a buddy had a tree cut down over the weekend and dropped all the wood at my place . I'm thinking its poplar.

That is because its a far stretch from poplar to hickory. Its definitely a hickory, but which one?
Whether its stringy or easy to split is an open variable. I think the pictures above make the wood look stringy but not Elm stringy. Stringy vs brittle. An argument that can go around and around.
Ive seen the inner bark pattern before and have cut sapling hickories with that exact diamond pattern that is visible in the end grain (on Pignuts). At the bottom of the middle picture. Not the outer bark but the inner bark. Its very interesting and unusual. Or distinct, I should say.

Not sure about that. The pecan I've handled had thicker bark and was a bear to split green, but split fine after sitting up a few months.

I cut a wild one in the woods and it split great but it was pretty small and fairly straight

Copy that. But has your pecan had a dark heartwood? I haven't encountered that either.
