    I'm still looking for a royal straight flush. Got one in video poker once, but I think it was rigged.
    Sleep well, and dream of large women.

        Player 1: Q(hearts), 10(hearts)
        Player 2: J(hearts), 10(9 hearts)

        Flop: A(hearts),4(hearts),5(hearts),3(spades),4(spades)

        Now, I thought it would be a split pot because both players have a nut flush. I could have sworn that it didn't matter that player 1 had the queen?
        Queen high flush beats a Jack high flush


        This thread is starting to really shock me

        Here I thought I was a GOOD poker player...but really I think that there are just some really bad players out there

            My friend got it one night when we was playing. It was his first time playing poker ever, so he didnt know if he should bet hard on it or not

                    You're still totally missing the point of kickers and how important they are in the game. May as well play 'snap' if you want to remove their value in the game.

                        Clearly I'm wrong, because I know pokerroom isn't .

                                        Opponent: Ace-8 offsuit

                                        Flop comes: 2-7-6 Then A-2 on the river and turn
                                        So Board: Reads 2-7-6-A-2

                                        Now i had the monster hand of two pair throughought the round, but on the river the bard pairs and favors my opponent.

                                        Oh well I usually dont lose in poker that much.

                                        Yup ....I hate when that happens

                                            Seems to me that Player 1 should have raised enough to push out hands like 10 4....

                                            But if he did raise, and player 2 called w/ his rags, then I guess this is a perfect example Good news/Bad news

                                                    Pots are ONLY split when the best 5 cards are IDENTICAL from all (both) players.

                                                        Uproared,

                                                        One important note I must point out to you regarding the question above. Two Players can NEVER have the "nut flush". In the example above, neither player has the nut flush. The nut flush in the example above would be the player holding the 2 of hearts / 3 of hearts. The second higher flush in the above example would be any player holding the K of hearts and any
                                                        other heart.

                                                                Actually in this example there is no "nut flush"
                                                                There is a straight flush possible, and that is the "nuts"
                                                                Then there are possible quad 4's, then pocket aces for the highest possible full house.
                                                                After the full houses the Kx of hearts would win.

                                                                In that case there is no "nut flush"
