Split again

[Dendroid]

I still have some questions about splits and pots.

First situation:

Player A goes 100 (all-in)
Player B goes 200 (all-in)
Player C goes 300

3 pots are created: the main pot (100 from A, 100 from B, 100 from C), the second pot (100 from B, 100 from C) and the third pot (100 from C). Correct?

Then player C folds. What should we do with the third pot on this step? Move it to the second pot?

Then player B folds as well. Player A will take all money (600) because a play has no claims on pots after fold. Is it correct?

If everyone else fold then technically no one can fold..

In any case, side pots are correct.

3rd pot go to play C regardless of what happens in the hand.

if player C muck, 2nd pot go to play B
If play B muck, 1st pot go to player A

Your example is pretty weird because you are suggesting that players are folding after going all-in. I think perhaps you mean they are losing the pot after going all-in? Assuming that, here is what happens:

Player A can only win 300 chips in total because he only wagered 100 and cannot win more than that off any player. If he has the best hand once all cards are dealt, the main pot goes to him.

In your example, Player C has pushed in more chips than anyone else has so the surplus goes back to him regardless of what happens. This is because, as above, Players B and A cannot win more than they wager and neither have a stack as big as Player C.

So let's say Player C gets his 100 back and Player A ends up with the best hand to win 300. The remaining 200 goes to whichever player out of B and C has the best hand. This may be an inferior hand to Player A but he has won all he can and there are still 200 chips to be awarded. If Player C has the best hand, Player B is eliminated and the chip counts are Player A - 300, Player C - 300. If Player B has the best hand, he doubles up and the new chip counts are Player A - 300, Player B - 200 and Player C - 100.
