Broadway

Broadway can mean the highest possible straight from Ten to Ace or any starting combination that includes two of these cards.

For example, a player holding KQ as his hole cards is widely referred to as having a broadway hand. If the flop comesAJT, now he has the broadway straight, which is the best possible hand in this situation, assuming all community cards aren’t of the same suit.

Broadway starting hands are considered strong holdings and can be played from most positions at the table, giving this group a dedicated term in the poker community.
