Who wins? (2 Viewers)

[isthisevencreative]

If two players have the same pair who wins? Both players have a pair of 6’s for example?

both Players have pocket 6's?

And what about a flush…if both have the same numbers and are a flush is there a suit that beats another suit?

Yes

It’s typically the best five cards. No matter how many you are playing with look at the two five card hands that can be made with their cards. Best one wins.
Flush is highest of the five card hands . If that’s tied go to next highest, etc

But make the five card hands first, then compare the values.

This would not be possible in community card games, such as hold'em and Omaha. But this could happen in stud or draw games. If they have the same 5 card flush, the pot would be chopped.

This would result in a cage match, and only one can leave

Total n00b with these games - but aren't suits ranked ? (low to high)

True, but that wouldn't apply to poker hand rankings. Suits do factor in when determining high or low card for bring in in stud/razz.

So if a person has 23456 of diamonds and the other player has 23456 of hearts who wins?

Feels bad when your door card is a in Stud, until someone else's is the !

It’s a split pot

Chop, as you quoted @Beakertwang saying.

They would split the pot.

They would split the pot.

I like cage match better

 

[LowerBama1714]

Yah…why is this a question? Weird.

This isn’t Nam. This is poker. There are rules.

No it’s not, I’m trying to learn

the internet is a fantastic resource.

I think suits would only matter for a game like stud if both players have the same straight or flush

Suits never determine a winner of a hand in stud / draw variants of you have “identical “ hands (same pair, same straight, same flush). It’s always the best 5 card card by ranking/top value card. As mentioned earlier, they only matter for bring in, and go in reverse alphabetical order (spade, heart, diamond, club)

Yep so is PCF sometimes people can explain things better on here than a video…sometimes not

Not even then.

Edit: Personally, for assigning the dealer button, we usually do a redraw if highest card ties, unless it's an ace, then it's first-ace wins (we spread the cards and people pick and flip a card, rather than dealing them out to determine button). And for splitting a pot, if high-low then the high hand gets the odd chip, otherwise it's first player after the button.

Oh ok Interesting
I thought I’d seen once it could break ties for example two hands are a A-5 straight

Still vote for this

I’m surprised that they say you can assign the odd chip in a split pot based on suits. I’ve always played that it goes to the player in the worse position.

Random side question on splitting a pot. If a hi/lo game, and one "end" has a tied hand so the pot gets quartered, if there's an odd chip from the quartering, does that go to one of the two players involved in the tied hand (I'm avoiding the word "chop" since that can also describe the hi/lo split) to be determined however it's agreed upon (worst position, etc.), or could the odd chip go to the player who won the other "end" so that the quartered split is even?

(The extra chip is usually the lowest denom on the table, so it's not a big deal either way, but just curious what people's thoughts are.)

That happens in O8 - people chopping low with nut low. The odd chip goes to whichever of the lows is in worst position. I can’t ever imagine tossing that chip to the high.
Obviously if the main pot can’t be split in half evenly, the odd chip goes to the high side. But once it’s split, then you split it again between only the winners of that end.
