How is a side pot calculated when someone goes all-in?
A side pot is created when a player goes all-in for less than the current bet. The all-in player can only win the main pot, which is capped at their all-in amount matched by each other player still in the hand. Every chip bet beyond that amount goes into a separate side pot that only the players who kept betting can win.
Who gets the odd chip when splitting a poker pot?
When a split pot does not divide evenly, the leftover odd chip goes to the player in the worst position — by the most common convention, the first active player clockwise from the dealer button. In a high-low split game, the odd chip goes to the high hand. The point is to have a fixed rule agreed in advance so there is never an argument.
How do I fairly split winnings after a card game?
Use a settlement algorithm that calculates the minimum number of transfers needed to square all debts. PartyPot's Smart Settlement does this automatically — just end the session and it shows exactly who pays whom, ensuring every penny is accounted for.
