Poker card sequences are vital to winning any card game variation. These are five-card combinations that we see prevailing in community card games like Texas Holdem and Omaha prominently. The strategy you employ and the way you make use of your table position ultimately rely on your cards' strength. There are ten poker hands in total, and the higher your combination ranks, the rarer it is and the more chances you will have at winning the game. 

However, despite having a giant hand, you could still lose, or at least not win as much as you anticipate. Similarly, you could have a mediocre combination and sweep the prize. This is simply because of the dynamics that emerge in competitive games where participants are continually bluffing, limping, and playing in manners that submerge their poker hands' relevance. Even then, as a beginner, you must know of the ten primary poker hand sequences to be confident at the table and play with some precision. So, let us look at them. 

Royal Flush 

Ranking above every other combination, this hand is unbeatable. Having the King, Queen, Jack, Ace and Ten from the same suit gives you the Royal Flush. 

Straight Flush 

The Royal Flush is often referred to as the best possible Straight Flush. This is because having five cards from the same suit in a sequential order gives you a second-strongest hand. 

Four of a Kind 

Ranking at number, you will have yourself the Four of a Kind if you hold four cards of the same rank. 

Full House 

Up next, we have a strong hand that is not too rare. Having three cards of the same rank and two other cards of the same rank gives you the Full House. 

Flush 

Flushes rank right in between where they are certainly uncommon, but not too much. Having five cards from the same suit gives you this combination. 

Straight 

Straights are known to win most regular games, and they are worth relying on. Hold five cards in sequential order regardless of their suits, and that gives you the Straight. 

Three of a Kind 

Much like the name suggests, having three cards of the same rank gives you this hand. 

Two Pair 

Coming to the bottom of the table, having two cards of the same rank along with two other cards of the same rank gives you the Two Pair. 

Pair 

Hold two cards of the same rank, and that gives you the Pair. 

High Card 

When your hand does not match any other combination, you have the High Card. It is suggested that you fold this hand and try again in another game. 

Inference 

There you have it, the ten different poker hands and that is what you need to know to form a strong base in the game. Do not be too lost thinking about elements like poker odds calculators and bluff strategies because they all come later. As of now, learn all you can about the basics of poker.
