Street (card game)
A road (Engl. Straight ) or sequence is in card games an ascending sequence of cards . For example, cards 3 ♠ 4 ♣ 5 ♠ 6 ♣ 7 ♠ result in a street. If a straight consists of only one suit (e.g. spades ), it is called a straight flush .
Because of their relative frequency, roads are usually set in the middle range of possible values of the various card combinations.
The ace can count as 1 for a straight, so A, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also straight.
Example: A ♣ 2 ♠ 3 ♠ 4 ♥ 5 ♥
In dice games too , the term street stands for an ascending sequence of numbers.
If only one particular map is missing from the middle of a map street , this is called a gutshot . If two cards can lead to a straight, this double gutshot is also called a “double belly buster”. An example of this are cards 6 8 9 10 JK; both a Q and a 7 lead to the street. If a card is missing at the beginning or at the end, one speaks of an open ended straight draw . The chances of hitting a matching card for the “Double Belly Buster” or the Open Ended Straight Draw are the same.
Around-the-corner straight
A street “around the corner” is usually not considered a valid hand in poker . Such a road is z. For example, the sequence of cards KA 2 3 4 or DKA 2 3. While the ace is valid as both the highest and the lowest card in a straight, you cannot add further cards to the “wrong” ends.
