# Straight Flush

A Straight Flush is a hand where all five cards are of the same suit and in sequence according to their ranks. Straight flush hands are ranked relative to each other based on the rank of the highest card in their sequence. As the highest ranked card in a sequence increases, the straight flush's relative ranking increases amongst others in its category.

### Example:

versus

Player 1 has an Ace-high straight flush:
Player 2 has a Queen-high straight flush:
Since player 1's straight's sequence starts with a higher ranked card (i.e an Ace) than player 2's (i.e. a Queen), player 1's straight flush is ranked higher.

It is important to note that even though the Ace is always the highest ranked card in Texas Hold'em, it can be used in sequences as a card whose rank follows the Two. This means the highest possible straight-flush is an Ace-high straight flush (e.g. Ah Kh Qh Jh Th), and the lowest is a Five-high straight flush (e.g. 5h 4h 3h 2h Ah).

An Ace-high straight flush (often called a royal flush) is the best possible hand in Texas Hold'em since it is the highest ranked hand within the highest ranked hand type.
