Question 11: Does a Three of a Kind beat a Low Straight?
A: Hand ranking in poker is applied by category, and then by the individual card ranks.
A three of a kind hand ranks above a straight hand. So it does not matter if the straight is a low straight hand or a high straight hand, as any three of a kind will rank over a straight.
