State your best poker hand in the following Hold'em situations. Try to work out the answer for yourself before clicking on the 'Show me the answer' button:

  Hole Cards     Board Cards  
       

In this example you have made a Queen-high straight. You can use the Queen and Eight in your hand together with the Jack, Ten and Nine on the board to complete a Q-J-10-9-8 straight. Note that you don't have a flush, as there are only three hearts on the board and one in your hand. Five cards in the same suit are required to complete a flush.

  Hole Cards     Board Cards  
       

Here you have made an Ace-high flush using the two hole cards together with the three hearts on board for a final hand of A-9-6-4-3.
