Odds of Hitting a Royal Flush on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>0.0008% (1 in 122,000)<\/td> 0.0015% (1 in 67,000)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nStraight Flush (8\u2660 7\u2660 6\u2660 5\u2660 4\u2660)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A Straight Flush is the second strongest hand in poker, with only a Royal Flush being higher in the poker hand rankings. This hand is made up of five consecutive cards of a single suit, such as 8\u2660 7\u2660 6\u2660 5\u2660 4\u2660. A Straight Flush comes your way once in a blue moon in Texas Hold\u2019em and is a true poker powerhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are dealt a Straight Flush, you can be pretty sure you have the winning hand. For example, 8\u2660 7\u2660 6\u2660 5\u2660 4\u2660 beats any Four-of-a-Kind or even a smaller Straight Flush like 6\u2660 5\u2660 4\u2660 3\u2660 2\u2660. The high end of a Straight Flush is always the best possible hand on any board in poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only 1 in 72,193 poker hands turn into a Straight Flush by the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting a Straight Flush on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>0.02% (1 in 4,900)<\/td> 0.031% (1 in 3,200)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFour-of-a-Kind (9\u2663 9\u2666 9\u2665 9\u2660 A\u2663)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Four-of-a-Kind, also known as Quads, is a slightly more realistic poker hand to make in Texas Hold\u2019em Poker. The hand is made up of four cards of the same ranking, along with one other card that acts as the kicker. For example: 9\u2663 9\u2666 9\u2665 9\u2660A\u2663. It is the third-best hand in the poker hand rankings, and on most boards, it is the best possible hand, also known as the nuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will not make Quads too often, but the hand will allow you to beat a full house and all lower-ranked hands. Keep in mind that Quads can also lose to higher Quads, such as 9\u2663 9\u2666 9\u2665 9\u2660 A\u2663 losing to J\u2663J\u2666 J\u2665 J\u2660 7\u2663. Quads also lose to any Straight Flush or Royal Flush by default. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only 1 in 4,165 Texas Hold\u2019em hands become Quads, provided the hand goes all the way to the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting Four of a Kind on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>0.24% (1 in 416)<\/td> 0.40% (1 in 250)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFull House (K\u2660 K\u2663 K\u2666 5\u2660 5\u2666)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A Full House is one of the strongest poker hands you will get relatively often. It is made up of three cards of one ranking and two cards of another, such as: K\u2660 K\u2663 K\u2666 5\u2660 5\u2666. In layman\u2019s terms, if you have Three-of-a-Kind plus One Pair, you hold a Full House. You make a Full House once in 694 hands, which makes it a much more common hand than the likes of a Straight Flush or Quads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Full House beats any Flush, Straight, or lower-ranked hand. On the other hand, a Full House automatically loses to Quads, a Straight Flush, or a Royal Flush. If two Full Houses go head-to-head, the one with the higher trips wins. For example, your K\u2660 K\u2663 K\u2666 5\u2660 5\u2666 would beat Q\u2666 Q\u2663 Q \u2660A\u2666 A\u2660, but lose to A\u2660 A\u2666 A \u2663 2\u2663 2\u2666, because three Kings beat three Queens, but lose to three Aces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Full House pops up every 1 in 694 hands of poker if all five community cards are revealed. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting a Full House on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>0.14% (1 in 694)<\/td> 0.20% (1 in 500)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFlush (A\u2663 10\u2663 8\u2663 5\u2663 2\u2663)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A Flush consists of five cards of the same suit in any order (e.g., A\u2663 10\u2663 8\u2663 5\u2663 2\u2663). Similar to a Full House, not all Flushes are created equal! A higher Flush always beats a lower Flush. The ranking of the Flush is determined by the highest card in the hand. A Flush also beats all lower-ranked poker hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you hold K\u2665 9\u2665 7\u2665 4\u2665 3\u2665, and your opponent has A\u2665 10\u2665 8\u2665 5\u2665 2\u2665, their Flush would win because the Ace is higher than your King. So even though both hands are Flushes, the one with the highest top card wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Texas Hold’em, the odds of getting this hand are 1 in 508, provided the hand goes all the way to the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting a Flush on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>0.82% (1 in 122)<\/td> 1.55% (1 in 64)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nStraight (9\u2660 8\u2663 7\u2666 6\u2665 5\u2660)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A Straight is made up of five consecutive cards of different suits (e.g., 9\u2660 8\u2663 7\u2666 6\u2665 5\u2660). A Straight can include multiple cards of