I'm pretty sure if there are two royal flushes out in stud or 5CD the person with the highest ranking suit wins the hand.

The rankings of suits from highest to lowest are, spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

No rank in suits. Same hands split the pot.

You have it confused. When people draw cards for dealer position, the high card gets the button. If players have cards of the same rank, the cards are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.

This suit ranking typically only applies to getting the button. It does not apply to the actual strength of a poker hand.

X2...Same as two players with identical straights or flushes, two pairs with same kickers, etc.

In theory, the hands chop.

In practice, unless you are playing with a lot of wild cards, you are being cheated by someone who thinks the suits matter, and you aren't going to win any arguments. Quit.

it sould be the same as if both players had a AT742 flush, they would chop.

Re: 2 royal flushes in same hand, who wins?
 

No poker book I have ever read nor any set of rules mention suits as a factor in the ranking of a poker hand.

I have, however, heard and experienced claims for a large variety of supposed rules pulled right from the rectum to try and win a pot. They are usually called "local rules" and considering where they come from, thay're a little too local for me.

Whichever guy doesn't put a gun in his mouth because he has to chop a pot with the only royal flush he'll ever see.

Re: 2 royal flushes in same hand, who wins?
 

No rank, it's a chop

The 2 royal flushes split the pot.

split pot

Re: 2 royal flushes in same hand, who wins?
 

Suits have no rank in poker for the purpose of determining the winning hand.

Suits do have rank in poker in the following situations:

1) determing the bring-in in stud games
2) dealing for the button
3) racing off low-denomination chips in tournaments.

As far as the ranking of suits go - it's alphabetical order - from lowest to highest: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.

Kurn gave the info about when suits matter in poker.

In bridge, on the other hand, suits are of the utmost importance - it's a huge, huge part of the game.

I'm aware of this.

I was simply pointing out that there ARE card games where rank of suits are a huge part of the game (unlike poker) - bridge being an example of such a card game.
