). There should always be five cards, starting with the lowest. Then there are cards by color - FLASH
(suit) - collect the same suit, the order is not important. Example: there are 2 clubs, 9 spades, 6 diamonds, 10 spades, 4 spades on the table. You have the queen of spades, 7 of spades. The second player does not care what (well, not really, but in this case), but there is no color. You have won. I repeat (although I got you with this), if the second player has at least the king of spades and the second spade suit, then he won. It is always considered by seniority. My lovely - FULL HOUSE
. Full house. Very often, when you have this combination, you win (we will discuss the details later). These are three cards of one value and two of another (or, to make it easier, a triple and a pair). Example: on the table 9, Jack, 8, 9, Queen. You have a jack and a 9. That is, this gives us two jacks and three 9s. Three plus two. Like a classic Soviet film. Logically, the next combination KARE
- four cards of the same value. For example, four aces, kings, no matter what. It comes out very rarely. So, if you took it - almost 100% you took the bank. Only two combinations can kill four of a kind. This STREET FLASH
(suit in order). Cards of the same suit, in order. Example: there are 9 of spades on the table, jack of spades, 8 of diamonds, 10 of spades, ace of hearts, you have 8 of spades and queen of spades. All. Bingo! Straight flush. Even if the opponent has two spades (that is, just a flush), you win. Very interest Ask- whose suit is higher. But if you think a little, you will understand that two straight flushes cannot be. Therefore, this is a stupid question. And the last combination. ROYAL FLASH
. The highest cards of the same suit in order - from 10 to the ace. I got it twice in many years of playing. But beginners are lucky, tell me later. She will kill everything. But it comes up very rarely.
The combination of Straight in poker begins combinations in which all five cards are used, that is, there is no kicker. Above set stand Full House Flush Kare Street Flush Royal Flush, and lower High Card-Pair-Two Pair-Set. The combination stands almost in the very middle of the hierarchical ladder of combinations, in the Russian version it is pronounced as Straight(street), but this is not entirely correct. The original English says Straight(straight - order), but Russian-speaking players prefer the first way of pronunciation.
The combination itself is quite strong, with proper play and a bit of luck, it can bring the owner a significant bank. Poker players love the Straight with an ace - a special direction of the combination, which can be both the highest and the lowest, depending on the face value of the cards. Why does this happen and what are the secrets of a set with an ace?
General characteristics of a straight with an ace
A straight consists of five cards following each other in nominal order, the suit of the elements does not play any role, it can be different. If all cards are of the same suit, then it will be another combination - Straight Flush. A combination, for example, might look like this: 6 of hearts, 7 of diamonds, 8 of spades, 9 of hearts, 10 of diamonds. The seniority of the set and the name is determined by the highest card included in it. In this example, the designation will be Street from ten.
The combination of a straight in poker with an ace can be formed in two ways:
- 10, jack, queen, king, ace.
- Ace, 2,3,4,5.
And if everything is clear with the first case: this is the oldest Street, nominally the highest card in it is an ace, then many beginners have problems with the second option. It is not clear to them what place it occupies in the hierarchy and what is its strength.
In all cases, the Straight from Ace to 5 occupies the very first rung in the seniority ranking. The ace here acts as a unit, the combination is called the Straight from the five, it is inferior in strength to other sets in the combination.
Controversial situations with a straight with an ace
With hand rankings, things become clear relatively quickly, with controversial cases at the poker table a little more difficult, but if you delve into it, there should be no problems.
- Two or more poker players have a Straight with an Ace in the variation - 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. Since the combination is the oldest, and kickers are not provided, the pot is divided in equal parts between the applicants.
- Dropped Straight in the variant - ace, 2,3,4,5 for two or more players. The situation is similar to the first one, the winnings are paid to poker players in equal parts.
Beginner confusion sometimes occurs when both types of Straight with an ace are at the table at the same time. You need to firmly grasp: The straight with the highest cards is always higher than other ways of making a combination.
How to use the combination correctly?
The answer to the question - can a straight start with an ace - is yes. This is the youngest combination in the "family", if it fell out, the drawing should be carried out carefully, the combination is still not the strongest in poker. Professionals advise to sensibly comprehend the situation at the table, experienced players, most likely, they will "bite" the owner of the Street. And if they have stronger cards, they will try to withdraw the largest possible pot, if they are weaker, they will simply fold.
