    Default Wheel Rank

    I am correct in assuming in on-line Hold'em games, that a wheel straight (A2345) is the WORST straight. I have played many games where it's the 2nd highest straight (after broadway). I think this is called Kansas City rules.

    It's never come up... but certainly pretty likely in Hold'em with a 2345 board or something - who wins - A or 6?

    yup, the only nut straight the A can make is the broadway straight.

    Gotta love it when you have Ax on a 2345x board, and some scrub with Q6o takes it down...

    Literally 1 hour after I asked this, I lost with A5 and 234 board to a 56.

    Have I angered the poker gods in some way?

    But I have never heard of that rule before.
    I don't know what they have to say
    It makes no difference anyway.
    Whatever it is...
    I'm against it.
