The side pot has -$0.05. If there had been no more betting, and someone had lost the main pot but won the side pot, they would be out a nickle.

I thought it was funny, but apparently some people don't have a sense of humor.

(Another slightly amusing thing is that it's a razz game with three players on 7th street all showing pairs. If you can't beat the rake on that table, methinks you might be doing something wrong.)

That's rather bizarre. I take it the side-pot amounted to like 5c or something and the hand required 10c in rake?

Btw, might want to scale down/resize the pic next time. That file is close to 4MB, and could easily be made like 100kb.

I've never seen a negative side pot before. Kinda funny.
