In the game of hearts the meaning of the queen of spades?
In the game of hearts, the meaning of the queen of spades is the equivalent of 13 hearts, or half the potential score. She is also known as "Dirty Gertie" because she can be played on someone, often at the last moment, with a low score, pushing their score (which is actually a negative score) up a significant amount, but without giving them enough to invert the score for that hand. She can also be left unplayed by the leader, who finds him/her self unable to get out of the lead, said player then getting the 13 points.

What three cards should you pass at the beginning of the hearts game?
What cards you choose to pass at the start of a hand of Hearts depends on the rest of your hand (thirteen cards). If you have a strong hand, meaning a string of high hearts and several high cards in other suits, you might consider trying to "shoot the moon" (taking all the point cards: 13 hearts and the Queen of Spades); also if you have a strong hand, but with few or no hearts, you might again consider to "shoot the moon" by winning all the tricks using other suits, thus again taking all the point cards. In either case, you should pass and play the hand "backwards", deliberately passing low cards ("losers", particularly low hearts), and playing away your losing low cards at the beginning of the hand, in hoples of coantrolling the end of the hand so as to win all thich e hearts and the Black Queen.However, if you do not have a strong hand, then you should pass away those cards which are likely to win tricks that contain points, such as high hearts and particularly the ace and king of spades (which could force you to "win" the trick containing the Queen of Spades.But in a game of players of well-balanced skill, one must also play defense, including in choosing what to pass. For example, including a low heart in your pass may effectively prevent an opponent from winning all the heart tricks, regardless of the strength of his hand. Also, if you have four or more spades, you might choose to NOT pass away the Queen of Spades, as you should be able to safely control when to "dump" her on a specific opponent (usually the one with the lowest score).

Does a heart flush beat a club flush?
It depends. In standard poker there is no ranking of suits. The hand with the highest total will win. If you are following standard poker rules, a heart flush and club flush would tie (assuming all the cards are the same). However, some rules allow for suit ranking (you would have to agree on the rank before starting the hand), For example, some places in Italy rank the suits as: hearts (high), diamonds, clubs, spades (low) -- other locations have reported the following ranks: spades (high), hearts, clubs, diamonds (low) or hearts (high), diamonds, spades, clubs (low). So, you see why it is important to agree to all of the rules before you start the game.
