What is a "full house"?

A full house is a poker hand that consists of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank. For example, three queens and two tens make a full house. It is ranked above a flush but below four of a kind in standard poker hand rankings. In the event that two players have a full house, the hand with the higher three-of-a-kind part wins. If both hands have the same three-of-a-kind, the player with the higher pair wins. A full house is considered a strong hand in most poker games.
