Straight flush [ edit ]

An ace-high straight flush, such as A♦ K♦ Q♦ J♦ 10♦, is called a royal flush 🏀 or royal straight flush and is the best possible hand in ace-high games when wild cards are not used.[5][15][16] A 🏀 five-high straight flush, such as 5♥ 4♥ 3♥ 2♥ A♥, is called a steel wheel and is both the best 🏀 low hand and usually the best high hand of the showdown in ace-to-five high-low split games.[4]

An ace-high straight, such as 🏀 A♣ K♣ Q♦ J♠ 10♠, is called a Broadway straight,[20] while a five-high straight, such as 5♠ 4♦ 3♦ 2♠ 🏀 A♥, is called a baby straight,[21] bicycle or wheel and is the best possible hand in ace-to-five low games (where 🏀 it is a high card hand, not a straight).[22][23]

Three of a kind [ edit ]

High card, also known as no 🏀 pair or simply nothing, is a hand that does not fall into any other category, such as K♥ J♥ 8♣ 🏀 7♦ 4♠ ("high card, king" or "king-jack-high" or "king-high").[17][26] Note that under ace-to-five low rules, straights, flushes and straight flushes 🏀 are not possible, so such hands are instead high card hands.[7] It ranks below one pair.[5]
