I know it's the Holy Grail of hands, but it's still just an ace-high straight flush. I don't see why a royal flush deserves its own place on the hand-ranking scale.

What I mean is, why does the rank of hands go as follows:
Royal Flush
Straight Flush
Four of a Kind
Full House
Flush
Straight
Three of a Kind
Two Pair
One Pair
Why list Royal Flush at all? It's just a straight flush.

I think its so high because nothing can beat it. If you get a 10 high straight flush, you can still possibly lose to a jack, queen, or king high straight flush, but with a royal flush, there isnt anything higher. and its called "royal" because it has all the royalty in it :)

No. Royal flush is 10 J Q ok A all comparable tournament. A Strait Flush is any 5 playing cards in a row interior the comparable tournament. A Royal flush is in no way reported as a royal strait flush and that i play playing cards alot the two on line and in public video games.

A royal flush is the top five cards - ace down. A straight flush is any consecutive five cards in the same suit. There is a difference.

its actually really easy. a royal flush is a 10, jack, queen, king, ace of the same suit ONLY. straight flush is a straight of the same suit that is anything but the straight i stated above. so, for example, 9, 10, jack, queen, king is a straight flush, or ace, 2, 3, 4, 5

Because the odds of drawing a straight flush are better than drawing a Royal flush.

a royal flush is 10,j,q,k,a with all of the same suit which is the rarest to get in a hand of poker. straight flush is just 10,j,q,k,a of any suit. at least thats how my brain is telling me because its been awhile since ive played
