Hello folks,

I was playing poker w/ buddies and a dispute broke out.

If the board has a A9k47

Player 1: Q3
Player 2: J3
Player 3: 82

The players have no pairs and no flush, is the above a split or does player 1 win due to the Queen?

I was told the rules are:

1) high card of each hand, then
2) pair
3) then 2 pair
4) then 3 of a kind and so on in texas holdem.

So I and one other player thought player 1 wins, but the third player thought its a split due to the Ace being the high community card and there is no such thing as two high cards in the "high card" rule.

Any comments?

Rank of all five cards in the best five card hand counts....

In other words, kickers always count.

lol you guys had a dispute over this? hehehe your funny =)

(high card wins)
