General Rules:
-Individual cards are ranked A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A
-Suits have no value
-Hands are ranked first by category, then by individual card ranks
Here are the hands (best to worst):
STRAIGHT FLUSH: contains five cards in sequence (Q? J? 10? 9? 8?)
FOUR OF A KIND/QUADS: such as 9? 9? 9? 9? J?, which contains four cards of one rank, and an unmatched card of another rank.
FULL HOUSE: such as 3? 3? 3? 6? 6?, which contains three matching cards of one rank, and two matching cards of another rank.
FLUSH: such as Q? 10? 7? 6? 4?, which contains five cards of the same suit, not in rank sequence.
STRAIGHT: such as Q? J? 10? 9? 8?, which contains five cards of sequential rank but in more than one suit.
