I don't understand....

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?

cheers!

Alex.

P.S.: How can I share with you my moves I did in this game when it finished? Is there a way to download my hands?

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.

For example, suppose that player 1 goes all in with 1400 chips, and is called by player 2 who only has 1300 chips, and player 2 wins - player 1 would be given 100 chips back (1400 - 1300).

Not knowing what you had, what he had, the progression of bets, etc. no precise answer is possible.

However, I suspect you were all-in and the second player either made another bet, forcing a third player to fold, in which case his bet would be returned to him, or that there was a side pot between the second player and a third player, who lost to the second player. In the second case, the second player wins the side pot, but loses the main pot to you. This would all be described in the chat window at the end of the hand, unless Titan's software is vastly different than any of the other sites I play on.

It is probably because you didnt have as many the same amount of chips in as the other person say he had 2.1k chips and you had 2k chips and he went all in and you called his 100 chips are still in as a side pot which you can't win
On your other question you can take a picture with [Prnt Scrn] Button then paste it into Paint an application you have in start menu than go to a website like photodump or bucket just google something like that and put your image onto their site than use the IMG URL they give you and paste it in your message
