I'm pretty new to hold'em....this could be a dumb??, joker, 24. Oct 2003 08:52

I'll try to explain this the best I can thanks for your help!!!

Senerio:

To make this simple..player 1 had $100, player 2 had $200 and player 3 had $300. Player #1and #2 call all in pre-flop and #3 calls.

If player #2 wins the hand would he/she take $100 or $200 from player #3? Or if player #3 wins does he/she bust player #2 as well as player #1?

I hope this makes sense.....thanks!!!

This is called Side pots.

There will be a main pot of $300, all 3 players will be playing for this pot, best hand takes it down.

There will be a side pot of $200, only player 2 and player 3 will be eligible for this pot, best hand between these 2 takes it down.

If player 3 has the best hand of all, he busts both of them.
If player 1 has the best hand, he wins the 300 pot and player 2 or 3 wins the 200 pot.

Player 3 is calling a 200 bet from player 2, therefore would lose 200.

I understood your example as both P1& P2 going all in
