Poker hands are ranked the way they are due to the probability of each hand, the higher the probability the higher the rank. For example a Straight Flush only occurs once in 64,973 hands compared to One Pair which occurs every 1.37 hands, a Straight Flush is therefore ranked higher then One Pair.
General rules
Best five card hand - highest ranked hand followed by highest ranked card, the kicker, but only 5 cards used e.g. no kicker when hand is a Full House.
Each card is ranked from A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A (low - when part of a ranked hand).
Suits have no value.
Hand rankings are arranged in order of rank (probability).
