What does a flush consist of?

• A. Cards with identical nominal but different suits
• B. Cards with the same suit and different nominal
• C. Cards that are in sequential order
• D. All cards of different suits

Answer: (B)

A flush consists of cards that all share the same suit but have different nominal values (ranks). For example, if you have five cards that are all hearts but show different values such as 2, 5, 7, 10, and King, this combination makes a flush. The key aspect of a flush is the uniformity in the suit while allowing for variation in rank, which distinguishes it from other poker hands, such as a straight or a pair. The focus on suits rather than ranks is crucial for identifying a flush in card games.
