Hey,

I was wondering whats the deal with kicker not mattering in NLHE cash games when the board is quads.
I have played on alot of sites and kicker does matter everywhere else. Also im pretty sure that it's in the hold'em rules too. Heres the hand:
PlayerActionCardsAmountPotBalance
pete_robo Small blind   £0.25 £0.25 £39.19

    That's a split because you're both playing the board - the four 5's plus the board's A kicker. Say if a 10 had come instead of the A then you'd win the hand, because you have an A kicker in your hand which is better than cottlad's J kicker.

    You've been crushing the lower/mid stakes since you appeared on sky out of nowhere about a week ago....

    And you don't even know the rules???

    Is this a wind up?

    Yeh drawing dead to 3 outs on the river for a split is a pretty grim situation to be in! lol

    Cottlad always knew the 5 was coming on the river, just can't believe he got so lucky with the A!!

    JJ, this thread is a wind up, must be if what you wrote about him to be true
