Heres the situation

Player 1: K8
Player 2: Q7

Board: A 10 9 J 3

Is it a split pot because of the ace on the board? or player #1 wins it with his K ?

Player 1 will win as he is holding high card K where as player 2 is holding high card Q.

The K kicker gets it.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if you didn't know that you shouldn't be playing, but on a good note you are here at CardsChat where I'm sure you will learn quickly.

Agree with Zorba...
Grind them freerolls man, if you need google has some good advice IE poker hand s and their values maybe a good search.

Beyond that, when your game gets to a level that you have a conceptualization of EV and PO and IO and approaching ICM there are lots of experienced people here to help you move up and on.

That is highest kicker taking the pot.

K beats Q. That is why kicker is so important.

Player #1 has a K and player #2 has a Q.
K>Q, so player #1 will win because he has a high kicker.
A pot is split when the player's hands have the same power.

No, not a split pot. They both have squat. Player #1 has K high, player #2 has Q high. The only way player #2 would win is if he hit a flush.

oh, also, the only way that hand would be a split pot is if the board flushed and neither player had a suit, like if it was all spades and the players didnt have a spade, then its split cause they both made a flush.
