I was playing poker in the casino and I got a A 2 3 4 5, which should count as a straight. It said I had high card and didn’t win the hand. [![](https://i.imgur.com/E3VcBLR.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/E3VcBLR.jpg) ---

In Tower Unite, aces are always high. `10|J|Q|K|A`, for instance, would be a valid straight. `Q|K|A|2|3`, however, would not be. ---

> In normal holdem poker it is possible to use the ace as a 1. Its called a “wheel”. You are correct that you cant do a J Q K A 2 though. ---

And how come there isn’t any small or big blinds? Everyone is forced to go in at min bet. There is a lot of things that make this different from normal texas holdem ---
