Re: Why does a flush beat a straight?
In order from lowest hand to highest (hi-card, 1 pair, 2 pair, 3 kind, straight, flush, full house, four kind, to straight flush).
23294460 - hi card
58627800 - pair
31433400 - 2 pair
6461620 - 3 of a kind
6180020 - Straight
4047644 - Flush
3473184 - Full House
224848 - 4 of a kind
41584 - Straight Flush
As you see straights are more frequent than flushes. That's not even including the fact that if you have both a straight and a flush, but not a straight flush, its counted as a flush hand. E.g. (Ts 9s 8s 7s 6h 2s 3d) - is a flush, Ten high.
