Texas hold ‘em is a kind of poker in which each player is dealt two cards face down and then five cards face up in the center of the table.  The two cards that are face down on the table are called hole cards, while the five other cards that are face up are called board cards. Each player shares these five board cards to make the best five-card hand from the cards in the hole and the cards on the board. In other words, players combine any number of their personal cards with the shared cards in order to make the highest five-card hand according to standard hand rankings.

The royal flush is the highest hand possible, and it occurs when you have five high cards of the same suit in sequence with Ace as the highest card. The straight flush occurs when you simply have five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as J-10-9-8-7. The four of a kind is when, as the name suggests, you have four of a certain kind of card plus a single card. The full house is when you have three of a kind with a pair. The flush occurs when you have any five cards of the same suit.

The straight occurs when you have any five cards in sequence and unsuited. The three of a kind is when you have three of a certain kind of card plus two single cards. The two pair is when you have two pairs of cards plus a single card. The pair is when you have a pair of cards plus three single cards. The single high card occurs when you have five cards of differing suits, with the Queen as the highest card.

These are the most common Texas holdem poker hands.
