Rule of poker hands & rankings

If two or more hands are the same ranking, the winner is the one having the higher cards. For example, a Flush with an Ace high beats a Flush with a King high. If the poker hands remain tied, then the highest card not being held in common (the kicker) determines the winner. Most online card rooms follow the standard rule of poker. A poker tip of the trade is to make sure you have these hand rankings memorized.
