| I have played a couple of "tournaments" with my friends. I lost a couple of rounds because my kicker wasn't enough. I had a 9 and 3(all the cards were unsuited). The person I lost to had a 9 and 6. The board was 9 2 7 10 7 . Since I had a 3 and the other guy won. My questions: (1)Wouldn't we both have two pair of 9s over 7s with a 10 kicker and tie? I couldn't use the board cards for kickers. (2) Aren't only 5 cards used(i.e. you don't use a 6th or 7th card to tie brake)? (3) Is there a world federation of poker where I can print off or buy the official rules of Texas Hold'em? | ||

| I believe you would have had a split pot - rules dictate that the cards speak and the best hand would have been 9977T - which you both had. Pros - am I right? | ||

| Yes, it is a split pot. The ten is higher than both of your kickers, so the ten plays. The best five cards win. | ||

| you should have split the pot... The best 5 card hand wins. regardless of how many are used in your hand. Say if you hold AA's and your opponent has KK's. and the board is 2,3,4,5,6 offsuit. the pot is split. | ||

| This is from Ultimate Bet, granted it is no governing board of poker, but it should be enough to set your friends straight: "The player who can assemble the best five-card hand, out of the seven possible (the two in their hands and the five in the middle) wins the pot. The players can thus use two, one, or none of their "private" first two cards. Although it is unusual to use none of one's private cards, it is possible, if the five cards on the board form a strong hand such as a straight, flush, or full house. If, for example, two players remained in the hand at the end, one of whose private cards were two kings (K-K), and one of whose private cards were two aces (A-A), and the board was 5-6-7-8-9, the players would split the pot, because each has exactly the same nine-high straight. Before the river card, the player with the two aces had a very large advantage, but the concluding nine cost him half the pot (as would have a concluding Four, which also would have put a straight on the board)." http://www.ultimatebet.com/games/texas_holdem.html on 25.

| (1) Yes. You got ripped off. (2) Yes. (3) I don't think it's so much a federation. You could go back to a number of books as references to how the game is played and I'm sure that there are rule books out there, but I don't think we've got anything like a poker governing body. Probably the best authority would be anything put out by the Nevada Gaming comission. Because poker is just coming into its own, there are still disparate rules on many of the minutiae ... though in this case, the rules are clear. You always make a 5 card hand and your kicker can be on the board and hands that tie chop the pot (and the extra chip, if odd, goes to the player who started in earliest position. | ||

| In any Texas Holdem game, the best five (not seven) cards rule; so in your case, it is a chopped-pot (tie) with 2-pair and a T-kicker each. There are many places you can find rules that will establish this online, and in books, but you might try showing your friends the responses to this post. This is the most respected poker forum on the Internet. -Moz "You can see your reflection in the luminescent dash." | ||
