Board question..., MEandPOKER, 7. Sep 2003 19:59
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
This may sound like a dumb question but I hope someone will help me out with the answer?

LiMIT HOLDEM TOURNEY:

The board is a Full house as follows;

J-J-J-5-5

2 players in showdown both have a pocket pair

player 1= 6-6

player 2= 7-7

Do they split the pot because the board is a Full house? or

Does player 2 get the pot with his bigger Pocket pair?

Thanks for your help!!!

Don't worry, there are no dumb questions, only dumb people.

The player with 77 wins, since his full house is better than both the other player's and the board's.

LOL, only Dumb People! I love it...

Thanks for your reply, I just always thought when the board shows the hand then the players in the pot at showdown all get a to split it. I mean it makes sense that the better FH should win and I don't know why I was thinking other wise? Momentary lose of my sanity, hehehe.

Thanks again...
