The board is 5 community cards. All players use them plus the 2 you have in your hand. Best 5 card hand out of those 7.

I've been saying forever now that they need to do this for golf kinda like the old Skins Game. Have PGA guys put up their own $$ & play Wolf with auto presses.

Ahh ok. I was wondering if there were “ties” in poker lol
There are. If a flush wouldn't have come they would have "chopped" the pot, i.e., tie in this case.

There is always one guy in a poker room that if someone just gets lucky on a big hand where they played something that was unorthodox and end up winning a big pot, that guy will get in his feelings and be big mad.
Some of those guys take poker wayyyyyyy too serious
What does this have to do with the hand in the video?

It is kind of funny that the guy that asked to chop the pot ended up winning the hand at the end.
You can't chop in a tournament, and he knew that. It was just playful banter.

Not in texas hold em. I think the announcer was just joking about Ace of Spades being the best. Otherwise, the win percentages wouldn't have started off exactly the same.

You think they take this serious, you oughta try playing spades in the lunch tent with a concrete crew on a turnaround.

The average golf viewer has no idea what Wolf is

right. i said this right after.
there aren't many games where the suit actually matters.
if i remember correctly it's low to high alphabetically where it applies?
club (lowest,) diamond, heart, spades (highest)

Pair of Ace Diamond/Spade is the same as pair of Ace Clubs/Hearts.
even then, in regular hold 'em, they would just go to the second best card in each players hand I think.

It would take all of about 30 seconds to explain.

Oddly, I’ve seen that happen twice in home games.

A close friend who I played ball with for years has played in the WSOP main event for I believe 15 years running. Best finish was 43rd out of 7200 entries. Cashed for 43,000 . But he has some of the worst smelling gas imaginable. So at the fark board I requested for someone to enhance his picture. Forget who it was but they came thru incredibly.

The Vietnamese play a game they call "pig" in the states where the hierarchy goes, high to low, hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades

Bridge and Spades are the only games I know where they suits have rankings (just spades for Spades)
Both players had pocket aces. All the other cards would be shared. Hence, it is sort of “high card wins” in as much they both have pocket aces. The announcers said Ace of Spades is the highest ace.

That kind of shite happens all the time in online games where they engineer big hands while claiming they don’t. They all do it

He was joking when he said that. There is no “highest ace” in Texas Hold ‘Em. There was also no royal flush involved, as was mentioned somewhere. There were four hearts on the board which created a flush for the guy holding the ace of hearts. Off the top of my head, a flush is the only hand that keeps that from being a chopped pot.

If it can happen, it will happen.
That is a tough one.
one time at what is now Ceasars in New Orleans.. And this was years ago, Me and the person I was with was playing a cash game at the same table. There were some other guys and then this Chinaman came sit down with a huge stack of chips and he was calling all in every hand and the first 3 or 4 times no one called him so he was just collecting antes. The next time I called him and one, the next hand I called and one again, about 2 hands later I called and won again. It was four hands I called and won... And he got pissed because I was calling him. By that time he was down.. But he picked all his chips and jumped to the next table.
A few hands later I had pocket aces. The flop comes out and its a king and two low cards all different suits. This guy raises and I called. He was either holding a pair of Kings to make 3 kings are hand a king with a pair. The turn comes and I forget what it was, but whatever suit it was, there were now two of those suits on the board. It would have been dumb for him to chase or at worse he had a pair of kings. He goes all in, I king comes out on the river. He was holding a king and he had 3 kings. It was a nice pot too..
Dude came apologize to me and wanted to give me $100 for some reason. I refused and told him there was absolutely no need to apologize and never feel bad about winning a hand, but ive played in low money and got pocket aces several times and I am pretty sure I lost a few of them. In low money games I will slow play it if I have a good hand but that river will drown you if you give her the chance,
