Best Flush Poker Rules

Best Flush Poker Rules are a variant of 5 Card Stud. In this game, as the name suggests, only flushes win pots. In this game all players are dealt 5 cards as in 5 Stud.

The ranking of hands in this game are as follows:

Straight Flush - Any flush where the cards run consecutively .i.e. 1,2,3,4,5 spades.
5 Card Flush - Any 5 cards of the same suit.
4 Card Flush - Any 4 cards of the same suit.
3 Card Flush - Any 3 cards of the same suit.
2 Card Flush - Any 2 cards of the same suit.

The following illustration shows the betting structure of the game.

All players ante

Each player is dealt one card face-down (hole card) and one card face-up (door card)

First betting round

Each player is dealt one card face-up

Second betting round

Each player is dealt another card face-up (4th street)

Third betting round

Each player is dealt a last card face-up (river)

Final betting round

Showdown

The best Flush Wins the pot.

Note: If two players are tied .i.e. both players had the same straight flush (different suits), the winner is decided by the next highest card. Whichever player holds the highest card after the cards used to use the flush wins the pot.
