four flush
Plural
four flushes
1
(in poker) a hand with four cards of the same suit, with the expectation of drawing the fifth card of that suit to complete a flush
A four flush is not a standard hand in poker. However, the term may be informally used to describe a situation where a player has four cards of the same suit, but without forming a flush, which requires five cards of the same suit. In most poker games, the focus is on hands like a flush, which consists of five cards of the same suit. A hand with four cards of the same suit does not have a special ranking on its own and is typically compared to other hands based on the remaining cards.
- He had a four flush, with four spades, but was one card away from a flush.
- Even though she had a four flush, she knew she needed the fifth spade to complete the hand.
- With a four flush, he was hopeful, but his opponent had a straight, which beat his hand.
- A four flush can be a strong draw, but without the fifth card, it does not win a pot.
