Poker Hand Generator

What it does

The Poker Hand Generator deals five-card poker hands from a standard 52-card deck without replacement and classifies each one — pair, two pair, straight, flush, full house, and the rest of the ladder. Deal up to 1,000 hands per run, seeded so the exact same deal can be reproduced.

Common use cases

• Probability lessons — deal 1,000 hands and count the categories; compare observed frequencies against the textbook odds (a flush is ~0.2%, and now the class believes it).
• Hand-evaluator testing — reproducible dealt-and-classified hands are ready-made test vectors for poker game logic.
• Learning the rankings — see real hands with their classifications side by side until the ladder sticks.
• Game prototyping — fixture hands for UI and rules development.

Settings

• Hands — deal 1 to 1,000 five-card hands, exportable as CSV or JSON with each hand’s classification.
• Seed — the same seed and count always reproduce the identical hands — cite the seed when a classification looks disputable.

Privacy note

Hands are dealt locally in your browser and never uploaded. The shuffle is seeded pseudorandomness — statistically fair and reproducible by design, which makes it right for teaching and testing and wrong for any real-money game.

FAQ

Are the deals statistically fair? Yes — cards are drawn without replacement from a properly shuffled deck, so hand-category frequencies converge to the true poker odds over large runs.

How rare is each hand, roughly? Pair ~42%, two pair ~4.8%, trips ~2.1%, straight ~0.39%, flush ~0.20%, full house ~0.14%, quads ~0.024%, straight flush ~0.0014%. Deal a big batch and check.

Can I deal Texas hold’em instead? This tool deals classic five-card hands. For hole cards and multi-player deals from a shared deck, use the Playing Card generator; for blackjack, its own tool.
