The lowest thing you can have is no matching cards at all. This is referred to as a high card, which would be the highest card in your hand. The next lowest thing is to have a pair. This is any two cards with the same value, such as a pair of nines.
Learn to Play Poker
When you learn to play poker, the most crucial thing is to learn the ranking of hands. To continue, after a pair comes two pair which is two separate pairs. Then comes three of a kind, which would be something like three tens.
Following, you have a straight, a flush, and a full house respectively. A straight is any five cards that are in numerical order, a flush is any five cards with the same suit, such as all hearts, and a full house is a pair matched with three of a kind. The last two are four of a kind and a straight flush. A straight flush is five cards that are in consecutive numerical order and all have the same suit. When you play poker and have a straight flush, you are sure to win whatever money is in the pot.
