Does a straight beat three of a kind?
Yes. A straight beats three of a kind.
Straight Winner
Makes a straight.
Three of a Kind Loses
Makes a three of a kind.
Five cards in sequence are harder to make than three of one rank, so a straight ranks above three of a kind, even a set of queens. Players holding a set often pay off a straight because trips feel strong, but on a connected board the straight is ahead.
Quick tip: A straight outranks trips, even three aces.
