    Default Rules question

    I just realized I am confused about a rule. . .

    Board is all clubs, K high. I have AK diamonds. If the other guy had a club, does that outkick any no-club hand, or does he need the A clubs to outkick the K?

    Actually thinking about this, I think it goes all the way down, so if the club he has is higher than any of the board clubs he wins, but if he had like the 2 of clubs he wouldn't. Is that right?

    Just wondering if i gave away a pot that would have split.

    Assuming you are talking hold'em, each player at showdown takes the 5 best cards to make their hand. If the board is all clubs, and no one holds a club higher then that of the board, then it's split.

    Hand 1
    board is KcQc9c8c5c
    You have AhKh opp has ThTs opp2 has 4c3d
    pot is split

    Hand 2
    board is KcQc9c8c5c
    You have AhKh opp has ThTc opp2 has Jc3d
    opp2 wins

    That's the easiest way to think about it. Since you don't have a club then you're screwed unless his club is lower than all the clubs on board...
