Here are the different cards combinations that you can get in poker, from the lowest to the highest ranking. It is essential to know the value of these combinations to learn how to play with the cards you have in hand.

The Highest ranking card

If during a poker game no player succeeds to form one of the above combinations, not even a pair, the winner is the one that has the stronger card. Ace being the strongest card in poker game.
It is also the highest card that decide between two identical combinations. This card is called "kicker". This notion is important and is frequently involved because 5 cards are shared with all players. For example, if the shared table displays D-D-8-3-2 and you have in your D-10 hand, you'll be beaten by a player who has D - V or D - R.

A pair

Two cards of same rank associated to 3 other cards. The pair of Ace is the highest pair, the pair of 2, the lowest..

Also remember that the gain is not always in relation to the value of your combination in the classification. Everything is relative: you can also well lose with a square that win with a simple pair. Has no difference between win 1000 chips with a three and win 1000 chips with a straight flush.

Two pairs

R R-7-7-2. If two players have each one 2 pairs, the highest pair will win.
For example, A-A-6-6 is stronger than D-D-V-V.
