The value of poker hands is determined by how rare or common it is to be dealt them, with the most common hands valued lower than the rarer hands. The complete list of poker hands is as follows, in increasing order of scarcity.
Firstly, let’s look at determining the strength of your hand.
Categories of Post-Flop Hands
After the flop, hands tend to fall into three categories: ‘made’ hands, ‘drawing’ hands and ‘unmade’ hands.
‘Made’ Hands
A ‘made’ hand is one that has improved significantly on the flop and has only a slight possibility of further improvement.
If you had a pair of pocket Aces preflop and another Ace falls on the flop, you now have top set (Three of a Kind) and your hand can only realistically be improved by seeing the final remaining Ace (highly unlikely) or the board pairing to give you a Full House.
The important part to note is that this is already a very strong – or ‘made’ – hand.
Made hands can themselves be separated into three groups:
Monster hands: Better than one pair on the flop
Examples:
A♠J♠ on a flop of A♥J♦2♣
3♠3♥ on a flop of A♠K♦3♦
Very strong hands: Very good one pair hands such as top pair with top kicker or an over-pair to the board
Examples:
Q♠Q♦ on a flop of 10♠4♣4♦
A♠K♠ on a flop of A♦10♦4♠
Marginal hands: These are hands like middle pair
Examples:
A♠10♦ on a flop of K♠10♥2♠
J♣J♦ on a flop of Q♣8♦3♥
Drawing Hands
‘Drawing’ Hands are hands that have connected with the flop but still need to improve.
For example, if you have J♥10♥, you will be delighted to see a flop of Q♠9♥2♥ because you almost have either a straight or a flush.
But you are not there yet. You still need to hit certain cards to improve your hand.
There are different types of draws that vary in strength:
Very strong draws: These are combined straight and flush draws or a combination of draws and made hands.
Examples:
Q♠J♠ on a flop of 10♠9♠2♦
A♥2♥ on a flop of A♣5♥J♥
K♠Q♠ on a flop of A♠10♠4♣

Strong draws: These are open-ended straight and flush draws to the nuts (or close to it)
Examples:
10♠9♦ on a flop of A♠8♦7♣
K♣Q♣ on a flop of A♣6♣5♦
Weak draws: These are gutshot draws, or flush/straight draws that don’t make the nuts.
Examples:
7♠6♦ on a flop of 8♥9♥Q♣
8♣7♣ on a flop of K♣9♠5♣
Unmade Hands
One of the unfortunate realities about poker is that you see many more unmade hands than any ‘made’ or ‘drawing’ hands.
This doesn’t mean your unmade hand is necessarily bad. Sometimes High hands such as Ace-high and King-high can win the pot by showdown but they will not be able to stand up to much pressure if facing a bet.
If your hand is worse however, then your hand is pretty much worthless. The only way to turn the hand into a winner is to make a high-risk bluff.

At this stage, you probably don’t want to get involved in making foolish bluffs, so you should throw away your unmade hands and wait for another chance to hit something strong. All poker players – including the very best – spend a lot of time folding their cards.
