    thats cool, I just remember at a home game before someone presented that as their hand. And as I was the one with most knowledge of the game I was the one to say it couldn't be used. It was something that had ever crossed my mind before. I looked it up on the internet and found a site saying that at some home games this was accepted as being worth more than three-of-a-kind but less than a real straight.

    Thanks for the answer BTW.

    Was playing a home game withe board having AxQTJ - Player A bets 100 Player B raises to 500 Player C re-raises to 100.

    Both Players A & B fold.

    "Had you got the K?"

    "Nope"

    "An ace?"

    "No, I had the 2"

    I was in hysterics that he managed to get away with it - he genuinely thought he had the straight... If he'd been called and lost the hand he would've moaned about it FOREVER!
