Sometimes, though, the pot is divided equally among two or more players. This is called splitting the pot. Also known as chopping, splitting usually occurs when it\u2019s obvious that nobody at the table can have the strongest hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another possibility is when the action folds to the small blind in a live ring game. The small blind can then ask the big blind if they want to chop the blinds. If the big blind agrees, they both replace their blinds in their stack and move on to another hand. Chopping the blinds isn\u2019t allowed in <a href=\"https:\/\/poker.borgataonline.com\/en\/tournaments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>poker tournaments<\/strong><\/a> or online poker in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Splitting also occurs in high-low games (e.g., Omaha High-Low) in which half the pot goes to the player with the strongest low hand and the remainder to the player with the strongest high hand, but for the purposes of this article, the focus is on split pots in Texas hold\u2019em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does a Split Pot Work in Poker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when do you split the pot in poker, exactly? Fortunately, the poker split pot rules are relatively simple to grasp. Say you\u2019re playing Texas hold\u2019em, and you\u2019re holding an ace-high straight by the river. The board is unpaired, and the cards are rainbow, so there aren\u2019t any ways to make a flush. As a result, you know you have the nuts, so you bet double the pot. But your opponent calls, and it turns out that they also have a top straight. Too bad. You have to split the pot, dividing the chips evenly between the two of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many possible situations could lead to the same outcome. For example, it\u2019s common for players to tie with a pair of the same rank. In most cases, it\u2019s the kicker that determines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/who-wins-tie-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>who wins a tie in poker<\/strong><\/a>. Sometimes, though, players have the same kicker too. Say your hole cards are a 10 and a 9. On Fifth Street, the board is 10-6-6-2-A-4, so you have two pair with an ace kicker. Come showdown, your opponent\u2019s hole cards turn out to be a 10 and a 5, giving them two pair with an ace kicker as well. Neither player has the strongest hand, so the only option is to chop and play another hand.<strong>&lt;h2&gt;Calling In Poker To Win a Split Pot&lt;\/h2&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"People sitting around a poker table, in a casino, engaging in a game of poker, with poker chips and playing cards arranged on the table. \" class=\"wp-image-15384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=130 130w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=520 520w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=650 650w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=909 909w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=1170 1170w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21092553\/Body-Image-2--8.jpg?w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the time, you\u2019ll be calling in poker to win the full pot, but sometimes you know it will be a split pot by the river, so what do you do if your opponent bets in? Any player with a mastery of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/mastering-basics-texas-holdem-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Texas hold\u2019em basics<\/strong><\/a> knows that the decision of when to call in poker depends on your expected value. This, in turn, comes down to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/calculating-pot-odds-in-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>pot odds<\/strong><\/a>, which is a fairly simple poker math calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how it works: Say you\u2019re facing a bet on the river with ace-queen offsuit and triple kings and a pair of threes on the board (king-king-king-3-3). As a result, both you and your opponent have a full house. Your ace kicker makes no difference in this situation, so you cannot win the hand. Your decision here is to call and share the pot with your opponent or fold and not win anything at all. The first step is to determine the pot odds (compare the size of the bet and the pot). This will tell you if it\u2019s profitable to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Say the pot is $20, and your opponent\u2019s bet is $10. As a result, you have to call $10 to win a $30 pot. This gives you pot odds of 25% (3 to 1). Ordinarily, this means you need to have the best hand at least 25% of the time for the call to be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how does a split pot affect the poker math? Since you want to win only half the pot, you halve the pot size in the calculation. This means you\u2019re calling $10 to win a $15 pot. The pot odds are now 1.5 to 1, or 40%, so you must have the best hand 40% of the time. In this situation, having the best hand means your hand is as strong as your opponent\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, you can only lose if your opponent has a king or a pair of threes in the hole to make four of a kind. The odds of this being so are significantly lower than 40%, so you can call with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explore Borgata Online Poker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keen to <strong>play poker online<\/strong>?
