3. Poker hand ranking

Every player gets 2 cards that the other players can not see. These are called hole cards or pocket cards. In addition, you get 5 community cards, which are exposed during the game to all participants. The goal is to get the best poker hand with 5 of 7 cards. It does not matter if 5 of your cards are made up of your own cards or the community cards.

Here is a poker hand ranking starting with a royal flush as the best combination and the high card as the worst one:
