Message: [QUOTE="JohnBoyWWFC, post: 1600556, member: 64488"] OK, so your post is a little confusing but I'll try my best to answer. Say for example the board is as you said 4 6 8 A T all spades. If one player has Js and another has Qs the best 5 they have is AQT86 and AJT86 so you can see the former is better. If one of them held the 3 and the other the 2, then they would both have AT864 as the best 5 cards on board. In your first example, yes they both have A high flushes, but it's not just A high, it then goes to the 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th spade if it comes into play, if the board is 58KA2 all spades and I hold the 3 of spades but my opponent has none then my AK853 beats his AK852. In your third example, I'm assuming you're saying if AJ v AQ and the board is AKXXX lets say AK234, then the hands are AAKQ4 v AAKJ4 so you can see the Q comes into play. If they had A3 v A4 and the board was AKT67 then they both have AAKT7 so the 3 and 4 don't come into play. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
