Your two cards first, then the board. T or 10 for tens.

How to use the hand analyzer

  1. Tap the first slot under Your hand and choose your two hole cards.
  2. Add the community cards as they come: three on the flop, one on the turn, one on the river.
  3. Read your result. The analyzer picks the best five cards out of everything you entered and names the hand.

You can enter anything from two to seven cards. With fewer than five, the analyzer tells you what you hold so far, such as a pair or three of a kind. Tap a filled slot to change that card.

What the result tells you

Texas Hold'em hands are always five cards, even though you can see seven. The analyzer tries every five-card combination and keeps the strongest one. The cards from your own hand are edged in gold, so you can see whether your hole cards actually play or whether the board is doing the work.

Next to the hand you'll see its place in the ranking, from #1 for a royal flush to #10 for high card, and how often a player makes that hand by the river. A flush, for example, shows up in 3.03% of seven-card hands.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best hand in Texas Hold'em?

A royal flush: ace, king, queen, jack and ten of the same suit. It can't be beaten, only tied, and a player makes one in about 1 of every 30,940 seven-card hands.

Does a flush beat a straight?

Yes. A flush ranks above a straight because it's harder to make. Five cards of one suit come up about 3.03% of the time by the river, a straight about 4.62%.

Do I have to use both of my hole cards?

No. Your hand is the best five cards out of your two hole cards and the five on the board. You can use both hole cards, one, or none. When the five board cards are your best hand, you "play the board".

What happens when two players have the same hand?

The rest of the five cards decide it. Two players with a pair of aces compare their next-highest cards, called kickers. If all five cards match in rank, the pot is split. Suits never break a tie.
