In Texas Hold-em Poker, can Aces be low as well as high?
Can you use a low ace in a Straight (A, 2, 3, 4, 5), or only a high one?
Answers:
In Texas Hold'em an Ace can be high or low. So a low example is the straight you talked about also known as a wheel. It can also be high TJQKA. And as others have said it cannot wrap like QKA23.
In the case of a flush that has an ace in it, that is always the highest possible flush. In other hands like three or four of a kind and a full house it is always considered a high card. The five high straight is the only time it is considered a low card in fact.
There are other variations of poker which this is slightly different, but in Hold'em it is always this way.
Yeah, Ace's can count as 1.
So,
A,2,3,4,5
Would work as a straight.
As the other person said, you can use an Ace in a straight (A,2,3,4,5)
What you cannot do is extend the straight to the K, Q, J.
Example: Q,K,A,2,3 is not a valid hand.
The A,2,3,4,5 Straight is also the lowest possible straight. So if your oppoonent had a 2,3,4,5,6, their hand would beat yours.
Yes you can use it in a straight like you asked. It is both high and low. For example can also go 10, J, Q, K, A.
Incidently your example is the only way you would ever use the ace as a low card in texas Hold'em. Enjoy your games ;-)
The Ace can be either low or high, whichever would give you the best hand. You can get excellent tips for free at http://gamblingreviewssite.com/pokertips.
Yes, low or high.
Yes, Aces can be low to make a straight, and high in every other situation. You may want to read the rules on http://www.theultimatepokerguide.com. they have some visual examples that may explain any other confusion you have.
Just remember that while Aces can be low, you can't do wrap around straights, so the ace must be the first or last card in the straight.
Yes ,high as Ace and low, as 1 !
An ace can be high or low, but not both in hold'em. So AKQJT is the highest straight, A2345 is the lowest straight (called "the wheel"), and a wrap-around like 32AKQ is worthless.
Note that many players overvalue starting hands like A4 or A5. Because of this, 76 and 65 can win some big money, because, with 543 on the board, 76 beats A2.
Aces can be both high and low in high-low games like Stud high-lo and Omaha/8, which makes them even more powerful than they are in hold 'em.
