Texas Hold'em
Verdict
There are no points. Hands rank, highest first: Royal flush — A-K-Q-J-10, one suit; Straight flush — five in sequence, one suit; Four of a kind
Why people argue about this
People often assume that scoring points is part of Texas Hold'em poker, which isn't true according to official rules. But they get confused when they see hands like a Royal Flush or Straight Flush ranked so high, thinking these must be worth something in terms of points, when in fact, the only ranking system given by the rule is for determining who wins a hand.
Send this to your friend — argument over.
There are no points. Hands rank, highest first:
At showdown the best hand takes the pot. Identical hands split it — suits never break the tie.
