Does 5 of a kind beat a straigh flush?
Q. does 5 of a kind beat a royal straight flush
A. Ah, this is a question for the ages. Here's my take.
If the straight flush has no wild cards, it cannot be beat be beat by the 5 of a kind, which must contain one wild card.
If the straight flush has 1 wild card against a five of a kind with one wild card, chop the pot in half. Neither hand is more remarkable than the other.
In other situations, the hand with the least number of wild cards needed to make the hands wins.
Some players have different opinions about whether or not a straight flush with 1 wild card should beat a five of a kind. If you have strong feelings either way, make sure the dealer makes the decision as to what beats what before the hand is dealt to avoid this unlikely argument.
