Who wins this situation?? Online "rules" vs real l

[FastEdwin]

Please help - any and all opinion/thought wanted, the more the better:

Here's the situation in real life:
I have: Ace + Queen
My friend has: Ace + Four

Flop/turn/river = Ace, 4 , 2/ 4 /Ace

So our both best hands are Full Houses (3 Aces + 2 Fours)

***BUT*** my friend is saying because he's holding more cards that make up the full house IN HIS HAND, he's the winner. He said that's how they play it online on Full Tilt Poker. Apparently they wouldn't have drawn the last card online - because there's no way I could have won - at least online.

I disagree - I think it should be a SPLIT POT because BOTH of us hold the same best hand.

Any thoughts?

Split pot. The best hand either of you can play is AAA44. Poker is a 5 card game, so extra cards make no difference.

Also, what he says about FullTilt is thoroughly entirely utterly false. If I'm interpreting what you said right, and this

Apparently they wouldn't have drawn the last card online - because there's no way I could have won - at least online.

means that they would, for ANY REASON, stop dealing prior to the river while more than one player was left in the pot...

This is so blatantly obviously wrong that your friend is certainly lying to you.. he's not just misguided. He's lying. That does not happen online, whether it's fulltilt or anywhere else.

That said, there is a very small chance that your friend is simply confuse.

The other day I play some live poker with someone who claims to play lots of poker on PokerStars (we were both not involved in the following hand)

blind 50/100
player A bet 400
Player B raised to a total of 410 (ie raised with 100)

I said the min raise is 400 (half of the table disagree)
I then said, well its down to house rules, but most poker sites is the way I said it.
The guy went ahead and said that on poker stars, the min raise is the size of the blinds.

Now, the guys had no reason to lie. He was not a jerk and was not a moron... Just confused

In this case, the min raise was to 700. BB was 100, so the 400 bet was a call and 300 raise. Next raise has to be a min of 300 more or 700 total.

Of course you are right.

Actually, I'd stick with the friends who don't know what they are doing. Just have the rule book handy .
