What would you say is the absolute worst poker hand? and the best poker hand?

[Lisa K]

It's for a music video I'm making, one part refers to a game of poker type card game, and there's a person with an awful hand, and life who has an amazing hand. So the person decides to 'fold' ....it makes more sense in context :PSo a bad hand is a bunch of diffrent ones right? What would that be like? 2 of spades, 4 of clubs, 7 of hearts...? And a good hand would be... all the same? Would there be some sort of order or are some cards better than others?I'm thinking it would be a 5 card hand, thats the most common I think.I don't play poker much. So thanks

The worst is if you have "nothing" i.e. not even a pair of deuces, and the best is a Royal Flush(A Flush that includes the Jack, Queen, King and Ace of that suit.)

Well, in a game like Texas Hold'em, the worst two-card "starting hand" is 2-7 offsuit. The best starting hand is a Pair of Aces (AA).

Like Chris already mentioned, the worst five card hand is something like;
A-2-10-7-Q - high card only with a mix of suits. From there, the order of poker hands goes;

• One Pair
• Two Pair
• Three-of-a-kind
• Straight
• Flush
• Full House
• Four-of-a-kind
• Straight Flush
• Royal Flush