the same suit, and any mix of suits has the same value. A Straight is a strong poker hand, as it beats any Three-of-a-Kind, Two Pair, or One Pair. However, it can also lose to hands like Flushes, Full Houses, Quads, or higher Straights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If two Straights go up against each other, the higher straight wins. For example, your 9\u2660 8\u2663 7\u2666 6\u2665 5\u2660 wins against your opponent\u2019s 7\u2666 6\u2660 5\u2665 4\u2660 3\u2666. If two players have the same Straight, they chop the pot up, regardless of the suits of their cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Texas Hold\u2019em, you will make a straight in one of every 254 hands if you go all the way to the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting a Straight on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>1.31% (1 in 76)<\/td> 2.11% (1 in 47)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThree-of-a-Kind (7\u2660 7\u2663 7\u2666 K\u2663 J\u2660)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Three-of-a-Kind is a poker hand made up of three cards of the same ranking, along with two other cards that act as kickers. For example, if you have 7\u2660 7\u2663 7\u2666 K\u2663 J\u2660, you hold Three-of-a-Kind. This hand can be made in two ways. When made with two hole cards and one community card, the hand is called a Set. When made with one hole card and two community cards, the hand is called Trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you have a Set or Trips, you will beat any Two Pair or One Pair combo but lose to any Straight, Flush, or higher. If two players have the same Three-of-a-Kind hand, the tie is decided by comparing kickers. A higher Three-of-a-Kind beats a lower one in every case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Texas Hold’em, the odds of being dealt Three of a Kind are 1 in 46 when all cards are taken into consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting Three of a Kind on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>11.8% (1 in 8)<\/td> 15.35% (1 in 6.5)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTwo Pair (Q\u2660 Q\u2663 5\u2665 5\u2660 A\u2665)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The next hand in our poker hand rankings is Two Pair, made up of two pairs of cards of the same ranking. For example, Q\u2660 Q\u2663 5\u2665 5\u2660 A\u2665 makes for two pair Queens and Fives, with an Ace kicker. Two Pair beats any One Pair or High Card, but loses to any Three-of-a-Kind, Straight, Flush, or higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Two Pair goes up against another Two Pair, the player with the highest top pair wins. For example, your Q\u2660 Q\u2663 5\u2665 5\u2660 A\u2665 loses to K\u2663 K\u2665 2\u2660 2\u2663 5\u2666, but wins against J\u2660 J\u2665 T\u2665 T\u2663 A\u2666, since your Queens are lower than Kings, but higher than Jacks. If two players have the same Two Pair, the kicker is used to break the tie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Texas Hold\u2019em, the chances of having Two Pair by the river are 1 in 21. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting Two Pair on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>16.1% (1 in 6.2)<\/td> 23.5% (1 in 4.2)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne Pair (A\u2660 A\u2663 K\u2666 T\u2660 7\u2666)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n One Pair is the lowest \u201cmade hand\u201d in poker, built with two cards of the same ranking. For example, A\u2660 A\u2663 K\u2666 T\u2660 7\u2666 makes for One Pair of Aces with a King kicker. One Pair is a very common poker hand that only beats other One Pair hands and High Card hands, while losing to any Two Pair, Three-of-a-Kind, or higher-ranked hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Pair going up against another One Pair is a very common scenario in poker. In these situations, the higher-ranked One Pair generally wins the hand. However, if two players have the same One Pair hand, the players\u2019 kickers decide who takes down the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Texas Hold\u2019em, you will have One Pair in 1 of ever 2. 37 hands that go to showdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Hitting One Pair on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>29% (1 in 3.4)<\/td> 43% (1 in 2.3)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHigh Card (A\u2660 K\u2665 T\u2660 7\u2665 4\u2663)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A High Card is the lowest hand on the poker hand rankings chart, made up of five cards that don\u2019t make any pairs, straights, or flushes. A High Card loses to any made hand, and can only beat another High Card hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If two High Card hands to go up against each other, the one with the highest card wins. For example, a player holding A\u2660 4\u2663 beats a player holding K\u2660 Q\u2665, simply because the Ace is higher than a King. If the top card is the same, the next best card is used to break the tie. This keeps going until one player has a higher card in their hand to win the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High Card is the most common poker hand, with 1 in 1.99 poker hands ending as a