Talk:Table stakes

Example of table stakes
If I remember right, the book The Official Rules of Card Games has a pretty good example of how the pot is divided among several poker players playing table stakes.

Suppose A has 30 chips, B has 50 chips, C has 100 chips, and D has 200 chips, and suppose C or D bets 100 chips (the highest bet that at least two players can match). And suppose all the players call and are in for the showdown. The pot contains 200 chips from C and D, 50 chips from B, and 30 chips from A, for a total of 280 chips.

The highest hand of the four wins the 30 chips that player A bet and the 90 chips that the other three players bet against him, for a total of 120 chips.

The highest hand among B, C, and D wins the additional 20 chips that B bet and the 40 chips that C and D bet against him, for a total of 60 chips.

The higher hand between C and D wins the remaining 100 chips in the pot.

(D retains 100 unbet chips that no one else could have matched.) 64.179.154.8 (talk) 07:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
