A straight flush is a hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, such as Qâ£ Jâ£ 10â£ 9â£ 8â£ (a hand that meets the requirements of both a straight and a flush). Two such hands are compared by their card that is ranked highest.
The trump card is the winning card. If you play a trump card during a game of Spades, it means that you take the whole trick â in other words, you'll pick up every card on the table. Any card game in which one card or suit ranks the highest has a trump card, the card that wins a hand. You can also use the phrase metaphorically, to describe some secret advantage you have. For example, you might think of your mom's homemade brownies as your trump card when you're trying to convince your friends to come over after school.
