#

royal flush is just a fancy straight flush, that being said, you have a flush (AKQJ) and a flush (KQJ9)

#

or in the second pic (AQJT) makes the flush

#

I understand that, but isnt royal flush "The highest possible straight, while also a flush"

#

Second image, in both scenarios, I dont have a straight flush

#

yes, it is a bit weird here but nothing too impactful, Royal flush is essentially defined as an Ace-High straight

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

Oh

#

How do I have a straight flush on the first image tho?

by the game's logic a royal flush is a straight flush with no card lower than a 10

#

four fingers allows both the straight component, and the flush component to be made with 4 cards

#

you have both at the same time

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

So they just combine it?

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

pretty much

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

Huh

#

Well imo they should either pick the one with the highest score, or just not do that

#

It had me confused

#

the game defaults to choosing the hand with the highest base rank (the order in the "run info" tab)

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

So in the first image, if my straight was lvl 5 and my flush lvl 1, it should score with the straight, instead of making it a straight flush

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

no, that specific case will always be a straight flush

grave ginkgo May 30, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

the joker pretty much exists for straight flushes

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:47 PM

#

the game doesn't care about hand level

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

Thats so weird

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

the game always chooses from top down according to this list

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

So its not a bug, just weird interactions?

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

yeah

jade shell May 30, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

yes

#

if you have shortcut, is A,Q,10,8,6 a royal flush?

true wraith May 30, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

Got it

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

shortcut somewhat undermines the specific conditions of a royal flush

#

but it's mostly just semantics

#

I don't think that most Ace-High straights made with shortcut count

#

but it doesn't matter in the game

jade shell May 30, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

yeah just curious

broken current May 30, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

broken current the game always chooses from top down according to this list

speaking on this, if your hand was A A A A 5, all being the same suit, the game would always pick 4oak over flush, irregardless of the flush level

jade shell if you have shortcut, is A,Q,10,8,6 a royal flush?

no btw, all scoring cards have to be of score 10 or higher for it to be a royal flush
