An ace-high straight flush, otherwise is known as a royal flush, is beat only by five of a kind. This is only possible in games with wildcards.
Straight Flush - a hand that has five cards in sequence. It also has the identical suit/shape.
Because it is easier to get a straight than a flush. Example: If you've got for instance 8-9 in your hand, then you've got multiple ways of getting a straight. You've got 56789, 6789T, 789TJ, 89TJQ. This means you've got four 5's, 6's, 7's, T's, J's and Q's in the deck that can be drawn. That makes 24 cards that will help you. A flush however consists of 5 cards of the same suit, of every suit there are only 14 cards in a deck. Considdering you are holding 2 cards of the same suit, there are only 12 cards remaining that can help you. Of course preflop you've got a better chance of getting a straight then a flush. On the flop things can - of course change -. The odds of hitting your straight on the Turn or River all depends on which cards are drawn on the flop and/or turn. Fun fact: You can not make a straight without a 5 or a Ten.
No, and if they were, it would be a straight flush.
Yes, four of a kind beats a straight. Only a straight flush (including a royal flush) beats four of a kind in a poker game with no wild cards, i.e. where five of a kind is not possible.
It is not possible to have a straight and a pair as a winning card combination. A combination of 5 cards is used to make the best combination possible, in this case the straight consists of 5 cards, which does not allow a pair to join the combination.
