A good hand and honest (8)
I believe the answer is:
straight
I believe this is a triple definition!
'a good' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'hand' is the second definition.
(poker)
'and' is a link.
'honest' is the third definition.
(associated in meaning)
(Other definitions for straight that I've seen before include "Honest, not crooked" , "Without deviations or curves" , "Honest - direct" , "Without curve or bend" , "Neat (of drinks)" .)
