Hand Order

Trail: Three of the same cards. (Three aces are the highest and three twos are the lowest.)
Pure Sequence: Three consecutive cards of the same suit. The order of ranking from highest to lowest is A-K-Q, A-2-3,K-Q-J, Q-J-10 and so on down to 4-3-2.
Sequence: Three consecutive cards not all in the same suit.
Colour: any three cards of the same suit. When comparing two colours, compare the highest card; if these are equal compare the second; if these are equal too, compare the lowest. (The highest colour is A-K-J and the lowest is 5-4-2.)
Pair: Two cards of the same rank. Between two pairs the one with the higher value is the winner. If the pairs are of equal value then the odd/kicker card determines the winner. (The lowest pair is 2-2-3 and the highest is A-A-K.)

High Card: If two players share a common high card, the next highest card is used to determine the winner. (The best high card hand would be an AKJ).
