Texas Hold'em
Verdict
One standard 52-card deck, no jokers.; Cards rank ace high down to two. The ace also plays low in a 5-4-3-2-A straight.; No suit outranks another — suits never break a tie in hold'em.
Why people argue about this
People often assume that in a straight flush tie-breaker, suits matter since they break ties elsewhere in poker. But here, suits are irrelevant; only card rank counts, so regardless of whether it's spades, hearts, diamonds, or clubs, the highest-ranking 5-4-3-2-A straight wins.
