| Re: How to handle split pots
Actually, I believe there would be several side pots. There would be a main pot of 2500 for everyone to contest. Then there would be side pot 1, which everyone except P2 could contest, with 1000 in it. Side pot 2 would be contested by P1, P4, and P5, and would have 750 in is. Side pot three would be between P4 and P5 and have 500 in it. When it comes to showdown, have the players turn their cards over by the pot that they are contesting, i.e. P4-5 first, declare winner, then P1 and declare a winner, then P3 and declare a winner, then P2 can turn over his cards and the best hand wins the main pot. Try to remember who is contesting for which pot by placing it in front of them. For example - leave the main pot in the middle, Side Pot 1, place in front of P3, Side Pot 2, place in front of P1, and Side Pot 3 place in front of P4.
Hope this helps,
