The table below shows the rank of the best starting hands (i.e., "hole cards") that you can be holding in a game of Texas Holdem Poker. It ranks the hands
starting with the best starting hand that you can be dealt. Of course everything changes after the flop, so this is just a guide for judging the relative strength
of your hand before the flop.
The probability of each hand being the winning hand are also given for playing on a table with 10 players. It's no surprise that the best starting hand to hold
is Ace-Ace.
