A full house, also called a full hand, is a hand consisting of three cards of one rank and two cards of another, such as K-K-K-7-7. In a full house, the winner is determined first by the value of the three of a kind and then by the pair. It is the fourth strongest hand in standard poker. Full houses beat flushes, straights, and lower hands but lose to four of a kind and straight flushes.
