Andy Bloch happened upon my previous post titled World Poker Tour and was kind enough to point out that my statement that the show did not follow a set schedule was wrong. I had picked up on this a while back, but hadn’t noted it on the site. I hope I didn’t lead anyone astray! If so, I am truly sorry.
Andy provided a link to The World Poker Tour Fan site in his signature for the comment. Man, is that site packed chock full of information and commentary! I have much to read in my copious (heh, yeah right) free time. I will find a way.

a friend told me that the suits in a deck of card have rank, with the spade being the highest. is this true? if so what are is the rank?
Some card games do assign a higher rank to a certain suit. Games such as Hearts or Spades have what are called trumps which are special cards or certain suits that are considered to have a higher rank than others. Most variants of poker that I know of do not place any rank on suits.
One note, a straight (five cards in order (8, 9, 10, Jack Queen for example) made up of the exact same suit is considered to be higher than the same straight made up of a mixture of different suits. So, a hand of 8 through Queen consisting of a couple of diamonds, a couple of spades and a heart would lose to a straight hand of 8 through Queen made up purely of clubs.

The suit’s don’t really have a “rank” in most games. The only game I am aware where it is somewhat relevant is “Sheepshead”, a game like Euchre, where the Queens and Jacks are the highest trump, and they go in order of Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds (so, Queen of Clubs is the best Trump card).
