you both have the same hand kickers do not play with straights. it can only be the best five cards playing the kickers makes it a six card hand and that is not at all how it works, top five cards to make the bext hand. you are both playing the same straight with the five. so the pot must be split. try not to over think these hands it is simple once you have a five card hand, it is done.

  • I was once surprised playng Pia Gow poker, when my King high straight, lost to the dealers wheel, the dealer saying that the Ace played, I called BS and had a pit floorperson over. and was ruled against.
