<P> A full house, also known as a full boat (and originally called a full hand), is a poker hand containing three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as 3 ♣ 3 ♠ 3 6 ♣ 6 ♥ (a "full house, threes over sixes" or "threes full of sixes" or "threes full"). It ranks below four of a kind and above a flush . </P> <P> There are 3,744 possible full house hands and 156 distinct ranks of full house when using a standard 52 - card deck . Each full house is ranked first by the rank of its triplet, and then by the rank of its pair . For example, 8 ♠ 8 8 ♥ 7 7 ♣ ranks higher than 4 4 ♠ 4 ♣ 9 9 ♣, which ranks higher than 4 4 ♠ 4 ♣ 5 ♣ 5 . Full house hands that differ by suit alone, such as K ♣ K ♠ K J ♣ J ♠ and K ♣ K ♥ K J ♣ J ♥, are of equal rank . </P> <P> A flush is a poker hand containing five cards all of the same suit, not all of sequential rank, such as K ♣ 10 ♣ 7 ♣ 6 ♣ 4 ♣ (a "king - high flush" or a "king - ten - high flush"). It ranks below a full house and above a straight . Under ace - to - five low rules, flushes are not recognized, and a hand that would be categorized as a flush is instead a high card hand . </P> <P> There are 5,108 possible flush hands and 1,277 distinct ranks of flush under high rules when using a standard 52 - card deck . Each flush is ranked first by the rank of its highest - ranking card, then by the rank of its second highest - ranking card, then by the rank of its third highest - ranking card, then by the rank of its fourth highest - ranking card, and finally by the rank of its lowest - ranking card . For example, K J 9 6 4 ranks higher than Q ♣ J ♣ 7 ♣ 6 ♣ 5 ♣, which ranks higher than J ♥ 10 ♥ 9 ♥ 4 ♥ 2 ♥, which ranks higher than J ♠ 10 ♠ 8 ♠ 6 ♠ 3 ♠, which ranks higher than J ♥ 10 ♥ 8 ♥ 4 ♥ 3 ♥, which ranks higher than J ♣ 10 ♣ 8 ♣ 4 ♣ 2 ♣ . Flush hands that differ by suit alone, such as 10 8 7 6 5 and 10 ♠ 8 ♠ 7 ♠ 6 ♠ 5 ♠, are of equal rank . </P>
