what is "broadway"?

[LAFYRWMN]

Does anyone know what the term "broadway" means?

[ORGrinder]

it's and A high straight (10, J, Q, K, A)... unsuited of course (suited this is a Royal Flush).

thanks- I had just completed a search where I found this answer- but here is the situation. I was in a game where I held A, T . At showdown, I thought I lost the hand because I didn't see anything. I can't remember what the board showed completly, but I remember seeing 2 Kings. I heard the dealer call out "ok 3 kings here..." referring to the other guy. Then he looked over at my cards and said "oh, a Broadway!" and I won the pot. I didn't see a straight there. I was very tired, so I guess looking back, I must have missed it- since the only reference to broadway I can find is that of a straight.

Boy, Did I learn a couple of valuable lessons here!
