In several Draw Poker games, hands other than the standard ones are calculated in the showdown. What combinations of cards are so calculated depending upon the position in which the game is being played and based on the first choices of the players.

For an example to explain this is, five cards 8 to king with no pair, which ranks above a tiger and below a flush, known as big cat; a nonstandard hand on occasions with a specified value in a private or home game or in free online poker.

A big tiger is a hand in which the king is the highest card, the eight is the lowest card, and there is no pair. A big tiger beats a little tiger; either tiger beats a dog; and a big dog beats a little dog. All these hands beat a straight but lose to a flush. While it is essential to break a tie as among big tigers, little tigers, big dogs or little dogs, the poker rules are the same as for breaking ties among any two hands which hold no pair or better.

To say this in simple words, King high, eight low. It ranks just below a flush, and above a straight or any other cat or dog. Some play that dog or cat flushes beat a straight flush, below the logic that a plain dog or cat beats a plain straight. This formulates the big cat flush the highest hand in the poker game.
