Poker holdings refer to the combination of cards that a player holds in a game of poker. The three main types of poker holdings are straights (nine letters), PAIRS (five letters) and HANDS (five letters). Straights are five consecutive cards of different suits, such as 2-3-4-5-6. PAIRS are two cards of the same rank, such as two kings. HANDS are the combination of cards that a player holds, which can include any combination of straights, PAIRS, or single cards.
