There have been several posts already here explaining how to compute side-pots (note that the subject of penalty blinds has not been dealt with but that is another topic). Here's one such topic: How are side pots built? Question. Is the ratio against the total pot... or the other winners? Is this correct? Get a ratio compared to others? The ...

Side pots develop from the fact that players can only win a maximum of the amount that they wagered from each of the players who call them. Thus any wagers above that amount are placed in a separate pot which is competed for by everyone except for the all-in player. As to your specific questions: The amounts in the main pot or in the sidepot are not based ...

you can only win a pot that you are in you cannot win anything if you fold before the showdown the player in each pot with the best hand wins that pot if a pot is tied that pot is split between the tied players

If you fold for what ever reason before the hand is finished you forfeit your right to compete for any pot on the table. That is simply one of the rules of the game. So, that is where strategy comes in to play. If there are three players in a hand with one of them all in, I always try to bet the remaining player out of the hand. That way I am only ...

there is a very clear rule regarding pots and side pots: you can earn according to the chips you risk. Lets assume that the chips you put in the middle are no longer yours... in the scenario above villain1 risk 45$ (40$ as an ante and 5$ as the big blind). If villain1 was the winner, he would have won 335$ (8*40 of the ante and 3*5$ from the pot). ...

I liked your question and will try answer it from a different angle. Basically we all agree that when a player fold his/her hand, he/she cannot win any pot. BUT, one of the major concepts of the game is that one can only win according to what he/she risks. That's why there are side pots, and I think that's why the question was asked - if a player risk ...

Coding sidepot management from "sidepot rules" is not very easy. Having done this myself, I'll give a general algorithm in two phases. This approach doesn't care about pot sizes, so any overlay to the pot, such as penalty blinds, is irrelevant. You will also be able to rake sidepots in proper sequence if you need to. Manage Sidepots Manage the sidepots at ...

I agree with the other fine answers, but I want to add something regarding the "uncalled bet". As far as I know the rules states that uncalled bet aren't part of any pot. But in practice, players may be surprised should they open the hand histories from some sites... First I'd like to point out that, in the end, the results are exactly the same (so I'm ...

Me (140$) You (100$) Jon Doe(33$) First what need to be said is that you can't win more then you bet times the number of players who call you. That being said let see what happens if we all go all-in. Jon Doe has 33$ and can get "only" 33 from each of us. This forms the MAIN POT of 3 * 33 = 99$ Now you have 67$ left and I have 107$. Because we are all in ...

You are entitled to win only as much as you put in times the number of players who match your bet. Building side pots as each player goes all in looks like this: Everyone antes and the pot is now 8*40 = 320 villain1 bets 5 and is all-in which starts the first side pot. villain6 raises 1606 to 1611 putting 5 in the first side pot and 1606 in the second. ...
