Question about splitting the pot |
|

While playing on a short stack I had to split the pot with 2 other players. There was an odd amount of chips in the pot so when we split it, there where 2 exta chips left between the three of us. I was kinda dissapointed when it was decided that they would stay in the middle for the next pot. Im not cheap or anything, I was just wondering if that was the real way to split an odd pot.
Thanx

Yeah a lot of places you play do it that way. I myself would like to see the pot scraped but what can they do when three people try to split an uneven amount.

My knowledge only comes from watching WTP on Travel Channel, but they said uneven chip goes to the person closest to the button. So I guess in a three way pot the furthest from the button would not get a chip.

thats how the casino i go to does it too. Ive never seen a three way split though, but i assume it would be furthest from the button does not get it.

Closest to the button clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Lets say Player A goes All-In at 1$ (Main Pot) with a Boat, Player B calls the All-In bet 1$( Main Pot) then raises 1$ (Side Pot) with a flush, Player C calls the All-In Bet 1$ (Main Pot) and calls the raise 1$ (side Pot) with two pair.
Player A would Win the Main Pot because he/she has the best hand. But the side Pot is between Palyer B and C because Player A is no longer able to bet since he went all-in. So Player B wins the side pot with a flush.
This is how it is in Seven Stud in the casinos anyway. I believe Hold Em is the same way.

In tournament play I believe they only take the lowets all in bet and all betting stops. I dont think there is three way play in the tournaments.

I think you're misunderstanding the question Erock. In the OP's scenario, all three players have hands of equal strength, put can't split the pot evenly.

The way we play, (And I don't know if this is right) Odd chips go to the live player to the dealers left.

no i dont think this is the case?
say player A is shortstacked and decides to raise all in, player B has AK and decides to make a substantial raise, player C has AA and re-raises.
player A's bet is matched by B & C in the main pot and players B & C then compete between those 2 players only in a side pot.
