This might sound as a stupid question, but if i dont ask ill newer know I have been wondering for a long time now, if i have AK, the other guy has QK, and the publics are 44445. Who takes the pot? I mean, is it a split? Or is it mine, i have the best 5 cards?!
never happened to me online but in a live game or at the casino I know the ace would take the pot. it would be a hand of Quads (4's) with an ace kicker and the other guy would have a Q kicker. thats the way i play the home games and thats the way the local casino handles that situation

4 of a kind on board......who's got the ace It's the guy who has the best 5 card hand that wins which would be 4444 A. Sometimes it's the weirdest things you dont know about the game, I sometimes wonder when my opponent can see my cards when I got auto muck on....only when im all-in or ?? (ofcourse when I win at showdown)
the player that have the highest card takes the pot. in this case you win the pot because you have the ace. it's very simple 4444 and the ACE aganist 4444 and KING.

perfectly right, you have quads and you need one more card to complete the hand and whoever has the highest kicker card wins. in this case, an ace. but if the community cards are 4444A then it would be a split.
if you have A/K and the other has Q/K and the quards are out on board then you will win the pot with the better "kicker card" so you would be using 4,4,4,4,A while your oponent will be using 4,4,4,4,K
