A-2-3-4-5: HELP, MrTeLLnj, 18. Nov 2003 10:37

I know A 2-3-4-5 is a straight . Does this go for any low numbered cards in order ( 4 of them with an ACE) equals a striaght??

Example: A-2-3-4-5............A-3-4-5-6.............A-6-7-8-9

I know the first one is a straight, what about the others

No. A-2-3-4-5 is a straight not because the A counts as a kind of joker but because it can count as a 1 in that case. But K-A-2-3-4 is also not a straight because A can't count low and high at the same time.

No, look at it this way, you can count your Ace as a 1 or as a 14, not as anything between. Also, you can't wrap-around straights. So there are only two straights you can make with an A:

1- The wheel (A2345) and
2- Broadway (TJQKA)

The first one is a straight....the rest are ace high junk.

What about K-K-4-2-8?

Sorry couldn't resist. My suggestion would be a little google searching for these types of questions, not that we don't love to help...

Good times,
ReMMy
