Andra Oger: Ace can be the highest or lowest card in your hand. A2345 is a valid straight. 10,J,Q,K,A is a valid straight. You can't wrap around from K to A to 2. One thing to remember: You need to have a 5 or a 10 to make a straight....Show more
Rosalia Hibler: Are you sure no wrap around, I just looked on wikipedia and it says you can have a2345 but the wrap around and can not make both ends wrap around if that makes any sense?
Everette Rovinsky: you gotta talk to the casino manager and let them know your problem. You can ask to be banned from the casino, however there is alot that follows from this. It helps alot first thing, i actually am banned from a casino for being addicted. But the bad side to this is this. If you do go to the casino you are banned from and you come up BIG money, they sec you go to cash out they will with hold your money cause your not suppose to be there. So they money you put forward you dont get back. This is only if they don! t reconize you when you first come in the door. I strongly suggject you do talk to the manager at the casino. They will explain everything....Show more
Georgianna Zollo: A to 5 is the lowest straight possible and 10 to A is the highest. There are no exceptions to this in Holdem or stud or ohaha or any game that is played in an American Poker room.
Lana Uliano: im in love with facebook poker texas holdem too, i started with just 100k in chips and won over 13 million facebook poker chips now. My sister plays like 10 hours a day tho and I never give her any because is so unbelivably bad (im not even kidding), so I make her buy. She usually buys from facebookpokerstore too, they have good prices. I hope it works out for you.
Scot Sepulbeda: Basically wondering if a straight can be made with the combinations listed above or if it has to be 10,J, Q, K, A and can't wrap around and be J,Q,K,A,2 if you dont have the 10.
Serita Hefferon: you can start by find! ing a support group like gamblers anonymous look in the phone ! book
Hugo Pittari: I didn't have too much problem staying away from gambling because I wasn't winning any big scores but the casino certainly put a big dent in my savings.I no longer pay their light bills or finance their operation , I left that job to the suckers who keep feeding them with their hard earned taxed money as I once did because you see I was one of those fool's.
Myesha Zerbe: Please don't just say "stop going," because we said that at least 100 times -- and many thosands of dollars -- ago.*facepalm*
Jamika Gregorio: Sorry, not sure about this
Nona Lentini: Okay, most U.S. states that allow legal gambling have a gaming control board, and if you can find their website for your state you will either have contact information or a link so you can find out how to exclude yourself (typically a couple sheets of paper, and they take your picture at the state police office, no big deal). If you can't find that, contact your state police and they ! typically will be able to help you. Self exclusion is an important step, and it is effective according to research. If you are a compulsive/pathological gambler, controlled gambling is the most difficult option, and abstinence is much easier to maintain. Given the severity of your condition, you may need more than self exclusion and the support provided by GA meetings; you may need treatment. The national problem gambling helpline keeps up with available treatment including certified compulsive gambling counselors in your area: 1-800-522-4700...Show more
Rhett Kaines: Ace has to be the highest card or the lowest card. You can't wrap around.
Barton Sease: If you get yourself banned you will just make yourself crazier by not being able to go at all. I'd say just try to get some help so you can moderatley gamble. I used to set max deposit limits on online poker to make myself quit and it just drove me nuts. I don't reccomend getting banned.Though if all else fai! ls and you want to get banned go to a Black jack table with your husban! d and start making random signals, and start marking cards. That should do it for you. lol...Show more
Kimberlee Bowdish: Basically wondering if a straight can be made with the combinations listed above or if it has to be 10,J, Q, K, A and can't wrap around and be J,Q,K,A,2 if you dont have the 10.