High Hand by showdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\nStage of the Game<\/strong><\/td>Texas Hold’em Odds<\/strong><\/td>Omaha Odds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Odds of Ending Up with a High Card on the Flop<\/strong><\/td>48% (1 in 2.1)<\/td> 34% (1 in 2.9)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPoker Hand Absolute Value vs. Relative Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The absolute value of the hand, as seen in the poker hand rankings chart, determines its value compared to other poker hands in a vacuum. For example, a Full House is one of the stronger hands in poker, and its absolute value is quite high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when playing poker, you will often care more about the relative value of your hand. The relative value refers to the value of your hand relative to the board. For example, if the board is J\u2660 J\u2665 7\u2660 7\u2665 K\u2663, and you have A\u2663 7\u2663, your relative hand strength is not that high. Yes, you do have a Full House, but your opponent could easily have a higher Full House with any hand containing a Jack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to consider your relative hand strength when playing poker. Don\u2019t get married to a Flush or a Full House simply because their absolute hand strength is high. Consider the board and evaluate your relative hand strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is One Suit Ranked Higher Than Other Suits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In most situations in poker, each suit has the exact same value. Suits don\u2019t help determine the winner of the hand in any situation in Texas Hold\u2019em Poker. There are a few rare situations where suits do matter, such as when determining the dealer button. In this case, the ranking of suits is Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs, from highest to lowest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some variations of poker, some of which are rarely played these days, in which suits played a much bigger role. However, in games like Texas Hold\u2019em and Pot Limit Omaha, suits serve a mostly decorative purpose and don\u2019t have much value of their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poker Hand Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Poker is played with a deck of 52 cards, and each starting hand combination gives you a chance of making various poker hands. Depending on your hole cards, the odds of making strong poker hands like Straights, Flushes, and Quads change quite a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing the poker odds and probabilities of making certain types of poker hands can be quite beneficial when you are making the decisions in-game. The table below gives you some insight into how likely you are to make the strongest poker hands with different starting card combinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/td> Hand<\/strong><\/td>Odds to Make on Flop<\/strong><\/td>Odds to Make on Turn<\/strong><\/td>Odds to Make on Turn or River<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Royal Flush<\/strong><\/td>A\u2663K\u2663<\/td> 0.005%<\/td> ~2%<\/td> ~4%<\/td><\/tr> Straight Flush<\/strong><\/td>8\u26639\u2663<\/td> 0.02%<\/td> ~4% (Open-ended draw)<\/td> ~8% (Open ended draw)<\/td><\/tr> Four of a Kind<\/strong><\/td>A\u2660A\u2665<\/td> 0.24%<\/td> ~1% (Three of a kind)<\/td> ~2% (Three of a kind)<\/td><\/tr> Full House<\/strong><\/td>K\u2666K\u2660<\/td> 0.98%<\/td> ~18% (Set)<\/td> ~30% (Set)<\/td><\/tr> Flush<\/strong><\/td>K\u2665Q\u2665<\/td> 0.8%<\/td> ~18% (Flush draw)<\/td> ~36% (Flush draw)<\/td><\/tr> Straight<\/strong><\/td>8\u26607\u2663<\/td> 1.3%<\/td> ~16% (Open-ended draw)<\/td> ~32% (Open-ended draw)<\/td><\/tr> Three of a Kind<\/strong><\/td>9\u26639\u2666<\/td> 11.8%<\/td> ~4% (One pair)<\/td> ~8% (One pair)<\/td><\/tr> Two Pair<\/strong><\/td>J\u2665T\u2660<\/td> 2%<\/td> ~6% (One pair)<\/td> ~12% (One pair)<\/td><\/tr> One Pair<\/strong><\/td>A\u2666Q\u2665<\/td> 29%<\/td> ~12% (High Card)<\/td> ~24% (High card)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that poker odds change quite significantly when playing Pot Limit Omaha. Starting with four instead of two hole cards makes all the difference, which is why absolute hand strength of each hand goes down in value when playing PLO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texas Hold\u2019em vs. Omaha: Hand Odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n In Texas Hold’em, you receive two hole cards, while in Omaha, you\u2019re dealt four. This extra set of cards in PLO gives you more possibilities to hit a strong hand. For example, the odds of hitting a Flush or Straight are better in Omaha because you have more potential combinations. If you\u2019re holding suited connectors in Hold’em, the chances of hitting a Flush on the flop are about 0.82%, but in Omaha, those odds nearly double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Texas Hold\u2019em hand rankings and Omaha hand rankings are technically the same, hands tend to have more absolute value in NLH. The table below shows the difference in the odds between making major poker hands in NLH vs. PLO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
