[QUOTE="BLieve, post: 1308510, member: 54980"]
For as long as I remember I thought of course there is a kicker but I had run into at least 2 instances on Ultimatebet Sit N Gos where the pot was split for 2 pairs and one player had a higher kicker. Has this happened to anyone else? And what are the rules when it comes to kickers? Don't they always apply down to the 5th and final card whether the hands are ace high trips or 2 pairs?

Also another thing I am unsure about are flush kickers. Lets say the board is all hearts.

Player 1 has a 9 of hearts and player 2 has a 4 of hearts. Does this pot get split or go to player 1? Thanks!

One thing you should always keep in mind is that the board also has to be considered. If the pot was split in the first scenario above that means that the highest card was on the board and played for both players. If either player held a higher card that what showed on the board they would have won the hand.

In the 2nd scenario there is a flush on the board. Any cards of the same suit in the hands of the players will play in the flush - so yes the player with the 9 of hearts would beat the player with the  of hearts.

This is a handy guide for hand rankings:
