In the description of what hand beats what from above, four of a kind is described as: Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same four of a kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the kicker) decides who wins the pot. What is meant by, "two players share the same four of a kind"? There is only four of each suit in a deck and Aces have a higher value then Kings.

If you are playing wild cards and 2 people have a royal flush. One player has only the 10 and ace and 3 wild and the other player has the 10, king and ace and 2 wilds, does one win over the other because less wilds or is it a tie?

It would go to suits for the next tiebreaker, it always goes in reverse alphabetical order S, H, D, C. Spades the strongest and clubs the weakest

While this is good information number one people really should know that already if they are members of a poker forum and number 2 that has nothing at all to do with the thread it was posted in. I also want to thank wicked kitty for taking the time and energy to put this together. I have been here awhile off and on and knew a good bit of this already but my memory kinda sucks so it is nice to have as a reference guide.

Now I know that when you 'win' a coupon in Carbon and it says "Coupon Does Not Expire"...or "No Expiration Date"..it's not totally true. Last month I won 2 tickets to the 250k games and I was waiting for a decent time to register for them. Well, the promotions ended..and so did the coupons that "did not expire." Now I know what I didn't know before!

Thank you very much! that is awesome info!
I have not been around poker world much in past year, and am now back, at least part time. I think this is a great site, but still need to learn what to do. Lots of prep/reading before I can better understand whats going on here at pokerowned.
