Compare two hands
CLASSIC HANDS / NO WILD CARDS / NO STAKES
Enable JavaScript to compare selected cards. The static examples below work without it.
Eight reproducible examples. No random deal, opponent, account or prediction.
How to read the explanation
The tool identifies each category, then compares the relevant rank values. It ignores suits as a tie-breaker. All six selected cards must be distinct because the exercise uses one physical deck. It does not evaluate wild-card modes, rummy or five-card poker.
Three fixed lessons
| Hand A | Hand B | Why the result matters |
|---|---|---|
| K♠ K♥ 2♦ | Q♣ Q♦ A♠ | The paired rank decides before the spare ace. |
| 4♠ 5♥ 6♦ | A♣ J♣ 8♣ | Category order beats a single high card. |
| A♠ 2♥ 3♦ | A♣ K♥ Q♠ | The selected ace convention changes the winner. |
What offline means here
After this page and its assets finish loading, evaluating cards makes no further server request. A fresh page load or reload still needs connectivity unless the browser has retained the resources. There is no service worker or guaranteed offline reopening. Use a saved complete page or a physical deck when reliable offline study is required.
Static reference
| Order | Category | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trail / trio | Three equal ranks | 6♠ 6♥ 6♦ |
| 2 | Pure sequence | Consecutive ranks, one suit | 8♣ 9♣ 10♣ |
| 3 | Sequence / run | Consecutive ranks, mixed suits | 8♣ 9♥ 10♠ |
| 4 | Colour / flush | One suit, not consecutive | 2♦ 7♦ J♦ |
| 5 | Pair | Two equal ranks | 9♠ 9♥ K♣ |
| 6 | High card | None of the above | 2♠ 8♥ Q♣ |
What the lab cannot establish
A correct fixed-card comparison does not audit any app’s shuffle or predict future cards. Its teaching examples are fixed, not a random source or a wagering service. The probability page states the mathematical assumptions and verification method.
