Straight Flush (Poker)
A straight flush is a straight but all of the same suit and in numerical sequence, for instance 2 
3 4 5 6 . These hands are very rare and in fact you will only hit this hand 1 in 72,193.33 hands. The name comes from a B-29 super fortress that participated in the attach on Hiroshima on 6th August 1945.
In poker terms, this is the second best hand that can be made beating four or a kind and worse. Aces can either be high or low cards when making up a straight. It is possible to have 2 straight flushes in the same hand (although the odds would be astronomical to do so). The winner would be the person with the highest card, the King would represent the nut straight flush. If a player held the ace this would be a Royal Flush, the best hand that can be achieved in poker.
Players tend to overplay suited connectors as they represent the possibility to make the flush, the straight or both. The problem with playing small suited connectors is that you will miss most of the time or may hit a flush or straight. The problem with playing a hand like 6 7 is that when you hit your flush, and are faced with aggression, you have no idea whether your flush is ahead.
