Bounty Query

I had a hand earlier where the button shoved (had me covered), the short stack in the small blind shoved and I called. Myself and the button had the same hand, which held, eliminating the short stack. The button received all of the bounty, but if we split the pot and both had the eliminated player covered, should we not have split the bounty as well? This was NLHE.

    Hi @CadleyX

    The rules/software set up on SkyPoker is such that in this scenario the bounty goes to whichever player had the most chips at the start of the hand, it is not split, which probably would be fairer.

    So as the button had you covered he gets the full bounty I am afraid.

    Might is right and all that. :) UL

    Cheers, I thought that might be the case but I've never seen it before.

    Welcome to the forum Mr X.

    As an aside to the thread topic, I see you ran 2nd in last night's Quickdraw for about £240. Well done bud.
