rules

I know that this might sound a silly question, but here it goes

which is the correct order between and


I know that spades are the biggest ... what next?

what do you mean? No color is higher than the other if that is what you ask? or at least not at texas holdem

Actually there is a suit ranking, but the only place you'll see it is in a "Chip Race", where lower denomination chips are exchanged for higher ones. In a chip race the hand ranking for poker is typically SHCD.

you also see this at the beginning of every tourney .. when the first hand begins ... every player is dealt 1 card face up, and the player that gets the highest card is the dealer ... and if 2 or more players get the same card, the suit counts

hmmmmmmm,

I always thought if 2 players got the same card in 1st the just drew again. Just the 2 of them.

I think it As, Ah, Ac, Ad.

I could be wrong though.

Imagine if the suited counted in Holdem.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... I don't even want to think about it.

In 7 card stud high or low the ranks are:
7-Card Stud High

The highest hand wins the pot. The object of the game is to obtain the highest ranking hand to win the pot. On the first round, the low card by suit is required to initiate the action with a bet. Suits are ranked: Spades (highest), Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs. On subsequent rounds, the high hand showing initiates the betting action. If hands are tied, the player to the left of the dealer acts first.

From [broken link ~tb]

The suits are ranked in reverse alphabetical order...

Not many games use these rankings but there are official rankings of the suits.

Most powerful to least powerful:

Spades

Hearts

Diamonds

Clubs

I always thought that it was hearts, diamonds, clubs then spades? I thought that the red suits were always above the black. Is this just a total lie ive learnt? lol

Total Lie, I always knew Spades where first, but know I know the order

there is none poker card games where hearts is ranked the highest, I just cant remember what the games are called.. Used to play it when I was younger when we were out with the boat...

you got me all confused ... so .. wich is the correct ranking?

we're talking about texas hold'em

It only applies when you draw a card to determine who's the dealer to start. If two players draw Aces, then you go by suit rankings.

yes .. that is what I am trying to say ... but which is the correct ranking ... ?

from all the replies so far, I can only say for sure that spades are the highest

If card ranks apply, how can the hands ever be tied?

This has been said about 6 times so far on this thread, you shouldnt need any more replies.

This does not effect in any way which hand is a winner, it ONLY applies to who starts the game as the dealer.

I've got it now crippler, but I was confused, because, as you can see from the quotes here, some of the members didn't quite agree

i never knew there was a rank between suits???
