Hi I have been studying some of the examples of kickers at my left poker menu but still I'm confused about some examples. I hope you can help me.

1.- P1 _Jc_ 3c P2 _Kd_ 3d
community 7h 5h 4h 2h 1h 1.- Who wins P1 or P2

2.- P1 _3s_ 2h P2 _2s_ 2c
community 10s 8s 6s 5s 4s 2.- Who wins P1 or P2

3.- P1 Ks _9s_ P2 Qs _9d_
community 9h 8c 7c 6s 5d 3.- Who wins P1 or P2

4.- I understand that having the exact same cards as in
P1 7h 6s P2 7c 6d
community 5s 4h 3h 2s 1c the pot is splitted.
But can you give another example when you split the pot?
Other than having the exact same cards. I will thank you a lot.

Hi Jorge,

I'll answer your question in a couple of hours time. Gets pretty frantic around here with the freeroll in 30 mins time....

ok winners as follows:

1) Split Pot - best 5 of 7 is the hearts flush on the board

2) Split Pot - best 5 of 7 is the spades flush on the board. We do not ever look to cards 6 and 7.

3) Split Pot - best 5 of 7 is the straight on the board. If one player had held a 10 this would not be a split pot.

4) Well - the 3 you mention. Its not about the 2 cards you hold. You can tie a pot if you hold the same cards but there are many other instances where a pot would be split and it all boils down to who has the best 5. Take a board with KKKK10 and P1 holds 86 and player 2 93. That would be split. If player 2 had J3 then it would be player 2's pot with KKKKJ over KKKK10 (player 1 plays the board which is higher than any of his cards but still loses)

Confusion often exists with Flushes particularly where both parties have say a King high flush. Flushes are ranked by the cards within starting with the highest and working down from there. A flush will only ever be a split pot if it is on the board and no player has a higher suited card.

Hope that helps.
