The distinction between a straight flush and a royal flush
They're the same. All straights and flushes are ranked according to the highest card that makes the hand. And no one calls a T-J-Q-K-A straight a royal straight.
Bottom line, if you've got a straight flush you're gonna win the hand.
The very best hand possible obvi deserves its own name.
"OMG, I got a straight flush to the ace!"
Vs
"OMG I got a Royal Flush!!!"
PS: I know you know this, but you can def lose a hand with a straight flush.
