Earlier today blinds 600/1200 a player in MP limped AKs with 10BB's I pushed from the BB with AKs myself and busted him. Some players have no idea how to play its amazing they get so deep into tournaments

That's the last time I'm calling a min-raise out of the bb. I was pot committed baby! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I personally prefer it when the donk has a pair under the quads/two pair and busts.

I'd put a tag in that's donk's ear like he lived in a zoo, so I could just follow him from table to table. $250 Rebuy, huh? that's good news to me as I try to make my way up to those stakes.

something i don't understand, though. why did they split? should it come down to the kicker?

I'm also wondering, why did they split?

kickers dont matter with quads.

then why would Hero fold.. something's wierd.. kickers definitely do count.. i remember quads coming on the board on a WPT final table.. the one with the 'apprentice'...

anyone care to explain?

here's a link to the stars hand rankings where it says:

"Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, and one side card.

In the event of a tie: Highest four of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same four of a kind, the highest fifth side card ("kicker") wins."

i'll check empire now too.

wtf? apparently kickers don't matter when you have quads when playing on party and empire!

check this out, from the Empire hand rankings page :

their definition of 2 pair:
"Two Pair:
If two players have two pair, the hand with the highest pair wins. If they have the same high pair, whoever has the second highest pair wins. If they have the same two pair, whoever has the highest fifth card ("kicker") wins."

however, there is nothing about kickers when they describe quads:
"Four of a Kind:
Four cards of the same number or face value ("quads")."

very surprising, because i didn't realize that there were differences between the rankings of different sites.

good to know. next time the board shows quads, i'll push on a party skin table.