The combination, as a rule, is given out by elements on the table lying in a row, the poker player will have the missing links in his hands. Recognizing them is not so difficult, so only with full confidence in success should you go on the attack with a Straight with an ace in your hand.

Every novice player first of all asks what game combinations there are in poker and how they are ranked among themselves. And this is the right approach, because the essence of all poker games is based on combinations and seniority of cards. And today we'll cover everything card combinations poker "Texas Hold'em" - in the most popular version of this wonderful game. In other types of poker games, card combinations may differ slightly, we will also talk about this in our article, where you will also find pictures of poker combinations.
We will consider the combinations of cards in poker in order, starting with the lowest and ending with the highest. The winner in the distribution is the player who has collected a combination of cards better than opponents. In disputable situations, when two or more players have collected the same combinations, the kicker is taken into account.
The lowest hand in poker is the highest card (high card), sometimes it is also called "Empty". The highest card can play only if neither you nor your opponents have collected even one pair. Then the one with one of the pocket cards that is higher than the others will win at the showdown. For example, you have an ace and a nine, and your opponent has a 2 and a queen. Ace over 2 and queens, so you'll take the pot. If there is an ace on the table, and you have a king and 2, the opponent has 7 and a queen, then you will win, because you will have a king - the second most senior card after the ace.
The next most important poker hand is considered to be couple. For this combination, it is enough to have 2 cards of the same rank and any suit, for example, two aces or two deuces. One card may be your pocket card and one card may be on the board, or both cards may be pocket cards. If both cards of this combination are on the table, then your kicker will play the role here.
A kicker is a pocket card that is not involved in making a combination of cards in poker, but can play a role in determining the winner in disputable situations.
Two pairs (two pairs)- 2 cards of the same rank and 2 more cards of the same rank, while the suits can be any. If two or more players make combinations of "2 pair" cards, then the one whose pair is higher will win (the combination of cards two aces and two deuces is higher than two kings and two queens). If both pairs match for two players, then the player with the highest kicker will be the winner. For example, one player has an ace and a king, another has an ace and a three, and on the table there is an ace, two deuces, nine and a jack. In this case, the first player will win in the distribution, having collected a combination of 2 aces, two warriors and a king, which in this case will be the senior kicker.
Set (set, triple, three, trips, tripple, three of a kind)- this poker combination means 3 cards of the same value, for example, three kings or three deuces. It is most commonly referred to as a set or trips, and the differences between the two names lie in the way the combination of cards is collected: a set is 2 pocket + 1 card on the board, and trips is 1 pocket + 2 cards on the board. If two players hit trips, the player with the highest kicker wins.
Straight (straight, straight)- to collect this combination of poker you need to collect 5 cards that go sequentially according to their value, the suit of the cards can be any. For example, 6-7-8-9-10 or 3-4-5-6-7. In Texas Hold'em you can use 1 or both of your hole cards to make a hand. Also, a combination of "street" cards can be on the board, in which case the pot will be divided equally between all participants in the distribution. In this case, an ace can form two combinations at once: 10-jack-queen-king-ace and ace-2-3-4-5 (the second sequence of cards is also called the "wheel").
Flush- this is a combination of cards of the same suit, the value does not matter. For example, ace of hearts, deuce, four, jack and eight. The order of the cards is also not important and can be anything. A flush is considered higher than a straight, pair, set, but is inferior in seniority to a full house, four of a kind, straight flush, etc. If two or more players have a flush, then the winner is the one with the higher flush. For example, on the table 2-5-9-jack of hearts, player number 1 has an ace of hearts, and player number 2 has a king of hearts. Player number 1 will win the hand, since the ace is higher than the king.
Full House- to get this combination of cards in poker, you need 3 cards of the same value and 2 more cards of the same value, for example, three threes and two jacks. The suit of the cards can be any. If two players collect a full house of different denominations, the winner will be determined by the seniority of three identical cards. For example, three deuces and 2 aces are inferior to three kings and two deuces.
