# Straight

A Straight is a hand where all five cards are in a sequence according to their ranks. The ranking of straights depends on the highest ranked card in the five-card sequence making up the straight. As with straight flushes, Aces can serve as the highest ranked card in an Ace-high straight, or as the lowest ranked card in a Five-high straight.

The best possible straight is an Ace-high straight (e.g. As Ks Qd Jc Th), and the worst possible straight is a Five-high straight (e.g. 5s 4s 3d 2c Ah).

### Example #1:

versus

Player 1 has an Ace-high straight:
Player 2 has a Queen-high straight:
Since player 1 has the straight starting with the higher ranked card (i.e. the Ace), player 1 has the best hand.

### Example #2:

versus

Player 1 is playing the board and has a Queen-high straight. The best hand player 2 can make is also a Queen-high straight.
Since both hands are straights whose highest cards are equally ranked (i.e. Queen), the hands tie.
