I dont understand why if there is a tie sometimes it uses the next highest card on teh board for the "kicker" and disregards your "hole kicker"....

But if theres a hand like 3 of a kind, even when theres a higher card on the board, it uses the hole kickers.

I just lost to 3 of a kind 8's with my kicker being 2 and opp kicker being 9, with a KING on teh board.

Othertimes I'll have the better kicker and it will split the pot because theres a higher card on the board??

I dont know its really confusing to me, and i thought I understood it, but that last hand made me think I dont.

I feel so newbie!

It's simple,

The best 5 card hand wins.

If you have:82
And I have:89

And the board is:
88K73

Your hand is:
888K7

My hand is:
888K9

I win.

If the board is:
99K3J

Your hand is:
888KJ

My hand is:
888KJ

We Tie.

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

Yea if all the cards on the board are higher then your kicker then your kicker is essentially on the board itself.
