Just a few days ago, I played poker with some of my friends. I remember we had 3 players who had a 10 in their pocket card and the community gave them the same straight. By the way, the straight was with the one card from their pocket hand.
One of my friends argued to use the 6th card and eventually get the highest. But remaining of my friends said the pot was to be split.
Then, one asked about using the highest ranking suit on the 10. In your opinion, based on your experience, do you think ranking of suits is possible in Holdem? Response will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Collin,
In Texas Holdem, when multiple players have the same hand, the pot is split. Suits are not used to break ties in holdem. In fact, the only game where suits become relevant is Seven Card Stud. In Stud, the lowest card has to make a forced bet known as a bring-in. If there are two cards of equal rank, then the lowest suit brings it in. Suit rankings are alphabetical. Suit rankings from lowest to highest is clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.
