Hello,

I have some questions in mind. Hope you have extra time to answer them. Thanks in advance.

1. Last night, in our game, we had 2 blinds. Then when we are already down to two players, those two pay the blind and action continues. Is this correct?
2. Is Ace for a high hand or a low hand? Or it will just depends on called hand?
3. Can you make your best five card hand directly from the table? If so, then what if this just leave things open to many ties by which will just eventually trigger the players to play the table? Any idea?
4. For an instance, there are 3 players in the pot and then one goes all in. As a result, a main and side pot are made. Do you think the player who went all in must show his cards? If so, when?

Thanks again!

Harley

Harley,

1. Yes there are still two blinds heads up. The dealer button is the small blind, and the other player is the big blind.
2. An ace can play high or low. The only time that it plays as a low hand is when it completes a low straight, also known as a wheel. (A-2-3-4-5)
3. Yes, if your best five card hand is the five cards in the middle, that is your hand. When there is a made hand on board, in many cases there will be a tie.
4. An all-in player is required to show their hand. They must wait until either only one opponent remains in the hand or when showdown occurs at the river and the side pot is determined.