Kare (Four of a kind)- all four cards of the same value, for example, four kings or four deuces. If two players hit four of a kind (which is extremely rare), then the poker player whose four of a kind is higher wins (for example, quads of aces are higher than quads of kings). If all 4 four of a kind cards lie on a common board, then the winner is determined by the kicker.
Straight Flush- a very rare layout of cards in poker, a combination consists of five cards of the same suit, going sequentially in their rank. For example, 6-7-8-9-10 of spades or ace-2-3-4-5 of hearts. Royal Flush is one of the varieties of Straight Flush, but it is considered older than it.
Royal Flush- the oldest, and at the same time the rarest combination of cards. To compile it, you need to “catch” 5 cards of the same suit of a specific value, namely 10-queen-jack-king-ace.
Card combinations in other types of poker
In this section, we will consider all card combinations in poker in other disciplines of the game.
Omaha (Omaha)
In this type of poker, the rules are very similar to Hold'em, but players receive 4 cards face down, not two cards. Combinations are played similar to Texas Hold'em, but there are also differences in card composition. If in Hold'em you can use 1, 2 or even none of your cards to make combinations, then in Omaha you must use two hole cards and 3 community board cards to make combinations.
There are also 2 types of Omaha: Hi and Hi-Lo. The first type plays according to the standard rules, that is, the pot is taken by the highest combination. In Omaha Hi-Lo, the best and worst hand. The worst hand is usually called 5 cards of different denominations under nine and different suits. For example, 7-6-5-4-2 offsuit. The lower the cards used to make a combination, the better, so 6-5-4-2-ace will beat the hand in the example, and the “wheel” (5-4-3-2-ace) will be considered the strongest combination, which also has a chance to take both parts of the pot (as the strongest combination, and at the same time as the weakest).
Lowball
This is a type of draw poker that is fundamentally different from classic poker varieties such as Texas Hold'em and Omaha. It differs in the first place winning combinations kart:
Seven low (perfect seven, seven low)- this combination is the highest in the game Lowball, and consists of 5 cards of different ranks and suits, the highest card must be a seven. Example: two, three, four, five and seven. Instead of any of these cards (except for the seven), there may be a six. If two players collect the “Seven Low” combination, then the poker player with cards of lower value will win. For example, a two, three, four, five, and seven combination is stronger than a two, three, four, six, and seven. In the event that all cards of the combination are of the same suit, then this will no longer be a low seven, but a flush, which is considered one of the weakest layouts.
Eight low- any five unpaired cards of different suits under nine. For example, 2-3-4-6-8.
Nine low- any five unpaired cards of different suits under ten. For example, 2-3-4-6-9.
The Ace is the lowest card in poker games such as Lowball, Stud, Razz and Badugi and counts as one.
Razz (Razz)
As in the game of Lowball, here the “wheel”, or from ace to five, is considered the strongest card combination. But unlike the above game, any other combination of cards can also act as a low combination, if it is lower than that of your opponents. For example, you can win even with cards that include a queen (will be called a low queen) or even a couple of cards.
Badugi
It is rightfully considered the most unusual type of poker. Here, poker combinations are made up of four cards that are dealt face down to each player at the beginning of the game, then these cards can be exchanged for others from the deck. There are no common cards, unlike other varieties of poker disciplines. The goal of the game is to make a combination of the lowest ranked cards of different suits.
The best combination in Badugi it counts as two-three-four-ace offsuit (the picture of the poker combination is shown on the left). This nut gives the player a 100% chance of winning the hand. It is customary to call combinations according to the highest card: for example, 4-5-6-7 off-suit will be called “badugi seven”, and 2-3-4-5 “badugi five”. If two players have collected very similar combinations with the same highest card, then the second highest card different from the opponent's hand (or 3, 4 cards) will also appear in the name. So, if player number 1 collected 4-5-6-7 (seven-six badugi) and the other 3-4-5-7 (seven-five badugi), then player number 2 will be the winner.
In combinations in Badugi, it is unacceptable to use pairs and cards of the same suit. Thus, if you get 10 spades, 9 hearts, 3 hearts, 7 clubs, then your combination will look like this: 10p-5h-7k-x (you have two hearts, only the lowest of them is taken into account). Such a combination will be called "three card five", that is, 3 cards (the fourth is not taken into account in this case) and five (the lowest card of three). If you have a jack of spades, 4, 5 and 6 hearts in your hands, then the combination will be called “two card four” (only the jack of spades and the lowest of hearts - four are taken into account).
