The usual hierarchy of poker hands from highest to lowest runs as follows (standard poker hands are 💶 in italics):[3]

Royal Flush : The highest straight flush, A-K-Q-J-10 suited.

: The highest straight flush, A-K-Q-J-10 suited. Skeet flush : The 💶 same cards as a skeet (see below) but all in the same suit. [4]

: The same cards as a skeet 💶 (see below) but all in the same suit. Straight flush : When wild cards are used, a wild card becomes 💶 whichever card is necessary to complete the straight flush, or the higher of the two cards that can complete an 💶 open-ended straight flush. For example, in the hand 10♠ 9♠ (Wild) 7♠ 6♠ , it becomes the 8♠ , and 💶 in the hand (Wild) Q♦ J♦ 10♦ 9♦ , it plays as the K♦ (even though the 8♦ would also 💶 make a straight flush).
