When playing poker if there is a split pot who gets the extra money?

With a split pot it means there are two or more winners. All the money is in the pots, there are no leftovers. The pots go to the winning hands.


What is the objective of poker?

To win the pot. I must Disagree, If you picked 100 poker players at random and asked them about the objective of poker, most would say something about winning the pot, but they couldn't be further from the truth. The objective of poker - in addition to the enjoyment of playing the game -is winning money, not pots. If your objective of poker was to win the most pots, that would be easy to do. Just play every hand and every bet and raise until the bitter end. You'd win a lot of pots. In fact, you'd win every pot you possibly could. But you'd lose money. Plenty of it, and rapidly.

Both Blackjack and poker dealers get paid minimum wage. In some casinos the tip split is a 24 hour split, in others by shift.

Can you train at poker by yourself with a deck of cards?

Do you know all the rules for the different variations of poker? Do you know how to properly shuffle a deck of cards? Do you know how the blinds and raises work in Texas Hold'em? Do you know what to do when a player is away from the table when it is their turn to post a blind? Do you know how to set up a split pot or multiple pots? Do you know how to call the hands? Do you know what to do with an exposed card? If you answered yes to all these questions then you can probably train yourself. If you want to train yourself for friendly home games, then go for it. If you want to train yourself in order to become a poker dealer in a casino, be aware of the fact that poker dealers have to know how to deal more than one version of the game, accurately, and that casinos are very conscious of following the rules of poker and prefer dealers that are trained by a dealer school.
