The odds of this happening though are very rare and almost impossible in texas holdem because the board requires three cards of one suit for anyone to have a flush in that suit. STRAIGHT FLUSH: Top Card: NA: Straight flushes come in varying strengths from five high to a king high. A King High Straight Flush loses only to a Royal. The odds of hitting a flush draw on the turn are 4.2 to 1. The odds of hitting a straight draw on the turn are 4.9 to 1.

Remember that every mistake you make preflop will only be magnified on later streets. The chart below clearly shows that playing weak hole cards (for example three gapped connectors) will rarely give you the best hand on the flop.

This is why you should play only a narrow range of the best hole cards and fold everything else. It is especially important when you are a beginner. The more weak hands you play, the more money you will lose in the long term.
