Odd split pots...

[SidVicious]

I am curious if there is a reason why it splits the pot when one person obviously has the better hand (in the FUN tables btw). It has happened A LOT since I started playing here.

For instance, I had a pair of Queens and the other person had a pair of Tens, and it split the pot. It happens all the time, both for and against me. Someone will have a obviously superior hand, but will have to split the pot. Sometimes I have the lower hand, but it will give me chips as well...doesnt seem fair. If you lose, you should lose, and vise versa.

I was just wondering if there is a reason for this...thanks for any help you can give me...cause Im getting confused.

The best five card hand counts. So, if you have QQ and opponent TT and board comes for example AAAAK, then it is a split.

If the person with the winning hand is all-in, he receives the allotted winnings for his bet; the second best hand will win the remaining chips.

Hey...thanks for the input guys. Sorry to say none of the above relate to the situations I have seen. It has been in Texas Hold'em. I have seen the person thats all-in lose and still get chips back. Dont really know...I will pay attention to it and see if I see it again today, and hopefully I can get more of a description of the exact conditions. Thanks again.
