Poker Pot Splitter App: End the Arguments

Split pots and side pots cause more arguments than bad beats. A good pot splitter app does the math instantly and keeps the game moving.

The Split Pot Problem

When two players have the same hand, the pot splits. Simple, right? Not when there's an odd chip, multiple side pots, and three people arguing about who gets what.

Common split pot scenarios:

• Both players have the same straight
• The board plays (everyone has the same five-card hand)
• Chopped pot with an odd chip

Side Pot Nightmares

Side pots are where home games fall apart. Player A goes all-in for $30. Player B calls and raises to $100. Player C calls $100. Now you have:

• Main pot: $90 (A, B, and C can win)
• Side pot: $140 (only B and C can win)

If A wins the main pot but B beats C, you need to split correctly. Most home games get this wrong.

The App Solution

A pot splitter app tracks every bet and automatically calculates:

• Who can win which pot
• Exact split amounts (including odd chips)
• Multiple side pots when needed

No more pausing the game for 5 minutes of math. The app shows exactly who gets what.

How It Works

As players bet, the app tracks each contribution. When someone goes all-in, it automatically creates side pots. At showdown, you just indicate who won, and the app distributes chips correctly.

The best part? Everyone can see the calculation on their phone. No disputes, no arguments, no "I think you owe me $5."
