This one you see pretty often on line. Always same poker league in a regular tournament. I have AK and one player shoved alli in and i called Showing cards we have both AK so i said split pot the other guy said mine are suited and your are not he had AH of hearth. I was pretty far from the dealer and was looking the cards it the table there was four red cards but in diamond and i had ace of diamond. When you are on the good side its very funny but i lost a lot of hands like this and make me very mad.

These type of hands are always pretty sick to take when it happens to you. The amount of times i have lost to a four card flush when being miles in front is unreal and they still hurt. Always nice when its vice versa though!!

Not sure why but i noticed that red cards almost every time win in this type of situations, i both won and lost in similar situations(same hands but with different suits)...
Well i guess in the end this makes part of the variance of the poker game, so your decision was good when you draw the line

Sometimes I wish I had a split pot rather than losing one stack, the best scenario would be in an all in situation is to win the other person stack and the worst case scenario is to lose it. In between a split pot is fine by me, because it lets you live to fight another day with that buy in . Anyway good luck at the tables and keep playing a lot, the more volume you play the more split pot you will encounter and you will see it as a common thing!
