10 best poker hands

 

 

1.- As-As

 

This is the hand that every expert player in the world who plays hold'em wishes they had. It is the best possible hand and the one where you will win the most money. It is also known as “American Airlines” y “pocket rockets”.

 

2.- King-King

 

The two kings is the second best hand in hold'em. This hand, also known as cowboys, is quite strong as it is only beaten by aces.

 

3.- Queen-Queen

 

The two queens, occupy the third position in the ranking. Although the kings and aces can win them, the queen destroys the jacks and the rest of the cards.

 

4.- Ace-King

 

Despite being a strong hand, it is also a complex hand. It is the strongest of the hands that are in play at the table, but you need the flop (it refers to the set of three face-up cards that are placed on the table, or those same three cards) to be favorable to you in order to get a pair of aces or kings and that the hand is useful.

 

5.- Jack-Jack

 

A pair of jacks has a 20% chance of winning, it again depends on whether the flop accompanies you on the move. If the flop shows a queen, a king or an ace… watch out and be very careful. If not, you have it solved.

 

6.- Ace-Queen

 

It is another of the best hands that, if the cards are the same suit, also has a 20% chance of winning.

 

7.-King-Queen

 

It's a perfect winning hand that can only be beaten if an ace appears on the game board.

 

8.- Ace-Jack

 

This hand in hold'em is one of the best. If the cards are the same suit, it is a very favorable hand, but if not, don't worry, there is still a chance of winning.

 

9.- King-Jack

 

The king-jack, especially in later positions, is a hand that allows you to play but can be defeated by any of the 8 hands mentioned above. If you have this hand and there are a large number of bets, it is best to back down.

According to statistics, if the cards are of the same suit in this hand, you have a 19% chance of winning, a percentage that decreases to 15% if the cards are of a different suit.

 

10.- Ace-Ten

 

It is not the best possible hand, but you still have an ace and a jack, a queen or a king may appear on the table. But be especially careful not to bet too much, especially if the cards are not of the same suit.
