Where can I find official poker rules?

Question

Specifically I'm interested in hand rankings. The topic of debate was two flushes in Texas Hold 'Em, A 7 5 4 3 against A Q 7 5 4, and my group insisted it was a draw, despite showing them a Wikipedia article on hand rankings which said otherwise.

So since they're going to be sticklers for the source, I've been trying to find something which states the WSOP's or some other governing body of poker's ruling on things, but my search has turned up empty. Anyone know of, or can help me find, a solid source? I hope to set the record straight for future games with this group.

Answer 1

The AQ flush beats the A7 flush. This is common knowledge.

I have looked for official hand rankings on Harra's site, but they don't seem to post them online.

you can find it at poker stars site:

or http://www.cardcritic.com

Answer 2

I hope you are winning a bunch of money since obviously your group knows nothing about poker.  This is a no brainer and the fact that they were doubting you is surprising.  I think Bicycle cards publishes a book with official rules for all sorts of games including poker.

Answer 3

Just search the internet. That should do it.
