The kicker in a flush- I NEED AN ANSWER ASAP PLEASE thank u

I was just wondering if the kicker matters in a flush, heres the situation:

kid 1: Kd 9d

Kid 2: 10d 7d

community: Ad 8d 3d 9h 2c

since they both have an Ace high flush, do they split? or do they go to the kicker in which this case Kid 1 would win?

You have to play the best 5 cards you can.

Kid one's hand is

Kid two's hand is

So Kid one has a higher (better) flush, and he wins

The term kicker is misleading in this case. The cards they hold are both used in making the hand. In another situation:

Player 1 has
Player 2 has

Board is

Player one's hand is
Player two's hand is

Player two would win because he has the best hand either of them can make.

If we change the board by one card though...


Now...
player one's hand is
player two's hand is

They both hold hands of the same value and they will split the pot.

I signed up here to ask this very question...

I think your answer is wrong, the Ace plays and a flush is simply five cards of the same suit, if there is an Ace on the board then you have a flush to the Ace, it doesn't matter what's in between, at least, that's how i play. Am i wrong?

You are wrong.

The rules specifically state "best 5 card hand."

Not the best name for a 5 card hand. (But I have a flush, ace high! Me too!)

Curt, but correct.

So let me get this straight, in the flush example they split the pot or does the other win that has AKflush?

The AK flush wins

Best five card hand.

Pretend like they were all different suits.

AK983 would beat AT873.

I just wasn't sure how that worked with a flush, good to know.

Just to clarify what if:

Player a: K,5,4,8,2
Player b: Q,J,4,8,2

All same suit, player a would win correct?

yes player A would win becuase he has a King high flush; player B has a queen high flush.

And to the first answer Kid 1 wins.
