Compare

Which combination wins?

Big Two's comparison rules have a few sharp edges — the A-2-3-4-5 wrap ranks lowest, flushes compare by highest card and then by suit, and a play can only be beaten by one of the same size. Put two side by side and see.

House rules encoded here

  • Straights run 3-4-5-6-7 up to 10-J-Q-K-A, plus A-2-3-4-5 as the lowest straight. A 2 may never sit inside a normal run, so J-Q-K-A-2 is not a straight.
  • Flushes compare by highest card rank descending; if every rank ties, the flush's suit decides.
  • Pairs break ties on the highest suit held; triples compare on rank alone.
  • Bombs are disabled — a four-of-a-kind only beats other 5-card hands, never a pair or a single.
  • Five-card categories rank straight < flush < full house < four of a kind < straight flush.
