The link to the Missouri gambling site is now out of date and needs to be updated.
Japan section reads as though it was written by the gambling industry - quotes of 160% returns are 'citation needed'.

I moved the Skeet Flush back to its original position. A Skeet Flush is rarer than a Straight Flush and should be higher; there are 24 possible Skeet Flush hands and 44 possible Straight Flush hands (40 if you count Royal Flushs as a seperate hand). MK 01:27, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Umm....How high would a hand with AAAA and KKK rank? Over Royal Flush?

Skeets and Straights.

In that case, a Skeet should be higher than a Straight. No?

I'll be the first to admit the ranks don't always follow mathematical logic. The odds of getting a Big Tiger, a Little Tiger, a Big Dog, a Little Dog, or a Five and Dime are all the same. And all are harder to get than a standard Flush which beats them. And all these hands beat a Little Bobtail which is a harder hand to get. (I found the odds incidentally at this site - http://www.neo-tech.com/poker/appendixd.html - but I've confirmed the rankings at other sites as well.) MK 04:46, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Russ?

Would a Russ rank between One Pair and Four Straight?--Sonjaaa 09:48, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Re-sorted

I re-sorted the hands by the order they were in pre-merge, to make the existing statement that the hands were ordered not be a lie. However, there were a couple new hands added in the alphabetical list, and I had to guess at their positions. These were all noted as being ranked between one-pair and two-pair, but there was no indication of how they compared to each other: Flush House, Four Flush, and Russ.

Also, I wasn't 100% sure of how to place Wheel.

Also also, I wasn't logged in when I made the edit (sorry about that).

It may make sense to separate the wheel out into a subsection, like the cats & dogs, given that its ranking is variable. — Gwalla | Talk 23:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

3 and four card hands

where would the hand rankings for games like guts and badugi go? they use three and four cards respectively, so they aren't special home-brewed rankings of a five card hand, but rather different beasts that are game-specific.

In their respective articles. They are not used in poker. — Gwalla | Talk 21:59, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
