In depth

A straight flush is a poker hand consisting of five consecutive cards of the same suit, ranking just below a royal flush. It is one of the strongest possible hands, surpassing all other combinations except a higher straight flush or a royal flush. This hand occurs when the cards align in both sequence and suit, making it a rare and powerful holding in gameplay.
