Mr. Grummp, a Royal Flush is in fact a straight flush so straight flushes beat all.
An Ace high straight flush beats all.

Straight flush beats non-straight flush.
Between 2 flushes (or straight flushes), highest card wins (ace always counts high except for a wheel straight flush). If tied, then 2nd-highest card and so on. In the possible (but extremely rare in 5-card draw) case that all 5 cards identical rankwise, it's a split pot. (The earlier poster is wrong regarding ranking of suits...as far as hand strength is concerned, all suits are of equal strength.)

A royal flush beats everything! Ace, king, queen, jack and 10, all of the same suit.
Below that, a straight flush wins. Five cards in sequence of the same suit.

The Order of Strongest Suits:
1) Spades
2) Hearts
3) Clubs/Clovers
4) Diamond
And if there is a draw between two suits, the higher kicker wins (Ace is highest, then King, Queen, etc.)
Hands in general, Royal Flush is the strongest. Which consists of 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace (Spades). That's the BEST hand you can ever get in poker.
