Split Pots with Straights, Flushes, and Straight Flushes

In the case of straights, flushes, and straight flushes it's simply a matter of who has the highest ranked card(s) in their straight or flush. There are only ten different possible five card straights. The same goes for straight flushes (including the royal flush). In a straight the suits do not matter. Here are some examples with straights and straight flushes.

The same idea goes for flushes, except that if both players have the same high card then you compare the second highest card. If the second highest is the same you go to the third...until the five highest flush cards are compared. Here are some examples with flushes.
