The best 5 card hand wins and both players have AAJ98 so the pocket 5 kicker is irrelevant

No offense but if you didn't know that Texas Holdem is based on the best five card hand using the cards your dealt the flop,turn and river in my opinion you should study poker a little more, read more about the basics.

Once i played live super low stake home game and the best hand was 9 high straight on board and one of the players thought that he won because he had K kicker, this things happens to people sometime, doesnt mean that they dont know the rules of poker

I made that mistake once lol.

I was wandering why my highest kicker did not win when I lost to a highest kicker before.

I replied to pokerstars saying I felt cheated, even though I knew the best 5 card wins the pot. When they explained I felt soooo stupid and even replied to them how stupid I felt :D They replied that many people make that mistake hehe.

Phew, I am not the only dumbo in town :D

You read the hand backwards or didn't include the board when you read it. Reading the hand backwards is the right way in Razz.

Lmao luckily for me I'm not the only one! Think I've played against you before on fulltilt?

Thanks everyone that has cleared it up for me and as for the person who said I need to learn more, that is exactly what I'm doing is it not?

They both had AAJ98. The pocket 5 didn't matter. You have to do your best 5 card hand , so you can use each card makes your hand stronger even if it's in your hand or it's a common card.
