How to unlock the All Hands achievement in Poker Smash - Definitive Guide

Despite the high ratio, this achievement is actually quite easy to obtain. I used Custom Playlist Mode and yes, it was an accumulation of all hands in multiple playthroughs. The stat page at the end of the game, listed under "Career Total", will tell you which hand you have or haven't gotten. I believe I unlocked this achievement on only my forth, or fifth, playthrough. If you are not familiar with poker, the 11 hands are (also can be found in the game's "How to Play" section):
3 of a Kind
4 of a Kind
5 of a Kind
Full House
Straight
Straight Flush
Flush of 6 cards
Flush of 7 cards
Flush of 8 cards
Flush of 9 cards
The most difficult hand is the Flush of 9 cards. And as mentioned in the other solutions, it will take up the entire vertical column. This means you have to be ready to place the 5th card into the column before the top card reaches the end. I suggest drawing out about 6 or 7 rows of cards, quickly looking through the suits (use the slow down) to find which suit to use, place the top four cards, place the 5th card in the "ready" position, place the 6th and 7th cards, draw out the next row and place the 8th (you may need to bomb if you don't have the correct suit for this one and the 9th row), draw out the next row and place the 9th (slow down here again), then quickly place the 5th card.
Good luck and feel free to comment or message me with any questions or comments.

By the time you've played the game enough to get a hang of it, you should have most of the hands. Look through your stats (displayed after the end of each game) to find out which ones you are missing then go through and specifically hunt for each one, using bombs and moves to rearrange the screen to your needs.
You will need all of the number flushes (up to 9), so aim for those too. Remember that the 9 Flush takes up the entire vertical column, so you run the risk of losing the match if you take too long to set it up.

I don't understand the wording of this achievement. Can you either send me a PM or reply on here? Is this in one "game" - aka, one playthrough. Or is this accumulated across all games?

This definetley does not have to be in one game just your Career Total (shown on stats at end of a game).

After a few games, you're bound to have most of the basic hands, so all that's really left are the flushes and straight flush. For the flush, you just need to make a hand of cards that are all the same suit. There are also six to nine flushes that must be made vertically with the corresponding amount of the same suit. Note that with a nine flush, the column must take up the entire screen, so don't dawdle or you'll end up reaching the top on accident.
For straight flush, just play through the game normally and try to preserve one of each type of card all with the same suit. It will take time, but if you can manage to clear rows while looking for one of each card, you should get it eventually. What I did was start off with an Ace card, moving it all the way to the left, then waited to find a King of the same suit. After finding one, I would use bombs and moves to make it so that the King was directly below the Ace. Repeat this with the Queen, Jack, and 10 cards (in that order) and you'll get this once the hand is made.
