Hello, I want to know how a Pot is Split or Chopped in case of a Texas Hold'Em No Limit or Pot Limit Game in below scenario:

This Game is a 5 Card Rule Game, & Two of the Players end up having same 5 Card Hand, i.e. Straight(10, 9, 8, 7, 6) which is the Highest Hand on Table.

Then in this scenario, will the Pot be split or chopped into two equal halves, irrespective of whether Pot is Even or Odd, or will some other Rule come in play

Not sure I quite understand what you are asking...if both players make them same hand, the pot is evenly divided between them, yes.

In the case of an odd chip (say after the rake there is $101 in the pot, and the smallest chip is $1), then every place I’ve ever played the odd chip goes to the player in the first order to act. I.e., if it’s UTG v Btn, the extra chip goes to UTG.

I assume they do it by highest suit, just as would be the case in a chip race when coloring up in a tournament.

It's spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs from high to low, which is the same order in bridge or reverse alphabetical order.

I've only seen it based on suit or position. I don't know of a third way it is done.

Pot is split equally into halves down to the smallest denomination, if there is an extra chip of the smallest denomination that cannot be split it is given to the player that is closest left of the dealer/ BTN.

Never actually seen a chop difference be determined by suit in any variant of poker I have played.

I've seen it done that way in 7 Card Stud (no button)

I would be totally in favor of deciding split pots via suits or drawing high cards or throwing dice if that is what it takes. Split pots are depressing.

It would come down to suits if the case of the same hand. spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.

That's why I refuse to run it twice.

Hi it seems like you got what I was asking in the first place. Though I forgot to mention the Stakes for this sample case:
So lets say the Stakes for this game were $5/$10 & pot was $101 after Rake, then if two Players have the same Straight Hand, then who will get what?

Will the Player sitting next to Dealer Button receive $51 & the other Player receive $50, or will they receive $53(48+5) & $48, respectively?

Also what will be the value of extra Smallest chip over here, will it be equal to Small Blind($5) or always $1. Have this doubt because one of my friend pointed out that the Smallest Chip on a Table(whether be Online Poker or Real Life Poker Table) is always equal to Small Blind.

More appropriately I would like to know what will happen in case of Online Poker in the above scenario.

Even worse are the quartered pots in a O/8 or Stud/8 game. And I saw one in a tournament where it the low had to be split more than two ways...yeah you get a few chips back but you still lose money on the hand. Redefining 'run bad'

If the pot is $101, there would have to be a $1 chip in the pot, so $51-$50.

In live poker, I believe it would be the smallest chip in use, but I’m not a dealer or supervisor, so someone else might be able to give you a more knowledgeable answer. I’ve also never played in a game where there weren’t at least some $1 chips involved for the rake, etc., even if it’s just a few, so folks with more high stakes experiences can weigh in.

Can’t speak to online, unfortunately-haven’t played there since Black Friday. Seem to recall that small splits were not a problem in an electronic format—pots could be split down to a penny in micro stakes.

you mean they dont break out quarters? i always bring a roll of quarters to the casino to tip the dealers. 1$ tip per hand! that's outrageous!!!! i think a 25cent tip is generous.

Quartering people who think they are just running bad is a key skill in high-low split games.
