From best to worst:
Royal flush: A-K-Q-J-10 all of the same suit. This is the most rare hand in poker. In fact, I have only gotten it twice in non-internet play.
Straight flush: Five sequential cards that are of the same suit. Ex: 7d-6d-5d-4d-3d
Four of a Kind: Fours cards that match. Ex: Jh-Jd-Jc-Js-Ah
Full House: Having three of a kind and a pair within the same hand. Also known as "a full boat" or just "a boat." Ex: 8c-8d-8s-Qd-Qh. This would be expressed as eights full of queens.
Flush: Five cards of the same suit. The order of the 5 cards does not matter. Ex: 2h-5h-Jh-Ah-7h
Straight: Five sequential cards of any suit. The ace can be used as a low or high card. Around the bends (Q-K-A-2-3) normally are not allowed. Ex: As-2d-3s-4h-5s. This is known as the whell A-10 is known as broadway.
Three of a Kind: Three matching cards. Also known as trips. Ex: 9d-9h-9s-10h-7d
Two Pair: Two sets of matching cards. Ex: 10h-10d-Kc-Kh-As
Pair: Two matching cards. Ex: As-Ah-4h-5s-9d
High Card: In the case of nobody having any of the forementioned hands. The highest card wins. Ex: Ah-8d-7d-6d-5d beats Kh-Qd-Jh-10c-2s
