when playing poker, when does a kicker come into play? what are some examples of hands when a kicker would be used,and not be used? is there a universal or standard kicker rule? when im playing a hand how can i know if it will matter if i have a low kicker?
 
There are too many types of poker to give an example. You have to mentions specific games. Kickers come into play in almost all types, though. Simple example from Texas Holdem:
You have A4 and the board comes something like A39. You bet and someone raises. Chances are they not only have an Ace, they also have a higher second card or kicker. Playing weak second cards is one of the worst things you can do in HoldEm.
