I have the cards K-A-2-3-4 selected.
Am I tripping or is this a bug? Or do I just not understand what a Straight is in Poker lol.

Ace is high and low (at least in regular poker), but you can't wrap around like that. It will have to be A 2 3 4 5

Because it's not a straight.

Anyone who's ever play poker knows that's not a straight.

Oh I see I misunderstood what the Ace represented. I always thought the Ace was a wrap around and not double as the highest and the lowest. Crazy that I'm just learning this now lol. Thanks for the explanation.

You either need to go A-2-3-4-5 or A-K-Q-J-10. The combo you selected is not a straight, more like a High Card.

There are some games where this is true (especially many varients of Solitaire) but not poker.

Oh gotcha. Might've been why I always thought it was that way.
