Sorry if I’ve misread but I believe it’s all about what’s on the board, not just in a player’s hands. Split pots are usually the case if all hands at showdown are equal ( same types of cards) or the winning hands are a lower value than what’s on the board. ( Pair of 10s for two players will be split if there is a higher value card on the board for instance). I know that the game doesn’t give you any time to dissect what happened because it automatically moves onto the next hand, with only the Dealer messages in the chatbox to explain the outcome. Also, that’s just Texas Hold’em, obviously slightly different rules for other types of games.
And yet you had time to gripe about split pots without an example of what you’re griping about; then you had time for a snarky reply, also without posting an example of your complaint. Personally, I’ve never seen a hand where two pair, where one hand was clearly stronger than the other, like AATT split a pot with a hand like QQTT, at least not in holdem.
MANY boards have a full house, straight etc. (especially at re-play lol ) or just same hands… Happens all the time here or in cash games. (Ring games).
An obvious example of this is when the cards on the board make it impossible for any players hole cards to create a better 5 card hand.
So this board will always result in a split pot, as no hole cards could give any player a better 5 card holding.
Similarly, many boards will counterfiet many hands. So on the board below, if no player had a T, 7, A, or pocket pair 88 or higher, then the pot would be split among all players.
But as to way this only happens on Replay and no where else on Earth… well, that would obviously be because you live in a parallel universe that none of the rest of us have ever visited.
Aww, this your first week of poker. If u played anywhere u would see split pots with board games like every single day lol:)
