Explanation of Let it Ride hand rankings
There are nine types of hands in all that you could with at the
tables, and one that you will always lose with which is a pair of
cards lower than 10.
The lowest hand you can play is a pair.
With a pair, you must get two cards of same value or face, along
with three other cards that don't match. Say you have a hand with
Q, Q, K, 3, and 4. That would mean you have a pair of queens. With
pairs, they ranked by their value, highest being aces and lowest
being twos, but in Let it Ride; the minimum would be a pair of tens.
The next highest hand is Two Pair. Two pair is
having two sets of equal value cards and a fifth without a match,
such as K, K, J, J, 2.
Next step above Two Pair is Three of a Kind, which
is three matching cards in your hand with two non-matching cards.
10, 10, 10, 3, 9 would be said as three tens.
A Straight is next above those and is made up
of five cards of different suits in numerical order. For example,
5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of different suits is read as a straight, if an
ace is present then it could be used as a high or low number depending
on what it is needed for.
Holding next in rank is a Flush, consisting of
five cards in suit. Such as, 3, 4, 10, J, and K of spades, make
a flush.
Ranking above a Flush is a Full House; a hand
made up of a Three of a Kind and a Pair. If you hold three kings
and two aces, your hand is a full house.
Next in ranking is Four of a Kind consisting of
four cards of the same value and another card of a different value,
for example, K, K, K, K, 10.
The top two hands are the Straight Flush, five
cards of a suit in numerical order with the highest card lower than
an ace, and the Royal Flush, A, K, Q, J, 10 of
the same suit. Straight Flush is less the Royal Flush but is above
everything else, and Royal Flush holds dominance above all other
hands
