The standard poker hands are ranked based on the probability of their
being dealt pat in 5 cards from a full 52-card deck. The following table
lists the hands in order of increasing frequency, and shows how many
ways each hand can be dealt in 3,and 5, cards.
Hand 3 cards 5 cards 7 cards
==== ======= ======= =======
Straight Flush 48 40 41,584
Four of a Kind 0 624 224,848
Full House 0 3,744 3,473,184
Flush 1,096 5,108 4,047,644
Straight 720 10,200 6,180,020
Three of a Kind 52 54,912 6,461,620
Two Pair 0 123,552 31,433,400
One Pair 3,744 1,098,240 58,627,800
High Card 16,440 1,302,540 23,294,460
=================================================================
TOTALS 22,100 2,598,960 133,784,560
Notes:
1. The standard rankings are incorrect for 3-card hands, since it is
easier to get a flush than a straight, and easier to get a straight than
three of a kind. See the entry on three-card rankings.
2. For 7-card hands, the numbers reflect the best possible 5-card hand
out of the 7 cards. For instance, a hand that contains both a straight
and three of a kind is counted as a straight.
3. For 7-card hands, only five cards need be in sequence to make a
straight, or of the same suit to make a flush. In a 3-card hand a
sequence of three is considered a straight, and three of the same suit a
flush. These rules reflect standard poker practice.
4. In a 7-card hand, it is easier for one's *best* 5 cards to have one
or two pair than no pair. (Good bar bet opportunity!) However, if we
changed the ranking to value no pairs above two pairs, all of the one
pair hands and most of the two pair hands would be able to qualify for
"no pair" by choosing a different set of five cards.
