The Lucrative Game of Poker

There is a lot of money to be made in the poker world. You can see that just from our rankings above, with players who have tournament poker earnings of 10 or 20 million dollars. It is possible to rack up a sizeable personal fortune if you have the skills to regularly win poker events, or even if you have a good run at one large poker event and walk away with a monstrous and sometimes outrageous prize.

Vicenfish Poker Rankings College Football

This is very different to the old days of poker, where winners of large tournaments would still walk away with very good prizes, but would be more like a few hundred thousand dollars rather than the many millions of today’s game.

This is largely due to the influx of poker players over the past decade, with the transition of the sport to a game played behind closed doors, into a main stream sport that is televised and shown all over the world. Some of the large events in the poker calendar attract fields of thousands of players, and the more players, the bigger the prize pool.

The World Series of Poker Main Event

The World Series of Poker main event still offers one of the biggest prizes in poker. This is due to the massive field generated by the tournament. The field, which ranges from 6,000 to 9,000 each year has to be split over a number of starting days, as the full field cannot fit into the massive WSOP tournament space at the Rio, in Las Vegas.

The huge fields are partly driven by the prestige of the being the headline poker event of the year, but also by the quantity of people who qualify for the event via smaller buy in online satellite tournaments run by online poker sites.

Of course these huge fields are all paying $10,000 to enter the tournament which generates a outrageous prize pool. The biggest was in 2006 with a prize pool of $82.5million and a first prize of $12million.

The WSOP One Drop – Biggest Prize in Poker

In 2012, the World Series of Poker introduce a new event. It was a high rollers $1million buy in tournament which was 4 times the next biggest buy in tournament. The event attracted the biggest professional poker players in the sport together with other wealthy people including at least 2 billionaires.

There were 48 entrants, and eventual winner Antonio Esfandiari took home a 1st place prize of $18.3million, with even 2nd placed Sam Trickett taking home a sizeable $10million.

The event generated a massive amount of Buzz in the poker world and in the main stream press, culminating in the biggest spectacle the poker world has ever seen, with a broadcast on ESPN, showgirls and piles and piles of cash.

Online Poker – The Internet Poker Millionaire

Online Poker allows anybody to sit at their computer, or on their tablet on the sofa and play online poker. The rise in popularity of online poker has lead to regular high payout tournaments where players can enter for quite a modest fee and win prizes of hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Regular tournaments take place at the big online poker sites, such as the Pokerstars Sunday Million which takes place every Sunday night, with a guaranteed prize pool of $1million for a relatively small buy in of $215. This guarantee is usually smashed and a much larger prize pool results. Many similar weekly tournaments take place but this is the largest.

There are also Online Tournament Series which regularly occur and mirror the festival feel of the World Series of Poker by running a series of events, of varying buy in amounts and various formats of poker. The biggest two of these are the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) run by Pokerstars which in 2013 had a guaranteed prize pool of $40million over 66 events and the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) run by Full Tilt Poker.

Standard Poker Hand Rankings

There are 52 cards in the pack, and the ranking of the individual cards, from high to low, is ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. There is no ranking between the suits - so for example the king of hearts and the king of spades are equal.

A poker hand consists of five cards. The categories of hand, from highest to lowest, are listed in the chart below. Any hand in a higher category beats any hand in a lower category (so for example any three of a kind beats any two pairs). Between hands in the same category the rank of the individual cards decides which is better, as described in more detail below.

In games where a player has more than five cards and selects five to form a poker hand, the remaining cards do not play any part in the ranking. Poker ranks are always based on five cards only.

1. Royal Flush

This is the highest poker hand. It consists of ace, king, queen, jack and ten, all in the same suit. As all suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal.

2. Straight Flush

Five cards of the same suit in sequence - such as J-10-9-8-7. Between two straight flushes, the one containing the higher top card is higher. An ace can be counted as low, so 5-4-3-2-A is a straight flush, but its top card is the five, not the ace, so it is the lowest type of straight flush. The cards cannot 'turn the corner': 4-3-2-A-K is not valid.

3. Four of a kind

Four cards of the same rank - such as four queens. The fifth card can be anything. This combination is sometimes known as 'quads', and in some parts of Europe it is called a 'poker', though this term for it is unknown in English. Between two fours of a kind, the one with the higher set of four cards is higher - so 3-3-3-3-A is beaten by 4-4-4-4-2. It can't happen in standard poker, but if in some other game you need to compare two fours of a kind where the sets of four cards are of the same rank, then the one with the higher fifth card is better.

4. Full House

This consists of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank - for example three sevens and two tens (colloquially known as 'sevens full' or more specifically 'sevens on tens'). When comparing full houses, the rank of the three cards determines which is higher. For example 9-9-9-4-4 beats 8-8-8-A-A. If the threes of a kind were equal, the rank of the pairs would decide.

5. Flush

Five cards of the same suit. When comparing two flushes, the highest card determines which is higher. If the highest cards are equal then the second highest card is compared; if those are equal too, then the third highest card, and so on. For example K-J-9-3-2 beats K-J-7-6-5 because the nine beats the seven.

6. Straight

Five cards of mixed suits in sequence - for example Q-J-10-9-8. When comparing two sequences, the one with the higher ranking top card is better. Ace can count high or low in a straight, but not both at once, so A-K-Q-J-10 and 5-4-3-2-A are valid straights, but 2-A-K-Q-J is not. 5-4-3-2-A is the lowest kind of straight, the top card being the five.

7. Three of a Kind

Three cards of the same rank plus two other cards. This combination is also known as Triplets or Trips. When comparing two threes of a kind the hand in which the three equal cards are of higher rank is better. So for example 5-5-5-3-2 beats 4-4-4-K-Q. If you have to compare two threes of a kind where the sets of three are of equal rank, then the higher of the two remaining cards in each hand are compared, and if those are equal, the lower odd card is compared.

8. Two Pairs

A pair is two cards of equal rank. In a hand with two pairs, the two pairs are of different ranks (otherwise you would have four of a kind), and there is an odd card to make the hand up to five cards. When comparing hands with two pairs, the hand with the highest pair wins, irrespective of the rank of the other cards - so J-J-2-2-4 beats 10-10-9-9-8 because the jacks beat the tens. If the higher pairs are equal, the lower pairs are compared, so that for example 8-8-6-6-3 beats 8-8-5-5-K. Finally, if both pairs are the same, the odd cards are compared, so Q-Q-5-5-8 beats Q-Q-5-5-4.

9. Pair

Vicenfish Poker Rankings Poker

A pair is a hand with two cards of equal rank and three other cards which do not match these or each other. When comparing two such hands, the hand with the higher pair is better - so for example 6-6-4-3-2 beats 5-5-A-K-Q. If the pairs are equal, compare the highest ranking odd cards from each hand; if these are equal compare the second highest odd card, and if these are equal too compare the lowest odd cards. So J-J-A-9-3 beats J-J-A-8-7 because the 9 beats the 8.

10. High Card

Vicenfish Poker Rankings Nfl

Five cards which do not form any of the combinations listed above. When comparing two such hands, the one with the better highest card wins. If the highest cards are equal the second cards are compared; if they are equal too the third cards are compared, and so on. So A-J-9-5-3 beats A-10-9-6-4 because the jack beats the ten.
