what are your views on split pots? the reason i ask is because on 2 different tables it happened to me at exactly the same time in the MM-60 2 people are allin, and i call.. 1 has AQ other AJ and i had 66....flop comes 467. i'm happy then runner runner str8 and pot is split...playing a MM-61 sat and i have J8 suited on BB and see the flop, i hit the nut str8 guy puts me allin with 2 pair i call, runner runner str8 split pot again..
it happened twice earlier in another tourney....what are your views?

I know the feeling...
But again sometime because of spliting you dont lose all chips.
Worst thing for splitting is when you hit three of a kind like you did and people going all in on ace high only and then str8 comes on table and everyone splits...

Then now you have bad luck on your side...
But I am sure that sometimes split will help you and you will be happy for that lol.
at Macubaas... Yeah on cash games hands like this are worst... You are raising and pot is big...
Few players are calling on nothing and at end on showdown they had nothing but everyone splits.

Well split pots --> sometimes you are on the lucky site,some times on the other ...
I mean :
Sometimes you were way in front and than the pot splits .... sometimes the other way
Like AA vs QQ --> pot splits with a flush on the board
but as I said sometimes you are the "looser" with the winning hand that ends in a split pot, sometimes your the "winner"
But be carefull with split pots when you play omaha Hl --> happens a lot that the low hand is splitted by 2 --> when you are with 3 in a hand and onmly get 1/2 of the low hand , you actually loose money or chips

This is a real kick in the stomach when it happens, but to happen twice is sick. You always think to yourself that the whole world is against you when it happens but if you are on the other side and pick up a split pot its Happy Days!!
