POKER.... What is the easiest way to work out side pots in hold um???????

Answer 1

Keep the chips in front of each player.  If there is to be a side pot, then start with the all-in player and count the chips.  Pull those amounts of chips into the main pot from each remaining player.  Now you have a side pot.  

Answer 2

well you figure out how much more you( or another player) bet over the guy thats all in and multiply that by how many other players that are still in but not all in and thats your side pot

e.g.im all in for 1500 you raise my all in by 1000...thats 2500 total....you have 3 callers....so thats 4 players(including you) that are in other than my all in. so you raise me by 1000, 3 others call you so you multiply that 1000 by 4(number of players that arent all in) which is 4000 that is the side pot(which i cant win).
