the rank of hands in poker
is just as important as
knowing the rules
themselves. Be sure to
know what beats what, so
you won't be surprised the
next time that flush beats
your straight. Be sure to
check out the Hand
Rank FAQ to help
answer questions you might
have about the ranking of
hands in Texas Hold'em.
The
hands are in order from
