Heres a common example you have probably seen before


Suppose you were playing holdem and you hold AQ of hearts. Your single opponet holds AQ of spades. The flop is KKK, the turn brings the case K.


Both you and your opponent have quad kings with an ace kicker. You chop the pot. The suit of your ace does not matter in determining the winner. However had you been holding QQ instead of AQ you would loose even though you were way ahead of your opponent on the flop.


So far my experiences with PokerStars has been great. The software is top notch, its the best site for tournaments, and they respond to my emails quickly. They are poised to become the dominate online poker site. In fact Paradise is scrambling to imitate some of the features found at Pokerstars. If you haven't tried them out yet, now is a good time, they have a fantastic deposit bonus going.


Just my two cents
