Poker Forums

Hi All,

We were playing in our usual home poker game the other day and we had  a situation where the some guy went All In against 2 other guys who had the same better hand so it was a split pot, knocking him out.

Ideally you would say that he was knocked out by both of them and they were both his Hitmen for that game.

So my question:

IS there an official ruling on multiple hitmen awards in a home poker game - ie. maybe the person closest to the dealer is awared the hit only? Or maybe the person on the knocked out players right gets the award?

I also noticed that PokerDIY can't handle multiple hitmen (if, indeed, it is 2 or more awarded in the scenario above)... I raised a feature request here.

cheers!

Hi Lee,

Yes, if  2 guys knock out the Hitman ( what i prefer call the "bounty") with a similar hand, there are no other way than to share the bounty. (except of course if one of them had less chips than the bounty).

 That's the rule applied by the online rooms.
