Rollover and Split Pots

[mattmc419]

It appears that split pots are not counting towards poker rollover.

I don't think this is totally fair. For one, it meets the requirement of having your points at risk and your bet called.

Second, for those who say it creates an easy way to complete rollover when both players have straights or something, it's never guaranteed the pot will split. One player could have the higher straight, etc.

For the 2nd time tonight, I had a split pot happen in situations where I didn't expect it. A lot was bet by both of us and it didn't count for rollover. For example, we both had AQ off with a Q, but also a straight draw, on the board. Neither of us knew for sure if the other person had the straight.

3X rollover is already bordering a tough requirement and takes hours to clear for the bigger amounts. Not counting split pots just makes it that much harder by adding an unnecessary exception.

That's a bunch of BS, of course it should count.

I also had a split pot and can verify that it did not count it toward the rollover.

In addition to that I also noticed that at the .25/.50 table, it is not counting the big blind or the small blind or any .50 calls toward the rollover. If it was raised to a full point it got counted if it was .50 it gave 0.

I had a split pot yesterday and would find it totally wrong if it didn't count towards rollover. If indeed this is the case then SBR needs to change instantly!!!

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

I talked to Lou earlier and was told that it would require a technical change in the software, so it won't be possible until a new update is released in a couple of weeks.

About the split pots : I was curious about this when I first saw this thread. Yesterday I was involved in two split pots - one relatively big. So I went thru my hand history ( it wasn't a long session ) and according to my calculations , unless I'm mistaken, the split pot bets did count toward my rollover.

It's about 10 days since Lou told you it would happen after an update, so I guess the recent update took care of this. I haven't seen this discussed anywhere else, so I thought I'd report it here.

When I first saw this thread I couldn't imagine a reason for the bets not counting - the rake certainly is based on those bets.
