| BET PROBLEM (TEXAS HOLDEM) Player X is immediate next to Player N who just gave his Big Blind. Now its X's turn to give his First bet (pre flop). What possible action he can take out of following ? CHECK? CALL ? RAISE? FOLD? POT SPLIT PROBLEM (VERY URGENT) Total winning amount on the table is $24.75, and there are 2 winners to share the pot. When we divide the pot the amount computed goes into fraction value like 12.375. When we round off the value it becomes $12.38. When we retotal it it becomes $24.76. Players are getting 0.01$ extra in each such kind of game round. Kindly suggest me if there is any way out to tackle this fraction problem. Thanks in anticipation | ||

| 2 things. First, If I read your first issue correctly then the first player to act doesn't have the opetion to check. He must bet, raise, or fold (the big blind is a bet and he would need to act accordingly) For the second issue, I will ask what is the smallest denomination of chip? If its .25, then I would split it until there is a spare .25, and then do rock paper scisors for the odd chip. Arm Wrestling is also a good way. | ||

| You can handle the odd denomination chip(s) in a split pot several ways. I would favor giving the extra chip(s) to the player(s) who were in the worst position, those that had to act earliest after the flop. Alternatively you can simply award odd amounts to the higest hole card. If there's a tie there, then go to suits. Such as spade king is higher than heart - diamond - club king. | ||

| ........or throw the odd denomination chip into the next pot. Nothing creates action like dead money. on 23.

| We handle ours that way...break it down as far as possible, then give the extra chip(s), to the one closest to button. | ||

Player X is UTG and has only three choices right now: Fold, Call or Raise. Check is not an option because the Blind is live. > > > > POT SPLIT PROBLEM (VERY URGENT) > Total winning amount on the table is $24.75, and there are 2 winners to share > the pot. > > When we divide the pot the amount computed goes into fraction value like > 12.375.

When a pot cannot be split evenly, the extra coin goes to the first player after the button. So, in your example, if you are using pennies, the first player after the button gets $12.38 and the later position player gets $12.37. If your smallest denomination is nickels, then your payouts are $12.40 and $12.35. If it's quarters, then $12.50 and $12.25... you get the idea. > > Thanks in anticipation > > -Moz "May your chips never fall from a cow." | ||

Call, raise, or fold. He cannot check as there is a bet to him. > POT SPLIT PROBLEM (VERY URGENT) > Total winning amount on the table is $24.75, and there are 2 winners to share > the pot. If the split is for a high-low game then the high hand gets the extra chip, so high gets 12.50 and low gets 12.25 If it is a chop on a tie, whichever player is out of position gets the extra chip. So you first give each player 12.25. Then if one of the winning players is in the small blind he gets the extra 0.25, else if one of the winning players is in the big blind he gets the extra 0.25, else if one of the winning players is ... etc. Basically it goes to the first winning player after the puck. | ||
