No Flushes in Aces-Low?
I was puzzled by the statement in the section on 'Flushes' that "Under ace-to-five low rules, flushes are not possible". Whether an ace counts as high or low makes no difference to it's suit, e.g. hearts or spades, so why doesn't a hand like 10, 7, 6, 3 and Ace of hearts count as a flush? On looking at the article on ace-to-five low games, it seems that there is just a separate rule in those games that flushes don't score with any particular value. So it is not that a flush is not possible, just that it doesn't count as higher than any other hand. If this is correct someone might try and clarify this section.2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:492A:659B:43BD:CE61 (talk) 15:18, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * In ace-to-five low, hands that would otherwise be flushes do score with a particular value: they score as high-card hands. Thus, flushes are not possible in any meaningful sense. Hpesoj00 (talk) 16:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

No Royal Flush?
I'm just wondering why no mention of the Royal Flush (10, J, Q, K, A of all the same suit)? Isn't this supposed to be the top-scoring hand?

 * Royal flush is mentioned in the straight flush section. It doesn't have its own section because is just a nickname for the highest-ranked straight flush. Hpesoj00 (talk) 12:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
