High Card = Junk
A pair is... a pair. One pairing of the same card in your hand - and that's it.
Two Pair - two different pairings in one hand.
Three of a kind, trips, or a set - three of your 5 poker cards are the same.
A straight is a run of 5 cards in numerical order that are not suited. If 2 hands in a game result in straights, the one with the highest card wins.
A flush is 5 suited cards that do not run in numerical order. If 2 hands in a game result in flushes, the one with the highest card wins.
A Full House, a Full Boat, or just a Boat is a combination of 3 of a kind and a pair in the same hand. Highest 3 of a kind dictates which Full House beats another.
4 of a kind is having the same card in each of the four suits in one hand.
A straight flush are 5 cards in numerical order of the same suit.
A Royal Flush is the best hand in the game. Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 all in the same suit.
