HAND RANKING NOTES

 

The exact order of texas holdem poker hands beyond the top 10 is based more on our texas holdem poker experience and preference than actual win percentages.  Although these win percentages are very close, we don't want to get people too caught up in playing poker hands based solely on the pre flop win percentages.  Keep in mind that in all casinos, including online poker casinos, it may be beneficial to play all pairs and suited connectors if a Bad Beat Jackpot is offered, if you 're in the blind, or just behind the button.  Especially, if doing so offers pot odds or better to be discussed next in (Poker Betting Strategy)