Shandi Wedge: Look at it this way and Ace can be represented as 1 in A 2 3 4 5, or an Ace in 10 J Q K A, not both at the same time

Ignacio Imbier: I really don't know how to stop. I have a problem myself, but it is very mild and I'm not losing my savings or money I need to live on. I know in Atlantic City you can go to the casino and voluntarily ask them to exclude you, and its probably like that everywhere. The thing is, I don't know if that solves your problem. You could still go to a bookie, or even worse, gamble online. You can try Gamblers Anonymous but I really don't know much about it.Rou! lette happens to be a terrible game to play because the casino has a 5.26% advantage, and if you play slot machines they generally take about 8% depending on the casino and denomination. You might want to try playing games where the casino takes less of a cut. If you play blackjack using basic strategy, the casino only has about a 0.5% advantage. If your casino has 9/6 jacks or better video poker, playing with optimal strategy you can keep 99.54% on average, and with cash back comps, etc., you can average close to 100%.I'm not suggesting that you continue gambling - you both have a serious problem and should stop. I'm just thinking that you may have won in the beginning due to luck, but that overall you have lost large sums of money because you are lousy at gambling - you are either playing bad games, not playing with the correct strategy, or both. Roulette is just a terrible game to play. With the casino's huge 5.26% advantage, it is impossible to win in the long ter! m. If you can implement some level of self control and combine that wi! th playing the best games and using the best strategy, you might not lose as much and perhaps can do a limited amount of gambling to satisfy your addiction without going broke....Show more
Shaquita Wernicki: Except in games (usually casual private ones) with house rules allowing non-standard hands like wraparound straights, big/little dogs, four-flushes, etc., they don't count.
Lou Ravelo: A-2-3-4-5 is a straight, but 2-A-K-Q-J is not.
Kirk Coolbeth: So glad that I found this question already answered! its like you read my thoughts!
Tomi Vauters: Gambling can be stopped, addiction must be treated. Go to support groups for gamblers, get the support of your family and friends, stay away from places where people gamble or from places that you used to freguent. Do different things than when you were gambling. It only takes 21 days to change a habit if you replace it with something else. Get professional help for the addiction. You can get info from your ! local social service organizations, from your church or community center and from the yellow pages. Good Luck...Show more
Roxane Leathers: Best advice I can give is go to a doctor to arrange a psychiatric appointment. Although psychiatrist's aren't cheap, you won't lose money as quickly as you are doing gambling.Your gambling addiction could be a minor thing, easy to cure if you get professional help.Try the link below:http://www.google.com.au/search?q=gambling+help&ie...All the best, Phil...Show more
Valentine Willinger: Every straight has to have a 10 or a 5.Start or stop with the Ace, no wraparound
Kristina Brockwell: you can make a straight with A-2-3-4-5 or 10-J-Q-K-Ayou can only start or end with ace to make a straight using ACE.
Kizzy Hett: Just follow the "handy dandy strategy guide" for 6 decks. Honestly it doesn't matter if they use 4 decks or 8 decks. The strategy guide is going to be the same, unless you are an expert card counter.Don! 't forget one thing - This strategy guide is going to help you play per! fect Basic Strategy. The only thing that means, is that in the long run you will LOSE LESS than someone else who is NOT playing perfect Basic Strategy. Blackjack is STILL a "House" game. That means in the long run the casino WILL have your money!So what does this mean? Most importantly, IF YOU WIN just remember you won because of ONE REASON ONLY - you got LUCKY!!! That's it! Don't ever fool yourself into thinking you have some special system or strategy that's going to allow you to MAKE money by playing Blackjack. You don't. If you win, it's only because you were lucky. If you ever DO fool yourself into believing you can make money by playing Blackjack, then you are doomed to go very, very broke.Have fun, and good luck! Blackjack is a great game to play, and it does give you a fairly good chance that on any given day, you might end up ahead of the casino....Show more
Hunter Osterberger: In the state of PA anyone can be added to the banned list simply by thei! r request.It stinks you have pissed all your money away. I have found in life when your surroundings are causing a problem in life maybe it's time to move. If you don't have the will power to quit on your own, seek professional help. If that doesn't work you may want to move.Sometimes the best thing for a person with an addiction is to find another addiction. If you married and keep it with your spouse sex is a great addiction to take on, you still get a rush and it can be fun and time consuming....Show more
Hai Biggart: Just ask the casino to 86 you or ban you. They will do it.
Marylee Lucks: positive, no wraps arounds. ace can be used in high straight low low straight
Hunter Beech: i would like to know how many decks the dealers use at the shoe blackjack tables so i can use my handy dandy strategy guide on thhe game
Toby Caswell: Ace can be the highest or lowest card in your hand. A2345 is a valid straight. 10,J,Q,K,A is a valid straight. You can'! t wrap around from K to A to 2. One thing to remember: You need to have! a 5 or a 10 to make a straight....Show more
Adrian Sherlin: A straight cannot wraparound but must be of any five consecutive cards, with the Ace playing either low or high, your choice. So yes, A-2-3-4-5 is a straight. It's commonly referred to as a wheel (A-K-Q-J-10 is commonly called a Broadway straight). J-Q-K-A-2 is not a straight.
