5 non-suited cards in numerical order.
If they are also suited, it is a straight flush.

A striaght is a run of cards. There are many possiblities on making a straight, and they are as followings:
1) ace, 2, 3, 4, 5
2) 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
3) 3,4,5,6,7
4) 4,5,6,7,8
5) 5,6,7,8,9
6) 6,7,8,9,10
7) 7,8,9,10,,jack
8) 8,9,10,,jack, queen
9) 9,10,jack,queen and king
10) 10, jack, queen, king, and Ace
From numbers 1-9 if any of these are all the same suit then you have a straight flush, and the last one number 10 if all five cards are the same suit--meaning clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades--then you have a royal flush. The royal flush is also a straight flush because you have five card in a run. If the cards are not the same then it is a straight, but straights will get beaten by full houses, straight flushes, royal flushes, and four of a kinds.
If you have played rummy, it is the same as making runs but instead of a run of three it is a run of five.

If you are still confused go here http://www.theultimatepokerguide.com/article.php/texas-holdem-poker-game-rules this has a visual example of what makes a straight in hold em. Remember you are playing for the best five card hand, so the straight must be five cards in sequential order.

Five cards in order (e.g., 2-3-4-5-6 or 9-10-J-Q-K).
There is also a "straight flush" which is five cards of the same suit in order (e.g. 4â¥-5â¥-6â¥-7â¥-8â¥).
