When comparing individual card ranks, the ace is the highest card. An ace can be used as a one to make straights or straight flushes, but in that case it counts as low card. For example, a straight or straight flush 2-3-4-5-6 is higher than A-2-3-4-5. T-J-Q-K-A is the highest possible straight or straight flush.
If a hand matches multiple definitions, the strongest hand is used. For example, 2-3-4-5-6 of Hearts is a straight flush, even though it matches the definitions of straight flush, flush, straight and high card.
If the hand in a poker game is over and both of you have a straight, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a split pot. One player can have a better straight than the other player. If the board shows 5-6-7-J-2 and you have 4-8 in your you have a straight (4-5-6-7-8), however if your opponent has the following cards; 8-9 he has a straight from 5.

| Hand name | Sample hand | Tiebreaker |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Flush Five cards in sequence, all of the same suit. The highest possible straight flush (A-10) is called a royal flush. | Straight flushes are compared by the rank of their highest card (1).
