Poker Suit Rankings
In poker, suits are not officially ranked. However, for friendly games you could set your House rules to rank by suits.
Note: It depends on whether you will allow suits to matter or not. You would decide if you allow ties or use the suits (or some other method) as tie-breakers.
If you need a guide, in Bridge where suits are ranked, highest to lowest is in reverse alphabetical order:
1. Spades
â™ Highest
2. Hearts
♥
3. Diamonds
♦
4. Clubs
♣ Lowest
