What is 8 9 10 jq in poker?

You would still have a straight, as your five-card hand would be 8-9-10-J-Q. All it takes is someone to have a K though and your straight would be beaten. Therefore, your straight really isn't as strong as the previous example. The lesson here is a simple one: a hand is only strong when the situation is right.

Is ace 10 a poker?
Ace Ten (A-10) is a decent starting poker hand to have but it is always to be judged if the 10 is the perfect support for your ace. Suited ones will give you a 2% advantage but if not played with caution then the ace may backfire.

Is 9 10 a good poker hand?
These starting poker hands aren't very strong and only prove their worth when a straight is flopped. And the problem with this hand is that even if you hit your straight you know it isn't the nuts and there is another one higher than yours.
