Why is a flush better than a straight?

You have more card combinations to make a straight, since they do not have to be of the same suit. You have only 13 outs to make any flush. That is why a flush is higher in value.

Yes but those stats take into account only a five draw out of 52deckThose are raw data and biased.If you play straight poker no discard well that's the odds But if you go texas hold'em...That's another matter.All the missing low connectors got less chances.Example 4&8 what are the odd?Of the 5 card to get 3 that gonna fill the straight? Vs the odds of getting a flush of those same cards.You got less chance of getting straight out of 4s and less or Q and above than from 5s to 10sAnd finally the wining straight vs loosing... the upper hand is winning over the lower end so more then half the straight sequence are just discarded and never seen.Because the odd is sequencial based unlike for flush.If you draw a 5 of heart... there is 32 cards of the 51 remaining that can allow to get a straight; vs 12 out of 51 for flush.The sequence odd give more chance up front but that goes down.If you got 2 3 4 6 of heart what are the odds of getting a flush vs a straight?You still got 9 out of 48 for the flush but the straight is down to 4 cards out of 48.So if you drop half of the odd for those missing connectors .Flush are more commun.I think it should be added straight of odd or even just to increase the chance of straight more appart from the flush and make it obvious that flush is better.If you had sequences of...2 4 6 8 10 Q AAndA 3 5 7 9 J KAfter taking into account the the discarded missing connector you get a clearly better odd vs flush and still less better vs 3 of a kind.
