Ranking Of Texas Holdem Starting Hands
Tie-breakers and Kickers
When multiple players have the same poker hands, the extra cards come in to play. These extra cards are called 'kickers'. The player with the higher kicker will take the pot when this happens.
Texas Hold'em Example:
This means the players' final five card poker hands are:
Both players have a pair of kings, but the winner of the pot is Player B because he has Player A 'out-kicked'.
In a high card or one pair hand tie-breaker, both players can sometimes have the same kicker. In this case the second kicker is used, and then the third, and so on. If both players’ best five card poker hands are identical, then they share the pot equally.
Now, let's talk about starting hands in Texas Hold'em.
