5. A Sequence: Which is all 5 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 lowest card, that is, below a deuce or above a king.)
6. Threes: Which is 3 cards of the same denomination, but the other 2 of different denominations from each other.
7. Two Pairs.
8. One Pair.
9. Highest Card: When a hand has neither of the above, the count is by the cards of highest value or denomination. [Ace is highest.]
When parties opposed, each holds a pair, the highest pair wins, and the same when each party holds 3’s or 4’s.
When each party holds 2 pairs, the highest pair determines the relative value of the hands.
When each party holds a sequence, the hand commencing with the highest card in sequence wins; so also when two or more parties hold flushes against each other.
That full counts highest of which the 3 cards of the same denomination are highest. The 2 cards of the same denomination help only to constitute the full, but do not add to the value of the hand.
When hands are equal so far that each party holds a pair or 2 pairs of exactly the same value, then the next highest card or cards in each hand must be compared with the next highest card or cards in the other hand to determine which wins.
