Whats higher flush or straight ?!?!?!?

Sammyv1 · Sep 17, 2007

Here is the rankings in order!-----

Royal FlushThe best possible straight flush. Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace all of the same suit.
Straight FlushCards of five consecutive ranks, all of the same suit
4 of a KindFour cards of any one rank, and any other card
Full HouseThree cards of one rank, and two cards of a second rank.
FlushFive cards of the same suit that doesn't make a straight
StraightCards of five consecutive ranks when not all five are of the same suit
Three of a KindThree cards of the same rank and two unrelated cards
Two PairTwo cards of one rank, two cards of another rank, and a fifth
One PairTwo cards of the same rank and three other unrelated cards
High CardKnown as a 'Busted Hand'. Five unrelated cards – no pair, no flush, no straight. Nothing.

Though it could happen.

Think 2-7 lowball - any limit/any variety of the game you want
P1 = [2c][3c][4c][5c][7c]
P2 = [10s][Jh][Qd][Ks][As]

P1 has a flush, P2 has a straight...P2 wins with a straight beating a flush.

P2 = 10♠J♥Q♦K♠A♠

P1 has a flush, P2 has a straight...P2 wins with a straight beating a flush.

...but the question was "What's higher?". A flush is still 'higher' in lowball - it's just that the lowest hand wins and oh god why are we even discussing this?

You are correct, the OP asked which was higher. It then immediately turned into a deluge of responses of how flushes beat straights. It is to those posts that I reply.

NOT ON POKERSTARS!!

juiceeQ said:
Well, that's just silly! To make a straight, you can use a run of 5 cards of any suit. A flush requires 5 cards of the same suit (as most of us know ), thereby making it harder to make a flush versus a straight.

Not on Pokerstars...runner, runner..............

Unless of course you meant that you have the runs five times in your suit. In that case you need to find a dry cleaner (actually probably need to find him after the first time).

That is so sad.
My heart goes out to this guy and all the pain he must've gone through not being able to wear his favorite suit on his first day of work.

Its a good thing he didnt work for the post office because who knows what would've happened.

Or get a new suit all together. Doesn't seem like this one is working out for him.
