Anybody play PaiGow Poker?

If so, is there a different rule when it comes to straights when ranking cards? I had a from what I remember 3,4,5,6,7 OS straight and the computer had a A,2,3,4,5 OS straight and said dealer had a better hand. When I inquired about this, I was told that in PaiGow poker which has different rules than regular pokeran Ace straight regardless of it being used as the low card is stronger than the straight I had. Is that correct?

Did you push on the other half of the hand?

Im not quite sure, but 34567 would seem like the better hand. Perhaps your other hand lost or something.. I dunno.

The only difference in paigow poker and regular poker is the straight rank order

Highest straight rank order:

1. A-10
2. A-5
3. K-9
4. Q-8
etc...

otherwise all other poker rules follow..these straight rankings are used in vegas , AC and everywhere else!
