The word Straight should immediately have you thinking that it consists of five cards in a row - and that 🏵 makes it a very easy hand to identify.
The highest possible Straight is A-K-Q-J-10 (also called “Broadway”). Straight combinations go all 🏵 the way down to A-2-3-4-5, which is known as the “Wheel” or “Bicycle”, in poker lingo.
A♠K♥Q♣J♥10♠aka BROADWAY
A♥2♣3♠4♦5♥ aka the 🏵 WHEEL or BICYCLE
When it comes to Straights, the suits aren’t important. However, not every straight is ranked equally.
