For Bond, preferring women with funds in hand for poker (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

straight flush

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for bond preferring women with funds' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hand for poker' is the wordplay.
'hand' becomes 'flush' (poker).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'poker' becomes 'straight' (straight poker is a kind of poker).
'flush' after 'straight' is 'STRAIGHT FLUSH'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for straight flush that I've seen before include "Good poker hand" , "Powerful hand at poker" , "Gambler's hand that should win" , "In poker, five consecutive cards of the same suit" , "player's hand - with 2d" .)
