Board-quads, kicker???

speew

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:

Player	Action	Cards	Amount	Pot	Balance
pete_robo	Small blind		£0.25	£0.25	£39.19
JSpinback	Big blind		£0.50	£0.75	£12.39
	Your hole cards	K A
Black_Kite	Fold
cottlad	Raise		£2.00	£2.75	£42.50
BENDOG40	Fold
speew	Raise		£6.50	£9.25	£40.52
pete_robo	Fold
JSpinback	Fold
cottlad	All-in		£42.50	£51.75	£0.00
speew	All-in		£40.52	£92.27	£0.00
speew	Unmatched bet		£2.52	£89.75	£2.52
cottlad	Show	J J
speew	Show	K A
Flop
		5 5 5
Turn
		A
River
		5
cottlad	Win	Four 5s	£43.98		£43.98
speew	Win	Four 5s	£43.97		£46.49

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.

In fairness your complaining when you got really lucky this hand, but as nosey said opponent had ace kicker aswell as was on the board

DOHHHHHHH

You cannot be serious speew????

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?

Cottlad gets so lucky to hit that Ace - he is a luckbox innit

DOHHHHHHH

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

DOHHHHHHH
