Question about a home game

Kenny.. We have a Friday night game and always have an argument when a player can't fully make the blinds. Is there an easy way to determine what the short stacked player can win? Do the remaining chips go to the next best hand?? Thanks

A player all-in for less than the blind can only win the amount he started with times the number of players in the pot that call pre-flop (including blinds). For example, if the blinds are 200/400 and a player only has 300 left, he can only win 300 x the number of players in the pot that put in that much or more. Therefore, if a player is all in for 300 in middle position and the button and both blinds limp in, he can only win 300 chips from each of them. Therefore, in this case a 1,200 chip pot should be set as the main pot with the rest in a side pot. The side pot can only be won by one of the 3 remaining players. They would now all continue with the next round of betting taking place on the flop.

Good luck at the tables,
SCkenny

we no that the spadeclub RNG is programmed 2 favor the bigstack. The proof is in the play, not in what u say. We no that ur going 2 deny it because u work 4 spade, they give u a paycheck.We also no that its rigged 4 the action flop & that u cant beat the sc action flop.
