A few of us were playing after hours in the local the other night as we do every week, except on this occasion a non regular stayed and played with us. We were playing cash games probably max pot of £80 to £100. Now on one hand there were 3 players left (including the non regular), flop, turn and river had been dealt, there was approx £85 in the pot, everyone checked after the river so it was showdown time. The non regular guy then announced that he had jacks, so the other 2 in the hand mucked their cards face down into the burnt and folded cards from other players before he showed and a split second after their cards hit the cards on the table, the non regular player also mucked his cards into the rest of the folded cards. WHO WINS.
There was one hell of an arguement at this point, but as we couldnt tell whose cards were whose as all the burnt cards and the folded cards from the other 5 players were all jumbled up in a pile we deceided to split the pot between the last 3 players.
Also when we checked all these cards there were no jacks anywhere, so we know the non regular guy was lying.
Did we do right splitting the pot or do the rules say something else?
Quite simple, I think ... if everyone has mucked, the pot is split.
I don't think there's any provision for holding a pot over to the next hand, so it has to be distributed between those in "equal" position ... ie all 3.
your mates have accepted the guys bluff that he has jacks and have folded their hands without showing, meaning they are out of the game. the only person left holding a hand wins..
Yes we were all quite merry ! lol !
JJ there was no bluff as they all checked after the river, and as I understand it anyone who mucks their cards face down loses the pot and as they all mucked their cards face down, we just didnt know what to do.
The other 2 guys in the hand were daft as they had paid to get to that stage and then on the word of a stranger they mucked their cards, if 1 of them had turned their cards face up they would have won.
Amnesiac dont be an idiot, I posted a question on here about something that really happened hoping for some one to answer, if you got nothing helpfull to say say nothing
