This section contains some practice hands to help you develop your skills in identifying the nuts. You have to identify the nut hand in each case. Is it hand A or hand B?

Here hand B is the nut hand, an Ace-high flush: A -8-6-3-2. An Ace-high flush beats a King-high flush. It is irrelevant that the Queen in hand A is higher than the Deuce in hand B.

This time the player in hand B has made quad aces, which would normally be a very strong hand indeed. However, hand A is a royal flush: A-K-Q-J-10! This is the best possible hand in poker.
