German term or phrase: fertiger Flush
"Ich habe ebenfalls gecheckt, da ich von einem Raise mit dem fertigen Flush ausgehen muss und meine Jacks dann folden müsste".

This text is explaining why a poker player chose to play his hand a certain way and contains a lot of poker-specific terms, which I've translated ok. It's just this one term that's confusing me. Is it a straight flush? or just a flush? Previously the text referred to a flush draw, are they the same thing?

I have Googled the term and found:

1/ "Jetzt ist es jedoch viel wahrscheinlicher, dass bereits ein fertiger Flush oder Straight möglich ist".
2/ "Ich überlege mir im Moment mein Preflopspiel im NL und habe mir dazu folgende Fragen gestellt:

1. connectors (67): Wie oft openend-Draw / wie oft gutshot-Draw / wie oft fertige Straight
2. 1gap-connectors (68): Wie oft openend-Draw / wie oft gutshot-Draw / wie oft fertige Straight
3. suited cards: wie oft Flush-Draw / fertiger Flush
4. suited-connectors (67s): Wie oft openend-Draw / wie oft gutshot-Draw / wie oft fertige Straight / wie oft Flush-Draw / fertiger Flush
5: suited-1gap-connectors (68s): Wie oft openend-Draw / wie oft gutshot-Draw / wie oft fertige Straight / wie oft Flush-Draw / fertiger Flush

Bin gespannt, ob mir jemand weiterhelfen kann."

The second example leads me to think that a "fertiger Flush" is different to a flush draw.

Any poker players out there?

agree Courtney Sliwinski: Looked this one up for you- term is made or complete hand flush, have a look at this website for further clarification. It is basically a flush that has been dealt, and the player doesn't need to draw for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_jargon#C
