Poker hand rankings
Ten hand categories, one fixed order. Skim the chart, then drill it below — that's where it sticks.
A-K-Q-J-10, all one suit. The unbeatable hand.
Five cards in a row, all one suit.
Four cards of the same rank ("quads").
Three of a kind plus a pair.
Five cards of one suit, any order.
Five cards in a row, mixed suits.
Three cards of the same rank ("trips").
Two different pairs.
Two cards of the same rank.
Nothing connects — the top card plays.
Two rules cover the tricky cases: hands are compared by category first (any flush beats any straight), and inside the same category the higher ranks win (an ace-high flush beats a king-high flush).

Trainer: which hand is stronger?
Two standalone five-card hands, names hidden — read the cards and tap the stronger one. (Sharing a board with an opponent is the next drill.)
