How is this hand made?
A straight is 5 consecutive cards. Lowest: A-2-3-4-5 (the "Wheel"). Highest: 10-J-Q-K-A ("Broadway"). The Ace can be low or high but not "wrap around" (Q-K-A-2-3 is not a legal straight).

Strategy — how to play it
Beware the "sucker straight" — a low straight that can be beaten by a higher straight on the same board. Watch for flush threats on the board — if 3 cards of the same suit are showing, your straight is at risk. Value bet carefully.
