When playing poker, you will encounter the phrase “kicker” and the idea of the kicker at least once. A kicker is a card that may break ties when two or more players have identically strong hands. This book is for everyone who has ever wondered what a kicker is in poker.

If two or more of your opponents finish a hand with the same hand strength, their kicker (the highest card in their hand that is not part of a formed hand) will be utilized to decide the winner. Let us demonstrate how kicker works in Texas Hold’em.

For instance, if there are no K♠ T♥ 8♣ 5♥ 2♦ cards on the board, two players will have the K♣ Q♣ and K♦ J♥ in their hands. Both players are holding kings in their hands. However, the player holding K♣ Q♣ will win the present pot because to his superior kicker, the Q♣. If both players have identical hand strength and kickers (an exceedingly unusual but still feasible occurrence), the winner will be determined by the next-highest card played from the player’s hand.
