Texas hold'em split pot?

Question

me n my buddies were playing poker

I had less chips than my buddy n we went all in

we both got straights n it became a split pot

How do u split pot it when my friend has

1000chips n went all in first and me with 500chips n went all in after him?

Answer 1

Even though you both went "all in", he only has to match what you put in - which is the 500 chips.  So, if you split with the same hand, you would split the pot evenly, but his extra 500 would not have had to go into the pot.

Answer 2

the easiest way is to do it is have your friend withdraw the ammount he had you covered by and then split the pot...or if it was just the blinds yall split them...for the one who said buddy should have just put that amount all in there is no way of knowing if others were to act our not with the info giving, he might have been trying to isolate.

Answer 3

Hi dude,

Its a mistake on your buddys side. When your buddy went all in he should have counted how many chip you have and put you "all in" not himself.

Answer 4

Your friend has you covered, so you both only put 500 each in the pot. You can never lose or gain more money then what you have on the table. So you should both should have split the pot for 500 each.

Answer 5

Get a life $$$$$ IS ALL YOU THINK ABOUT RIGHT!!!!

Answer 6

Well the pot is actually 1000 dollars, so you guys both get 500 back.