The seniority of card combinations in Badugi poker is determined as follows: first 4 cards of different suits of different denominations, then 3 cards, then 2, and the worst combination will be 1 card.
Slang names for card combinations in poker
Above we talked about all the main combinations of poker and their most popular titles. You can also often find them on the Internet, or hear from other players their slang names. Let's figure out what they mean.
Gutshot (gutshot)- this is an incomplete combination of a straight, in which one card is missing. Gutshot can be called, for example, such a combination: 3-4-6-7 (there is not enough five here).
Mariage (from French mariage)- literally translated as "wedding", and in poker they call a queen and a king of the same suit.
Hooks (or fishhooks, hooks)- such a nickname was acquired by the jacks for the similarity of their designation (J or Jacks) with fishing gear.
Cowboys- a pair of kings.
Lady- ladies are sometimes called ladies, as well as cowgirls, by analogy with kings.
TNT- dozens have such a name.
Backdoor, runner-runner (backdoor, runner-runner)- a situation where a player needs two cards to come out on the turn and river. For example, you have 7, 8, and there is a jack on the table. Your backdoor will be nine and ten.
snowmen- such a nickname received eights for their shape.
Maverick- sometimes they call the jack and the lady.
Boat or full boat- one of the names of the Full House combination.
Wheel- you can often hear this name in the address of a straight from ace to five (ace-two-three-four-five).
Dead man's hand- pocket ace and eight.
Phil Hellmuth- pocket 9 of spades and 9 of clubs.
Kojak- this is the name of the king and jack cards in the player's hand.
Big Slick (big slick)- pocket ace and king.
rockets- 2 aces in hand.
Doyle Brunson- pocket tens and deuces.
Double sided street is a straight, to complete which you need to deliver a card at the beginning or end. For example, you have 5 and 6 on hand, and 7 and 4 on the board. Eight or three of a kind will help you complete this open-ended straight. 
controversial issues
All card combinations in poker are quite simple to understand, but players, especially beginners, have a lot of questions about this. Let's look at the most common of them.
- Can an ace be used in a combination of straight 5-6-7-8 and the like? After all, it is put to 2-3-4-5.
No you can not. The ace appears in only two straight combinations: from ace to five and from 10 to ace.
- I made A-A-8-8-8 and my opponent 8-8-J-J-J. Why did he win the hand when I have a full house with aces?
In a full house, seniority is determined by three cards, that is, in this case, eights lost to jacks.
- I collected 3 pairs. What combos can I win?
None of the poker disciplines has a combination of cards "3 pair". Only two, the older ones, will be taken into account.
- There are 2 kings, 2 jacks and a three of a kind on the table. I have a three and a seven, my opponent has an ace and a deuce. Who won?
The winner in the hand will be the player who has an ace, since in this case the winner is determined by the kicker, and the ace kicker is higher than three.
- What is the difference between a set and thrips? Are these different combinations?
These two names have the same meaning - 3 cards of the same value. The difference is only in the way this combination is formed: if 2 pocket cards + one on the board are used, then this is a set, and if 1 pocket and 2 cards from the general table, then thrips.
- Who will win the hand if there is a straight on the table?
In this case, the pot will be divided equally among all players who have not left the game until this moment, provided that one of the players does not have a card with which to get a stronger straight. For example, on the table 3-4-5-6-7. If one of the players has 8, he will take the pot.
- Who will win the hand if four of a kind is on the table?
In this situation, the winner will be determined by the kicker (wipe card in hand). If the table is 8-8-8-8-10, and the players have K-2 and 7-6 in their hands, then the one with the king wins.
- What does the combination "Four Flush" mean?
This is a regular flush, which is formed using one player's pocket card and four cards from the community table.
So, we have examined in detail all the card combinations in poker, and also answered the questions of novice players about card combinations. As you can see, there are a lot of them, but they are all quite simple. To better understand how certain combinations of cards are formed, pictures of poker combinations presented in the article in abundance will help you.
