When do kickers come into play?
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

Alot!
An example:
You have A7o. The flop comes AJ5. Theres some betting, and it gets down to you and one other player. The flop shows a 4. More betting, etc. Finally, a Ten comes.
So, the board is AJ54T. If you're playing a full ring game with tight players, and one of these guys has been calling and reraising your raises, you're cooked. Lets say he shows AQ. His best had is AAQJT, while your best hand is only AAJT7. So the other player is said to have aces, queen kicker, while you only have aces, jack kicker.
Kickers are just the next largest card for your pair, two pair, three of a kind, or four of a kind. They are the cards you use to break a tie, essentially.
Hope that helps.
