All hands in order
All standard poker hands in descending order are royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, and high card.
Why the list starts with rare hands
The strongest hands are also the rarest. Royal flushes and straight flushes do not appear often, while one pair and high-card hands appear constantly and create many close decisions.
The list is not a preflop range
A list of all poker hands is not the same thing as a starting-hand range. Tournament preflop ranges depend on effective stack, position, antes, and previous action.
Using the list with JustShove
After learning the ranking list, practice specific short-stack spots. Try suited aces, pocket pairs, and broadway hands from different positions to see how the recommended action changes.
