...At the conclusion of a hand, either by all but one player folding, or by showdown, the pot is won or shared by the player(s) holding the winning cards. Sometimes a pot can be split between many players. This is particularly true in high-low games where not only the highest hand can win, but under appropriate conditions, the lowest hand will win a share of the pot. Read full entry

how do you decide who should

Do poker dealers call the I was just curious if poker
dealers call out how much
money a player bets or raises
and/or calls out how much is
in the pot.
I watch poker on TV, but have
never been to a casino and I
notice that when a bet is
made, the player seems to
automatically know, but it
never shows them looking.
But when somebody puts chips
into the pot, does the dealer
say how much the player put
in?

The dealer will state the amount of the raise if asked, but not the pot size. The players do know, at least the good ones, because you're keeping track as the hand progresses in order to calculate your odds. If a player wishes to know how many chips another player has left, then it is the dealer's job to count that player's chips out and announce how much the player has, although some players will do this themselves. Poker on TV is severely edited. If you were seeing the game play out in real time, there are many more hands being played where players are taking pots down preflop and on the flop. There's only so much time for the show, so they only show "exciting" hands, and even those are edited. In a big pot, it's not uncommon for a player to think 5 minutes or more. However if they showed 5 minutes of someone thinking, it wouldn't be terribly exciting. This is why you don't see people counting out the pot or anything of that sort. *Edit* Yes a dealer should announce the size of the raise when the chips are put in. If you push a stack in, the dealer will break it down, and announce the size of the bet. |

a split pot in poker, the one In a split pot situation in
poker, if the pot is an odd
number, the one closest to the
dealer gets the extra chip.
This I know.
But what if the dealer is
actually in the hand, will he
be the one who gets the chip,
or the person closest to him?
I ask because I believe one
time playing online I was the
dealer in that situation and I
think I didn

The extra chip goes to the player closest to the dealer's left. If the dealer is one of the winners, he can't be to his left also, so it'll go to the other guy. This is how it's done online, in casinos and in my home game. |
