If you use the best five card rule, it is easy to see that this is a Here is a similar situation, which results in a tie: That Player 1 would win, but that is wrong.

Were to walk through all the cards in order you might mistakenly think You have to be careful how you interpret Radu's answer here. I'll give some examples to make the five card comparison concept clearer:įor example, consider this situation where both players tie with junk: Obviously when comparing straights, we only need to compare the top card, since we know the rank of all five cards in the straight when we are told the rank of the top card, and I'm sure you're aware that we consider the top card in the straight (or straight flush) A2345 to be the 5, not the A. Impossible in Hold'em since the board requires three cards of one suit Two flushes of different suits, but with the same card ranks, results in a tie, however that is very rare in all game variants and The suit of the cards is irrelevant in all hands except flushes and straight flushes (including royal). That's the only rule you need to know, and it implies things like one pair hands have three kickers, while two pair hands and quads have one kicker. The simplest way to do this is to always think of the best five card hand each player can make. So your real question might be, how to tell which hand is better between two hands which are close in value. When in comes to the hands themselves, there is no such thing as a tie Tournament when two or more players are eliminated in the same hand of With the most chips at the start of a hand ranks higher in a When I hear tie breaker in poker, I think of the rule where the player (let's say in Texas hold'em game) Who wins? The one with the highest card in his hands? For example if I have Ace, K, J, 10 and 9 in the same suit while the other player has Ace,J,10,8,7 I win or is it a tie? If we both had A,K,J,10 and I have a 9 and he has an 8? Who wins in this case? Is it based on the suit? At what position does each suit rank? Two people have a Royal Straight Flush.To Straight Flush, the suit of the final number? or something else? Two straights both ending at the same number.Which wins here? The kicker or is it based on the suits?
