Answer 2

there is no easy way...get a list of all of them and an example of each and just start memorizing... oh and playing helps to

Answer 3

you can purchase a card that has all the hand rankings(it is the size of a playing card).  I have seen quite a few people with them at the poker table.  Even at $5-$10limit.

Answer 4

umm well there are these different hands that i know of in poker!

Royal Flush

Straight Flush

Flush

Straight

Full House

Double pair

Pair

now to explain each hand!

the royal flush is the cards : 10, J, Q, K, A

and they are all the same suit. like they are all hearts!

a straight flush is just like a royal flush, but not those cards. any 5 cards in number sequence. 2,3,4,5,6...5,6,7,8,9...ect..

and again, are all the same suit.

A flush is any 5 cards that have the same suit!

4,A,6,9,3  and they are all hearts!

A straight is any 5 cards in number sequence

8,9,10,J,Q....4.5.6.7.8,, like that and they DO NOT have to be the same suit, they can all be different.

a full house is when you have 3 of the same number and a pair. example) 4,4,4,7,7........Q,Q,Q,2,2...suit do not have to be the same. as long as you have 3 of the same number and a pair.

a double pair is when you have 2 pairs in your hand and an extra card.  7,7,3,3,9......5,5,9,9,K., suits do not matter.

a pair is when you have 1 pair in your hand.. 2,2,4,7,6.....8,8,2,7,6.

thats all that i know of!

hope this helps!
