Is 5 6 7 8 ace a straight?

A straight flush is the best natural hand. A straight flush is a straight (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. As in a regular straight, you can have an ace either high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not 'wraparound'.

The Rules of Poker

This list is currently broken into several parts:

The Very Basics How the Hands are Ranked Descriptions of Hand Ranks Betting An Example 5-Card Draw Hand

The Very Basics

Some games have Wild Cards, which can take on whatever suit and rank their possessor desires. Sometimes jokers will be used as wild cards, other times, the game will specify which cards are wild (dueces, one-eyed jacks, or whatever).

How the hands are ranked

Descriptions of Hand Ranks

Betting

Call When you call, you bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (for instance, if you bet a dime last time, and someone else bet a quarter, you would owe fifteen cents). Raise When you raise, you first bet enough to match what has been bet since the last time you bet (as in calling), then you 'raise' the bet another amount (up to you, but there is typically a limit.) Continuing the above example, if you had bet a dime, the other person raised you fifteen cents (up to a quarter), you might raise a quarter (up to fifty cents). Since you owed the pot 15 cents for calling and 25 for your raise, you would put 40 cents into the pot. Fold When you fold, you drop out of the current hand (losing any possibility of winning the pot), but you don't have to put any money into the pot.

Some Standard Betting Rules

An Example Five Card Draw Hand.

You deal yourself a fairly good hand Ks-Kd-Jd-5c-3d. A pair of kings isn't bad off the deal (not great, but not bad). Then the betting starts... Alex 'Checks' (checking is basically calling when you don't owe anything to the pot).

Brad bets a dime.

Charley calls (and puts a dime into the pot).

Dennis raises a dime (and puts twenty cents into the pot).

Well, it's your turn. Twenty cents to you. You can fold, call or raise. Like I said before, pair of kings isn't bad, not good but not bad. You call and put twenty cents into the pot. Back to Alex, who grumbles and tosses his cards into the center of the table, folding. (Note, when folding, never show your cards to anyone). Brad calls. The total bet is twenty cents, but he had already bet a dime, so he owes a dime, which he tosses into the pot. Charley is in the same position as brad, and tosses a dime into the pot. What do you suppose the others were trying for? Well, Brad kept two cards, so he probably had a pair (just like you) but it probably wasn't aces, so even if brad got a three of a kind, you probably beat him. Charley kept four cards, so he was probably trying for a straight or flush. (If Charley had four of a kind, he might have bet much harder). The big problem is Dennis. He raised earlier, and only drew two cards. He might be bluffing, but he could have had three of a kind off the deal... In any case, the second round of betting starts (with dealers left).

Brad bets a nickel.

Charley folds (I guess he didn't get his straight or flush).

Dennis raises twenty cents (to a quarter total).

You call.

Brad looks at his cards, then calls (betting twenty cents).

Again, everyone called Dennis's raise, so the round of betting is over.

You had Ks-Kd-Kc-4c-8h.

Brad had Jh-Jd-3c-3s-Ah.

Dennis had Qh-Qs-Qd-As-7s.

Why is 2-7 the worst hand in poker?

2-7 (offsuit) A 2-7 offsuit hand is the worst hand to start with in Texas Hold 'Em poker because there are so few good options available to you: you have no straight draw, no flush draw, and even if you wind up with a pair of 7s or a pair of 2s, you're unlikely to have the best hand.

thesprucecrafts.com - Top 5 Worst Starting Hands for Texas Hold 'Em Poker - The Spruce Crafts

At the begging of each round of Texas Hold 'Em poker, you are dealt two cards. These are your hole cards or starting hand. Those hole cards can eventually be used with the cards revealed in the flop, turn and river to assemble a (hopefully) winning hand. After you are dealt your starting cards, there is a round of betting. At this point, players look at their hold cards and choose to check, bet or fold. Anyone who doesn't fold after viewing his hole cards then sees the three flop cards. Another round of betting occurs before the turn card is dealt. A round of betting also precedes the river card. There is then one more round of betting, and the best five-card hand wins. That hand may or may not contain the hole cards. Some starting two-card hands are more likely to work well with the other cards in the deck than others. Of all the possible starting hands you can be dealt in Texas Hold 'Em, the following five hands are the least welcome. If you're dealt one of these hands, there are almost no circumstances in which you should play them. If you see these particular card combinations in your starting hand, your best option is to fold 'em.
