Hi

My question is simple is there any time when you have a two live hands in texas holdem no limit that you dont deal all five comunal cards but instead stop at three or four?

We are having big arguments and cant continu until we get suffitient answeres.

Sure, lots of times. Why would you go through the motions of dealing cards out if the hand's already won? That is, if someone bets and everyone else folds, there's no reason to play it out.

Dealing it out is known as "rabbit hunting". This is more common in home games with inexperienced players, who want to know if their card would have come had they stayed in. As such, it's fine (although marginally time-wasting) in that environment. You won't see this in a casino, though.

I suppose you could make the argument that it's unnecessary to deal the river occasionally (one hand has a lock and the players are all-in), but in that case it's usually just dealt for formality.

Yeas but then you stop becous there is only one hand alive an there is no use of continuing.

But my friend says that there is situations where if one goes all in at an early stage in the hand, then there will not be any moore comunal cards, but I say that the comunal cards ar allways dellt as long as they can effekt the outcom.

Am i right?

If a player goes all-in and is called at any stage of the hand, the entire board has to be dealt. There is not a single exception to this rule.

Thanks for all the Quick answers. Now we can continu.

As very new beginner I have so many questions. I was BB and the rest of the players fold. What is to become of the pot now? What are my options when a player before me goes all-in and I have good hole cards and a large stack?
