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.
