High card by suit and low card by suit refer to assigning relative values to playing cards of equal rank based on their suit. No standard ranking of suits exists for card games and not all games incorporate a suit ranking feature. When suit ranking is applied, the two most common conventions are:

• Ascending alphabetical order: clubs (lowest), followed by diamonds, hearts, and spades (highest). This ranking is used in the game of bridge.
• Alternating colors: diamonds (lowest), followed by clubs, hearts, and spades (highest). Similar to alphabetical ranking in that the two highest rankings are occupied by the same two suits (hearts and spades) in the same relative position to one another, but differing in the two lowest rankings, which while occupied by the same two suits (clubs and diamonds) have their relative position to one another swapped. This ranking is sometimes used in the Chinese card game Big Two or Choh Dai Di.

Poker[edit]

Most poker games do not rank suits; the ace of clubs is just as good as the ace of spades. However, small issues (such as deciding who deals first) are sometimes resolved by dealing one card to each player. If two players draw cards of the same rank, one way to break the tie is to use an arbitrary hierarchy of suits. The order of suit rank differs by location; for example, the ranking most commonly used in the United States is not the one typically used in Italy.

Cards are always compared by rank first, and only then by suit. For example, using the 'reverse alphabetical order' ranking, the ace of clubs ranks higher than any king, but lower than the ace of diamonds. High card by suit is used to break ties between poker hands as a regional variance,^[1] but more commonly is used in the following situations, as well as various others, based upon the circumstances of the particular game:

• Randomly selecting a player or players.

To randomly select a player to deal, to choose the game, to move to another table, or for other reasons, deal each player one card and the player with high card by suit is selected. Multiple players can be selected this way.

• Assigning the bring-in.

In games such as Seven-card stud, where the player with the lowest-ranking face-up card is required to open the first betting round for a minimal amount, ties can be broken by suit. In such low stud games as razz, the player with the highest-ranking upcard must post the fractional bet.

• Awarding odd chips in a split pot.

In High-low split games, or when two players' hands tie, the pot must be split evenly between them. When there is an odd amount of money in the pot that can't be split evenly, the odd low-denomination chip can be given to the player whose hand contains the high card by suit. (This solution is not necessary in games with blinds, in which case the odd chip between high and low is awarded to the high hand, and the odd chip between a split high or split low is awarded to the first player following the dealer button.)

• Breaking ties in a chip race

During poker tournaments, a chip race is used to 'color up' large numbers of smaller-denomination chips, and a modified deal is used to assign leftover chips. Ties in the deal are broken by suit.

Contract bridge[edit]

In bridge, suit rank during the bidding phase of the game is by ascending alphabetical order.

During the play of the cards, the trump suit is superior to all other suits and the other suits are of equal rank to each other. If there is no trump suit, all suits are of equal rank.

High Card is the worst possible hand on the poker hand rankings list. It consists of no pair or any other hand type – just a high card.

The words “High Card” should have you thinking straight away about a hand with the highest card. However, this is the lowest possible hand in Texas Hold’em.

Starting Hands like K♣10♠ on a board 8♥7♥4♦J♣2♣ are referred to as “King High” rather than no pair.

Even though you don’t have a pair, it is still important to rank these hands for the system to work. In effect, a king-high hand would beat a queen-high hand. Queen-high beats jack-high and so forth.

As is the case in all Hold’em games, you can “play the board”. Say the board comes down A♣6♦5♥10♠7♥ and you hold 3♠2♠. Your hand would be called Ace-High using all the cards on the board.

When rating one High Card hand against the next, it’s the hand rank or denomination that’s important. Therefore, the best High Card hand is Ace-High, the second King-High, the third Queen-High and so on.

Kickers are a distinguishing factor when players have the same high card.

We’ll discuss this in the next section.

How Does a High Card Hand Rank?

In a 52-card deck, there are 1,302,540 possible High Card hand combinations and 1,277 distinct ranks of High Card hands. Each High Card is ranked first by its highest card, secondly by its highest-ranked kicker and so forth.

Here are a few more examples of High Card hands:

A♠K♣ Q♥10♦8♠

K♠Q♦J♣9♥6♥

A♠K♦Q♣J♥16♥

A♠K♣ Q♥10♦9♠

K♦Q♣10♥9♣5♥

Can you tell which High Card hand ranks the best?

Keep in mind that the suits are irrelevant and that the kickers should be used to rank hands with the High Card.

How Does a High Card Hand Match Up?

High Card is the ninth best possible hand in the poker hand ranking system – putting it in last place. One pair ranks directly above it, with the best One Pair being Aces.

There are no hands that rank below High Card. Therefore, it is the worst hand according to the standard poker hand ranking system. It rarely wins at showdown unless someone’s making a superb bluff.
