Texas Hold 'em Poker Nuts VI - The Nut Straightflush

Texas Hold 'em Poker Nut Hands VI - Straightflushes

There can be only one nut straightflush in Texas Hold 'em Poker.

You have the nuts in Texas Hold 'em Poker if you have a royal flush and at least one of the five cards that make up that straightflush in the hole.

You have the nuts if your straightflush is king or queen high and you have the ten or higher of that straightflush in the hole.

You have the nuts if your straightflush is jack high or smaller and you have the middle or higher card of that straightflush in the hole and there is no possibility of a higher straightflush.
