No one is bound to answer the question, how many cards he drew, except the dealer; and the dealer is not bound to tell after the betting has begun.
RELATIVE VALUE OF HANDS IN THEIR ORDER, BEGINNING WITH BEST.
1. A Sequence Flush—Which is a sequence of five cards, and all of the same suit.
2. Fours—Which is four of the five cards of the same denomination.
3. A Full—Which is a hand consisting of three cards of the same denomination and two of likewise equal denomination.
4. A Flush—Which is all five cards of the same suit.
5. A Sequence—Which is all five cards not of the same suit, but all in sequence. [In computing the value of a sequence, an ace counts either as the highest or the lowest card; that is below a deuce or above a king.]
6. Threes—Which is three cards of the same denomination, but the other two of different denominations from each other.
7. Two pairs.
8. One pair.
