Poker Side Pots?

[ZikkityZakOTA]

Hey, I'm pretty new to hosting poker tables in TTS and the side pots still confuse me. Can anyone tell me how they work besides the fact that it has to do something with all-ins?

Sides Pots...

Lets say you have 3+ people remaining.
Player A has 10 chips
Player B has 8 chips
Player C has 3 chips

Player C goes all in with his 3 chips
Players A & B match him, putting in 3 chips each
The current pot now sits at 9 chips, where player C has 0 chips remaining.

As Player C can no longer bet/call/check due to having nothing to put in, but players A & B can as they still have chips left - the current pot is left alone.

Players A & B then continue playing, forming a side-pot with any future blinds/calls/checks/bets/ect - They continue to play as normal while player C watches.

Once all cards are revealed, Players A & B will play out for their side pot (Player C cannot win this side-pot as they never contributed anything to it) and take their winnings accordingly.

All 3 players then play out the main pot (The one Player C went all in on) as normal.


That's my understanding of side-pots, you can probably find a better definition online.

I'm using a scripted table but not sure how to use the "side pot" button, any ideas?
