Best Poker Hands

The best poker hands you can make are not often seen at the poker tables. The Royal Flush is the biggest possible poker hand, and is rare to find.

When looking at the best possible poker hands, it is important to remember that having a very strong hand is all well and good, but if nobody else has anything to put chips in with, it isn’t much use. With that in mind, you could say that the best possible poker hands will always be those that are fractionally better than anyone elses at the table. I would happily take an Ace Flush against a King Flush rather than a Royal Flush against Ace high, because I will be paid off in the first instance.

The best hands are not always the standard poker hands which you find in games such as Holdem, as there are also variants that require a different type of hand to be made. These games are hi/lo variants usually, although there are other different games such as Badugi, but that isn’ really a form of poker as such. This hi/lo aspect applies to Razz too, which is recognised as a poker game, but only involves players trying to make the lowest unpaired five card hand.

In the cases of hi/lo games, (A,2,3,4,5) would be the best possible poker hand as the Ace counts as low. You could of course look at the best poker hands in terms of memorable poker hands, and most players will have a few of these type of hands. Hands can be memorable for a number of reasons, but usually it is a case of a final hand having won you a tournament, an extremely strong hand, or even simply a huge bluff. The best poker hands can be examined in many different ways but overall, you have to say that any hand you win is a good one.
