You know if he had QT, you'd still split right?

Yeah... or QJ or QQ. It's the best 5 card hand which is 4 aces and a Q kicker.

True - suits have no bearing on the strength of a hold em hand. Must be your opponent was the first to the left of the button and he got the extra chip.

In a lot of B&M casinos, suits do matter for the extra chip. They go by the strength of bridge suits. In online casinos, this is not the case.

suits seem to be the home game rule. in all home games and NYC clubs I've played in, I think the rule is by suit, and all casinos, the traditional way, by position. don't know if that's consistent throughout the country though. it really ought to go by position. worse position actually means something. worse suit doesn't

Of course home games go by "house rules" which could mean the guy with the longest schlong gets the whole pot. I like this rule as I always win. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But just to clarify, according to "Robert's Rules of Poker" under the TIES section:
If two or more hands tie, an odd chip will be awarded as follows:

(a) In a button game, the first hand clockwise from the button gets the odd chip.

Since this was a button game I will not cite the other games.
