Does a flush beat a straight?

Yes. A flush beats a straight in poker.

Flush Winner

Makes a flush.

Straight Loses

Makes a straight.

A flush is rarer than a straight, so it ranks above it. Five cards of one suit come along less often than five in a row, and in poker the harder hand to make always wins. The flush wins here regardless of the straight’s high card.

Quick tip: Flushes are scarcer than straights, and scarcer hands beat more common ones.

Now put the rankings to work.

Practice real hands against opponents who punish the wrong calls.
