Split pot

The term Split Pot in poker means when two or more players have hands of equal value, then the pot is divided between them in equal shares.

Understanding Split Pot

In poker, Split Pot is the term used when the pot gets divided between two or more players because they had hands of equal value. This situation may arise in any variant of poker, whether in cash games or tournaments, and is quite frequent in community card games like Texas Hold’em and Omaha.

Example of Split Pot

A frequent example of a Split Pot in Texas Hold’em might be the following situation: The community cards read 8-8-8-2-2. Player A has A-K and Player B has Q-J. Neither of these players can make any improvement on the full house on the board, so the pot is split between them.
