I believe the answer is:

flush

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

This might be a double definition.

'might this poker hand' is the first definition.

'a washout?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flush that I've seen before include "Cleanse by running water" , "Rich" , "Redden; level" , "Rouse game and put to flight" , "Go red" .)
