    Straight flush beats four of a kind in standard 5-card poker with no wildcards.

    Note that a "royal flush" is just the highest ranked straight flush

    Straight flush beats 4 of a kind. The highest poker hand is a royal flush which consists of AKQJ10 of the same suit!

    Any straight flush beats a 4 of a kind. This rarely happens

    Many casinos have bad beat jackpots when this does happen.

    They say if you have 4 nines or better and lose the hand, the loser of the hand gets 50% of the jackpot, the winner of the hand gets 25% of the jackpot, and the rest of the table split the remaining 25%

    A straight flush is harder to get than a 4 of a kind

    Straight flush wins.

    Whilst technically a straight flush beats four of a kind,

    it doesn't give you the same buzz as having all four suits

    of one card on your hand.

    If you're playing for money - straight flush wins.

    If you just want to show off - then it's four of a kind.
