Couple Of Quick Embarrasing Questions

[Dobbo049 0]

Ok just a couple of simple questions that just about everyone will knowthe reason they are embarrasing is because its basic poker rules that iv never realy looked up properly.1. Do kickers apply to hands like 2 pair and 3 of a kind?E.G.You Have A / K Opponant has A / 9 Board is 7 / A / 2 / A / Q Would you win or would it be a draw?2. When two players have a flush with the highest card an A on the board who wins?E.G. You Have J / K Opponant has 10 / Q :diamond:Board is 7 / A / 2 / 6 / A Because the highest card in both flushes is and Ace, is it a draw? or does the 2nd highest card apply?ThanksStu

use the best five cards count value from highest card to lowest cardin examples you would have AAAKQ vs opponent's AAAQ9 trips K kicker wins AKJ72flush vs opponent's AQ1072 A high flush K kicker wins

You win in both cases for the reasons you have suggested.

what kind of poker are you guys playing? Obviously it's a split pot, one gets the high and the other gets the low

great, im just confused now loli always thought kickers didnt matter in trips. if you both have 3 of a kind you spilt the pot? but thats why im asking u...to add to that heres another one thats always caused arguements...Assumeing im wrong and kickers do matter in trips, is your kicker the highest other card on the board & your hand or just your hand? because if its both then both you and your opponant could have the same set with the same kicker :S And in a Flush i always through if the highest card is on the board, its the 2nd highest card that counts?ThanksStu

It's always the best 5 card hand, in every hand, regardless of what you have. Same goes for 2 pair. If you and your opponent both have 2 pair, AA88, the winner will be determined by the highest 5th card (kicker).In situations of same set, same kicker, it's a split pot.

Just watch some HSP or WSOP vids on youtube and you'll see quite a bit of flush over flush or trips over trips. You were right in the original post though, a better diamond (even if it isn't the top diamond) always wins. As does a better kicker with trips.

It's always the best 5 card hand, in every hand, regardless of what you have. Same goes for 2 pair. If you and your opponent both have 2 pair, AA88, the winner will be determined by the highest 5th card (kicker).In situations of same set, same kicker, it's a split pot.

Omg its Chris Hansen.
