Questions
Name the hand.
1 to 5 is a low straight. 2 to 6 is a high straight.
Which is better: a full house or a high straight?
A full house, even though straights are slightly rarer in one roll. That’s the traditional order from card poker. When two hands are the same type, the higher numbers win.
