Poker is a card game in which players bet into a central pot, with the winner being the player with the best hand. The best hand is determined by the ranking of the cards in the hand, with the highest-ranking hand being a royal flush (A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit) and the lowest-ranking hand being a high card (any five cards that do not form a pair or higher).

There are ten different poker hands, ranked from highest to lowest:

1. Royal Flush: A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit

2. Straight Flush: Five cards in a row, all of the same suit

3. Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank

4. Full House: Three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank

5. Flush: Five cards of the same suit

6. Straight: Five cards in a row

7. Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank

8. Two Pair: Two sets of two cards of the same rank

9. One Pair: Two cards of the same rank

10. High Card: Any five cards that do not form a pair or higher

The ranking of poker hands is based on the probability of making each hand. A royal flush is the rarest hand, and therefore the highest-ranking hand. A high card is the most common hand, and therefore the lowest-ranking hand.

When two players have the same hand, the pot is split between them. For example, if two players both have a pair of aces, the pot will be split between them.

Poker is a game of skill and chance. The skill element comes from making good decisions about when to bet, raise, fold, or call. The chance element comes from the fact that the cards are dealt randomly.

Poker is a popular game that is played all over the world. It is a challenging game to master, but it can be very rewarding.
