However, suits do not determine the winning hand in poker. In poker, there are a few occasions in which the suit rank does actually make a difference, but chances are they are not as important (or common) as you may think. Or, what if they have the same two pair, and the same kicker - would the pot be assigned to the player whose kicker has the highest suit? What if two players both have a king-high straight? Is it a split pot, or does the highest king win? And so on.īut what about suits - spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs? Do they matter at all? In poker, three of a kind beats two pair.
