Royal flush and straigh flush

The two best hands in poker are royal flushes and straight flushes. The odds of getting dealt either is rare, but it does happen. Here is a little more information about these two powerful hands.

"Your best chance to get a Royal Flush in a casino is in the bathroom." This one is from VP Pappy. This is just a very comical way of saying how rare is a royal flush in poker. It shows just about how hard it is to get a Royal Flush in poker. Even those who play a lot of poker do not get to see a royal flush, that is how rare it appears. For those of you who don't know what a royal flush is, it is a five-card hand, suited ten, jack, queen, king, and ace. This is the most powerful hand in poker, it beats any other hand. Do you see just how hard to get that kind of hand? That is why the movie Maverick is considered by many too unrealistic. In Maverick, Mel Gibson draws a Royal Flush at the final table. In my own experience, I haven't seen a royal flush played before, except in the movies. So when you get to see one, remember that moment because it is one of a kind.

The next quotation tells of the second most powerful poker hand, which is the straight flush. "You can't get dealt a straight flush unless you're in the game" came from an unknown source. Like the Royal flush, the straight flush appears rarely, but it appears more than the Royal flush does. I myself have seen the straight flush played, twice in my poker games. A straight flush in poker is like a royal flush, it is also composed of five suited cards in succession. Only, a straight flush does not need the highest cards to be formed, unlike the royal flush. A poker straight flush can start from three then end with seven, as long as they are suited, they will form a straight flush. This quotation tells us that even though straight flush is next to impossible in poker, we must not give up hope in getting it. If we never play a poker game in our life, how will we get a straight flush? It just says that a straight flush is hard to get, but not impossible. This also goes for our dreams, like being the best poker player. It is very hard to do achieve, but if you'll never try, then you'll never succeed.
