    Poker Question: 2 friends having a friendly dispute - Need your opinion

    Two Poker players go to the casino.

    Player A says to Player B in the car, "Lets pool together our money if we sit at the same table to better help our odds of winning".

    They Play the $200 buy-in NL Holdem ring game.

    Player B busts out fast while Playber A is up $200.

    Player B goes to the ATM and calls Player A and says "Should i buy back in for another $200, do you still want to play ?"

    Player A responds, "Go ahead I want to stay, we'll figure it out later".

    Player B gets back into the game for another $200 and busts out again quickly.

    When Player A gets off the table he now has $500

    QUESTION IS: How should they split the player A's winnings ???

    Player A has a $200 investment in the game (and won a TOTAL of $500, clearing a $300 profit) and Player B has a $400 investment into the game (leaves negitive $400).

              A keeps it all. Re-Buy should have been higher than 200. Regardless.....A keeps it all.

                  Player B needs some classes.... or just better luck next time....B shouldnt get anything....BUT,,,,,A DID bring up the idea.....he should atleast buy the guy dinner....

                  the initial buy in should be held accountable....but they should overlook the rebuyin.....that was his own fault...

                      Since they agreed to pool there money and Player A agreed to the re-buy then the overall investment was $600 ($200 from A and $400 from B). Player A needs to settle his owed investment by giving Player B $100 from his own pocket. Then they split the winnings $250/$250. More simply put $150 of the winnings to Player A, $250 of the winnings to Player B.

                          the total stake played into the game was $600, with 66% put in by player B.... player B should get 66% of the winnings

                              Player A should give the person 150, if that was me.

                                      Did you bother reading the thread ?

                                      How is the guy who lost entitled to any of the winnings?

                                      Does anyone in this thread actually gamble besides me? Or is everyone on GFY automatically an expert.

                                      The point of a rebuy is to risk more money in to the pot in order to have another chance at winning the whole pot.

                                      Is it that hard to get?

                                      It's not a tournament....its not TV. its heads up no limit poker. B gets shit.

                                          Player B should mug Player A and blame it on some random black dude.

                                              My question is did player B lose all the money going all-in against player A?

                                                  damn...that's a tough call....as Player A was the person that initiated the idea to pool the winnings I would say he should split the winnings.

                                                  The fact that Player B busted out twice doesn't affect the inital agreement that was made when they sat down at the table.

                                                      I wouldn't have made the arrangement in the first place.

                                                          Player A should take his take himself and Player B to a strip club. Since Player B has no more money he should sit there and sip his glass of water while Player A enjoys $500.00 worth of lap dances.

                                                              Irrelevant of the number of buy-ins the amount of profit should be dispensed 50/50.

                                                                              That's the right answer. It's pretty simple. They agree to pool their money together (and I assume split the profit fairly). Initially they both put $200 on the table but later on both accepted player B's extra $200 contribution. This means total pool is $600 with $400 of it contributed by player B. It is player A's responsibility to now hand over $333 of the $500 pool to player B leaving him with $167 and a net loss of $33. And player B will have $333 and a net loss of $67. The whole thing was handled poorly - once player B wanted to buy-in again, player A should have either said I don't want a part of it or contributed $100.

If you agree to pool your winnings with somebody who will go all in every hand, even with 2-7 off suit, regardless of position, pot odds, outs, or how many people contesting the pot there are, then you are fucking stupid. End of story.

Where the fuck did you read 27 off and all that shit? You sound like the typical Rounders watching wannabe that picks up a few books and thinks he knows wtf he is doing. I've whizzed through $1500 in 20 minutes before, has not a fucking thing to do with how well I play. You are a noob, deal with it.

They agree to pool their money together (and I assume split the profit fairly). Initially they both put $200 on the table but later on both accepted player B's extra $200 contribution. This means total pool is $600 with $400 of it contributed by player B. It is player A's responsibility to now hand over $333 of the $500 pool to player B leaving him with $167 and a net loss of $33. And player B will have $333 and a net loss of $67. The whole thing was handled poorly - once player B wanted to buy-in again, player A should have either said I don't want a part of it or contributed $100.

"A" both initiated the idea of pooling funds, and gave the go-ahead on the rebuy. He/She either takes a small loss with B, or should be marked as someone not of their word, IMHO.
