Asuming that two players have high card X, but one has a higher kicker, why sometimes I tie a pot with a best kicker than other player, and sometimes I win it in total, for example in the case of a straight or similar.
Thank you |

because of the board you kicker doesn't play.
Say both players have A. One has A4 the other A8. If the board comes 910JAk. Your 8 won't play and the pot will be split. |

The rule is each player takes their 2 hole cards and the 5 board cards and makes the best possible 5-card hand with those. The best 5-card hand wins: ties split the pot. If you split the pot with a 'better kicker' in your hand, that kicker was not part of your best 5-card hand given the board cards.
Hope this helps, The Wolf |

Always best 5 cards, can involve both, 1, or neither of your hole cards.
Several examples You: AA Opponent: KK Board : 3 4 5 6 7 Winner - TIE (both have straight 3-7) You: AK Opponent: A3 Board: 7 7 6 6 5 Winner - TIE (both have 2 pair with ace kicker). You: AJ Opponent: AT Board: A 2 4 5 9 Winner - YOU (your best five A A J 5 4, opponent best five A A T 9 5, your J trumps his T). You: 34 Opponet: 28 Board: Q 3 Q 3 Q Winner - TIE (best 5 fullhouse is on board, the 3 in your hand is meaningless). |
