Frequently asked questions
What are the odds of a royal flush?
1 in 649,740 - there are only 4 ways to make a royal flush (one per suit) out of 2,598,960 possible 5-card hands, making it the rarest standard poker hand.
Why is a flush rarer than a straight even though it ranks higher?
Actually, in standard hand rankings a flush does rank higher than a straight, and it is rarer - a flush has 5,108 ways to occur versus a straight's 10,200, which matches the table above and confirms flush is the less common (and higher-ranked) hand.
How are these probabilities calculated?
Each hand type's count comes from combinatorics - for example, four of a kind is 13 possible ranks × 48 remaining cards for the 5th card = 624 ways, divided by the total 2,598,960 possible 5-card hands from a 52-card deck.
Is a 'poker hand percentage calculator' the same as this tool?
Yes - the table above shows the exact percentage (and odds) for every standard poker hand ranking.
How many total 5-card hands are possible from a 52-card deck?
2,598,960 - calculated as 52 choose 5 = 52!/(5!×47!), which is the denominator used for every hand-ranking probability in the table.
What are the odds of getting a pair, the most common made hand?
About 1 in 2.37 (roughly 42.3%) - one pair occurs in 1,098,240 of the 2,598,960 possible hands, making it by far the most frequently dealt hand ranking.
Does this table account for wild cards or jokers?
No - these probabilities are for a standard 52-card deck with no wild cards or jokers; adding wild cards changes the combinatorics and would shift every probability in the table.
