Onderwerp: a few questions

a few questions :

can the ace be used as a '1' ?
i mean : is A-2-3-4-5 considered to be a straight ? (or nothing)

are there situations where more than 5 cards are used to determine the winner ?
for example :
player A has in his hand 2 and 10
player B has in his hand K and 10
on the table is 6,7,8,9,Q
will the pot be split (both players have a straight) or will player B win with his (6th card) K ?

whats the minimum amount you need to play in a game ? as much as the big blind ? or more ?
(i am not talking about how much you need to join the table, but amout the amount you need to participate in a game when you are already on the table)

Hrqls: Yes A2345 is a straight.

You always use the best five card hand from each player to determine the winner. Whatever cards are left over do not matter at all. So in your example both players have the same straight and the pot will be split between them.

Minimum amount to play in BK poker is the size of big blind. (Unless it has been fixed recently. You really should be able to play until you lose all your money.)

And about the side pots: you cannot win anymore from any player than you put in the pot yourself. For example P1 calls 10, P2 raises all-in 50, p3 raises to 100, p4 calls and then P1 folds. Main pot will be 10+50+50+50=160. Whoever has the best hand in the end will win this. P3&P4 will also be playing for a side pot of 50+50=100.

puupia: thanks! very clear answers :)

about the straight :
A-2-3-4-5 is a straight ?
10-J-Q-K-A is a straight ?
Q-K-A-2-3 is a straight ?

i think the first 2 examples are .. the third is nothing ?

Hrqls: Yes, you are correct. First is the lowest possible straight, second the highest straight. The third is not a straight at all, you cannot loop around like that.
