Ties

[Rancid_Outlaw]

What happens of two players have the same hand?

eg: P1 has 2&3 of diamonds and P2 has 6&7 of diamonds
the community cards reveal Ace(Diamonds) Jack(Diamonds) 5(Spades) 10(diamonds) 9(Clubs)

Who is declared winner and how is the winner in a situation like this determined?

Higher flush. Hence the 6 7 is higher then the 2 3. Therefor making it a

Player one: A,J,10,2,3

Player two: A,J,10,7,6

Player 2 wins. Best 5 card hand plays......

however.... in an ACTUAL tie... it becomes a split pot. doesn't matter how many players tie... 2, 3, 4.... the pot is split equally amongst them.

:D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only hands that can actually tie (between two players) is a Three of a Kind and a Four of a Kind... Anything else, & the pot would split if all cards in each hand are ranked the same.

no almost any type of hand can be split a pot for example when nobody can beat the board it will become a split pot or when two players have an identical straight or pair with the board serving as their kickers

Yeah, its the best hand period, so if I had qT in my hand and somone had qj and the flop came qaak2 we would have identical aaqqk hands. - cause the table has a better avail. kicker then either of the pockets. . .
