Default 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.

The 2 royal flushes split the pot.

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.

No rank in suits. Same hands split the pot.

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.
