Poker Hand Rankings

There are a lot of different types of poker games around but for all these different poker games the ranking of the hands is always the same. A standard pack of 52 cards is used, with no jokers. The ace is the high card, but it can also be used as the low card depending on you hand. A random number generator shuffles the deck before each game.
