goodday sirs! i would just like to ask you guys sumthin coz im a newbie in playing texas hold em.....
heres the situation...if i have an ace and an 8 and my opponent has an ace and a 2 and the community cards are an ace,king,queen,jack and 9. both of us dont have a flush draw or a straight but we both have a pair of ace....would the 8 win over the 2 as the kicker? or would it be a split pot?
my opponent told me its a split pot coz we would use the king as kicker and bec the community cards are higher than both of our cards....he told me it would be a split. is it true? and can you guys give me a website where we can go to. thanks!!!!
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Yeah, it's a split. Both of you have AAKQJ. Unused cards aren't kickers.

look to your left. there's a link for "hold em rules".
Also check out the FAQ in the beginners section of this forum.

Read the big, pinned/stickied thread at the top of the forum labled "DO NOT POST FOR THE FIRST TIME UNTIL YOU READ THIS"

the kings do not count as kickers, kickers are used only when u have the same rank of cards except the opponent has a higher card basically what i mean is if u had A 9 and ur opponent had A 5 and the board was A4K28 u would win because ur hand is AAK98 and his hand is AAK85 ur "9" would be the kciker

bleh... i see we're starting to go down this path here at THP. snooty remarks to newbies. i hope we don't go far down this road... i've seen it many many times and it is never good for the forum as a while.
(this isn't just directed at you JC... more of a general statement based on your post).

Actually, snooty remarks to perceived male newbies, and polite responses to perceived female newbies. Compare to this:

Just my observation is all.

We could always just stop responding altogether to these posts. There are so many threads and sticky posts that I don't blame anyone for getting a little snippy when answering the same question for the umpteenth time.

Org is just trying to continue his long running fued with Johnny. Nothing more, nothing less.

actually zino... though you seem to have fancied trashing me today, had you READ my post you'd have seen that i specifically said that it wasn't directed, specifically, at jc.
his was just the last of a number of similar ones by OTHER posters that i read and so i decided to comment.
thanks though.
i'm with sean... just don't respond. that is unless you want to drive the new kids away and be stuck only with those folks who are here now. jmho though.
it's not that there's anything wrong with this thread specifically... it's just that i've been on enough forums to see where this slippery slope leads... and it's not pretty.
