Hi!

Right now I’m playing a “new depositors freeroll” at Titan.

I just won a hand with 3 of a kind. Another player had 3 of a kind also but with lower cards besides the threes.

Why If I had a better hand he won 100 chips?

Shouldn’t I had won All the chips?

I saw exactly the same in another hand when the winner had, I think 2 pairs and another player had 1 pair, and the one who had one pair won a small amount of the pot.

Why is this?

Either the 100 chips were just returned to the other player because he/she had 100 more chips than you at the start of the hand, or it was a sidepot that two players with more chips than you were competing for. You can only win all of someone’s chips if you have them ‘covered’

...and yes, at pokerstars you can copy/paste from ‘instant hand history’ while at the table (click on the dealer chips)...or request your recent hand histories to be sent via email. Its an option at the top of the page. You can also have hand histories automatically saved to your computer.

Oh, I saw you play at Pokerstars, but this was at Titan. I don’t know how hand histories work there.
