It would be a split pot if turn or river were any card T or higher.

An even stupider question probably, but does this hold true for flushes as well? My instinct is that if, say, both players have 2 hearts and the board ends up with 3 hearts including Ah then it's a split because it's an ace-high flush for both, but that doesn't feel correct.

Is that how it works or would it come down to whoever had the high card between the 4 hole cards in play? That doesn't quite feel right either as then a flush pot would be impossible to chop, so my first instinct was correct, right? The player with the flush's high card takes the pot, and if the flush's high card is on the board then it's a chop.

Board 1) AJ348
Player 1: K5 wins over (King "kicker")
Player 2: Q6


Board 2) AQ986
Player 1: 53
Player 2: 42
Chopped pot as board has the 5 highest hearts


Board 3) 98765
Player 1: AJ
Player 2: KQ
Chopped pot as board is a straight flush and neither player has the T that would create a higher straight flush

Even within the same class of hand, the ranks matter. Two pairs, aces and nines beats two pairs aces and eights. An ace high flush beats a king high flush. If the board has 4 of the 5 highest cards in the flush, or straight, that fifth card would sill play from the players hand.

Also, on full houses, the rank of the full house is determined by the rank of the three like ranked cards. So 88877 (or eights full of sevens) is better than 777AA (or sevens full of aces).

Another thing beginners often get wrong is aces and twos beat kings and queens. They think that somehow the combined values of kings and queens outrank the aces because twos are so low.

Also, the A in an A2345 straight is the lowest rank in the deck, not the highest

And three pairs should beat two pairs imo.

no it's not a split pot

Your kicker is bigger. You have AKK98, he has AKK97. 8 is higher than 7 so the 8 kicker wins the whole pot.
