I just don't understand why 9-10-J-K-A is a valid straight. The order seems wrong because the Q is missing. ChatGPT keeps telling me it's correct.

I came across this because earlier, someone won with this straight at Hustler Casino stream. But I still can't wrap my head around it. A proper straight should be 8-9-10-J-Q, 9-10-J-Q-K, or 10-J-Q-K-A. So how can 9-10-J-K-A be valid? ?(

Hi julimartin21,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

I have no idea.
Be aware that ChatGPT often "hallucinates" especially when the topic is not one of its main areas of expertise.

In 6+ holdem A-6-7-8-9 is a straight, but that doesn't apply here.

Not sure 9+ hold'em exist. Otherwise it could make sense. Like K A 9 T J, but that's for me the only explenation I can think off right now :f_confused:

I used a couple of different AI search engines, and there is no variation of poker where this is a straight.
However, one of them pointed out that this could easily be a very strong A-high hand
