High card
No pair, straight, flush or better — just the highest card you hold.
Rank 10 of 10 poker hands.
How it’s made
- Five cards that don't form any of the other nine hand types.
Example hand
2♠ 5♥ 9♦ J♣ K♠
Odds
- 50.12%（1 in 2）
- 1,302,540 out of 2,598,960 possible 5-card hands
Breaking ties between the same hand
- Compare the highest card, then the next-highest, and so on through all five cards.
Common mistakes
- In a high-card showdown, holding more high cards (J, Q, K, A) usually wins — check every card, not just the first.
