A kicker, also called a side card, is a card in a poker hand that does not itself take part in determining the rank of the hand, but that may be used to break ties between hands of the same rank. [1] [2] For example, the hand Q-Q-10-5-2 is ranked as a pair of queens. The 10, 5, and 2 are kickers.
Players are initially dealt three hole cards, two face down, one face up. Everyone pays an ante. Four community cards are then dealt face up, each with a different value, this is called the Wall Street. Each round then starts with the player with the strongest hand showing. For example, a showing pair would beat a high card.
With two players, the round begins when the players flip one of the face-down cards in the centre simultaneously. Players must then discard their hand cards any number of cards at once, using only one hand, matching cards so that each card played is either one number above, one number below, or the same number as the two cards on top of the center stacks.
