Playing Hold'em poker and had a 10-J in hand, 9-Q-A on the table. Opponent held A-4 and won with a pair of A's. I thought I would win with the straight. Not so?

In all forms of poker I know - you need 5 cards for a straight and it looks like you're playing hold em so...no dice.– Robbie DeeNov 7, 2013 at 15:39

Clearly this needs more info to be answerable. Radu pretty much summed it up though.– Toby BoothNov 16, 2013 at 14:30

I don't know what a wheel of straight means, but not having a full straight of 5 cards in a row even 4 cards is worth nothing besides high Card. Your value was High Card A (which is on board already)
A straight means 5 Cards in a row, so you missed a 8 or a K.
He wins with pair of AA , that's correct.
A wheel or is the name for the low straight ( A-2-3-4-5 )
A steel wheel is the name for the lowest straight flush (A-2-3-4-5)
You didn't have a straight at all. You need 5 cards in a row for a straight and you had 9,10,J,Q. Without an 8 or a K to finish it you had nothing of worth.
It is clear that your opponent has A,A,Q,9,4 But you only have A,Q,J,10,9
You missed the straight by one card. If you got K instead of 9, it will be a straight and you might won
