What Hands Do You Get in Poker?

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: What Hands Do You Get in Poker?
Answer: The order of hands is based on the probability of the hand being dealt

hand number Probability
straight flush 40 .000015
4-of-a-kind 624 .00024
full house 3,744 .00144
flush 5,108 .0020
straight 10,200 .0039
3-of-a-kind 54,912 .0211
two pairs 123,552 .0475
pair 1,098,240 .4226
high card 1,302,540 .5012

however if you play with one or more wild cards, some hands will become more probable than as listed above, five of a kind becomes a possible hand, and the order of the hands, from rarest to most common, may change in the process.

    The standard five-card Poker hands are ranked here in order of strength, from the strongest Poker hand to the weakest.
    Royal Flush
    This is the best possible hand in standard five-card Poker. Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10, all of the same suit.
    Straight Flush
    Any five-card sequence in the same suit (e.g.: 8, 9, 10, Jack and Queen of clubs; or 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of diamonds).
    Four of a Kind
    All four cards of the same value (e.g.: 8, 8, 8, 8; or Queen, Queen, Queen, Queen).
    Full House
    Three of a kind combined with a pair (e.g.: 10, 10, 10 with 6, 6; or King, King, King with 5, 5).
    Flush
    Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence (e.g.: 4, 5, 7, 10 and King of spades).
    Straight
    Five cards in sequence, but not in the same suit (e.g.: 7 of clubs, 8 of clubs, 9 of diamonds, 10 of spades and Jack of diamonds).
    Three of a Kind
    Three cards of the same value (e.g.: 3, 3, 3; or Jack, Jack, Jack).
    Two Pair
    Two separate pairs (e.g.: 2, 2, Queen, Queen).
    Pair
    Two cards of the same value (e.g.: 7, 7).
    High Card
    If a Poker hand contains none of the above combinations, it’s valued by the highest card in it.

    Generally accepted order for 5 card poker (e.g. Texas Holdem) is:

    - highest card
    - 1 pair
    - 2 pairs
    - 3 of a kind
    - straight (cards in a run, not same suit)
    - flush (all cards same suit)
    - full house (3 of a kind, plus a pair)
    - 4 of a kind
    - straight flush (cards in a run, same suit)

    Where two players have the same hand, the person with the next highest card wins (this is known as the "kicker").

    Oh, and the link cattyf didn’t post is this:

    Royal Flush A – 10 same suit
    Straight Flush 5 conecting cards of the same suit
    4 of a Kind – 4 cards of same value
    Full House – 3 of a Kind and a Pair
    Flush – Any five cards of the same suit
    Straight – Any five connecting cards
    3 of a Kind – 3 cards of same value
    2 Pairs – 2 different value Pairs
    Pair – 2 cards same value
    High Card – Any hand that does not have any of the above

    The best hand I have ever seen is a K – 9 Straight Flush on one of my poker games on the ps2.
