What Poker Hand Beats 4 Aces

4/3/2022 admin

What Beats What in High-Low Poker Games. A quick note on split pot games. These include Omaha Hi-Lo and Stud Hi-Lo. In these games, half of the pot goes to the highest ranked poker hand, and the other half to the ‘low’. A low hand is 5 unique cards 8 and under. This makes the ‘best’ poker hand in a hi-lo game A-2-3-4-5.
The poker hand that contains a single pair that is the most worth noting is the Princess Leia (an A-A-2-3), so called because the room in which Leia was imprisoned in Star Wars was room A-A-2-3. The best known names given to (pocket) pairs include.
Poker is one of the many games involving the use of a 52-card deck of playing cards. The 52 cards are categorized by 13 ranks from Two through Ace (Aces can be counted as both higher than King and lower than Two when needed, but can only count as one at a time in a hand), and by four suits: diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.
4 of a Kind - Four of the same card, ie. The 5th card doesn't matter, and in case of 2 players with 4 of a kind, the higher ranking 4 of a kind wins the pot. 4 Aces beats 4 kings. Full House- 3 of a kind plus a pair, as in King-King-King-5-5. This would be expressed as “full house, kings over fives.“.

Preparation
First of all you need to stack the deck! Seperate the Aces and Kings from an ordinary poker deck placing the 4 Aces on top of the other cards and the Kings on top of the Aces. Kings are now uppermost in the deck.

Get a spectator to take the pack and deal out two piles, alternating cards as they go.

After they have dealt around half the deck, say: “You can feel free to stop anytime you wish”. Take the undealt deck of cards and place them aside.

What Beats Four Aces

Next get the spectator to pick up one of the two piles and deal it into two smaller piles. Get them to do the same with the other pile so that you end up with 4 piles of cards. At this point there should be a king on the top of every pile.

Ask the spectator to turn up the top card of any pile to show that it is a king. Turn over another – another king! Coincidence. All the top cards are seen to be Kings!

Once the spectator has turned up all 4 kings, discard them.

Ask your audience “Anyone here a poker player? What beats four kings? Yes… 4 ACES – that’s right!”

After a few magical gestures with your hand over the four piles, turn up the top card of each pile to reveal – 4 ACES.

All Aces In Poker

4 of a Kind - Four of the same card, ie. Ace-Ace-Ace-Ace. The 5th card doesn't matter, and in case of 2 players with 4 of a kind, the higher ranking 4 of a kind wins the pot. 4 Aces beats 4 kings.

Full House - 3 of a kind plus a pair, as in King-King-King-5-5. This would be expressed as “full house, kings over fives.“ On the other hand, 5-5-5-King-King would be expressed “full house, fives over kings.“ In the case of two or more players with full house, the winner is decided by who has the highest “3 of a kind“ portion of the hand. 10-10-10-2-2 would beat 8-8-8-Ace-Ace. The pair means nothing, the 3 matching cards determine your rank, and in this example, 10 is obviously higher than 8. Sometimes, a full house is called a “boat.“

Flush - Any 5 cards of the same suit. A flush is referred to by its high card. King-5-8-Jack-2 of hearts would be called a “flush, king high.“ In the case of two or more flushes at showdown, the flush with the highest ranking card wins.

Straight - 5 cards in succession, any suit. In the case of two straights, the one with the highest ranking top card wins. Straight, 10 through Ace beats any other straight.

3 of a Kind - 3 of any matching card, 7-7-7, etc. The 4th and 5th cards are meaningless. In the case of two of these hand at showdown, the higher ranking 3 of a kind wins. 3 of a kind is often referred to as “trips.“

2 Pair - Any 2 pair, with the rank determined by the top pair. Kings and 2's beats Queens and Jacks. In case of a tie, ( two players hold queens and jacks), then the winner is determined by the 5th card, called the “kicker.“ Whoever holds the higher ranking 5th card wins the pot.

1 Pair - One pair of any card. In case of a tie (two players hold Aces), the winner is determined by who holds the highest kicker or kickers. A pair of 8's queen kicker beats a pair of 8's, jack kicker.

High Card - In the case of no pairs, the player with the highest ranking card wins.
