Advice on Home Game

Macacan

Hey guys

Recently played a home game with a few mates, which is usually a civilised occasion. We normally payout on 1st & 2nd, however this time raised an interesting argument.

Three players left, chip leader goes all in with around 40k holding 88, short stack of 9k calls holding K10. The last player who has around 21k also calls with AK. The 8's hold up and takes out the two other players, so we have the winner.

This is where the fun started, the winner claimed that as he took the two others out with the same hand there can be no second place payout, therefore winner should take all. As you can imagine the discussion was a bit lively.

I would be grateful of any comments on this, should the winner take all or should the 2nd place be split between the last players.

Cheers

No that would never happen and he is pulling one, the person who was 2nd at the time they were knocked out would come second. god if one of our home game players done that i wouldnt call them a friend thats blo-ody outrageous!

Hope this helps, personally i would exclude the said player if he took all the money or ban him for a couple of games thats just out of order and i gurantee he knew it was wrong

I really have no idea about who would come 2nd but I would assume it was the player who had the most chips when they went all in out of the last 2....certainly the 1st place guy should not have all the money! I agree with young gun that he's trying to pull a swift one! (hide the valuables quick! lol)

The losing player who had most chips going into the hand came 2nd.

Neither the player with AK takes second has he had the most chips out of the two all-in players.

Hi Macacan

I think that the chipstack sizes decide who would finish 2nd and 3rd.

lol thats what i put )

the bloke with AK should b awarded 2nd as he has more chips

If the 8's weren't playing, and the AK got beat by K10, the AK player would still be in the tournament because he has more chips.

2nd chip leader in you instance gets the chips!!!
