play in carbon 0.11 USD 6 handed Sit N go!

there are 6 players [player 1 to player 6]

at the very 1st hand
player 1 go all in
player 2 calls
player 3 calls
player 4 calls
player 5 calls

I am player 6
the pay out structure is
1st got 0.39USD
2nd got 0.21 USD

at that moment I folded.

Here is my question:
If I am not folding my 99, and I calls!

there will be only 1 winner of this hand.
obv the winner got 1st.

but who is going to be the 2nd place of this Sit N go [since all losing this hand, and all even chip]???

thank you.:D:D:D

It is possible that there could be a split pot, although unlikely, so by folding, you should have guaranteed yourself at least 2nd place.

Your stack size disadvantage would be enormous though and you would likely find yourself being put all in in every HU hand.

To attempt to answer your question I'm fairly sure that each poker site has rules which govern this situation and I have no doubt that they all differ slightly. If I were writing the rules all of the other 5 players would split the 2nd place cash but I'm fairly sure that that is too simplistic a solution.

True, each site has a rule. I believe that in a hypothetical situation like this, the first winning player to the dealer's left, clockwise, will receive the extra chip .. This happens for example when two players go all-in and tie with a pot of unique value (0.15 type). The first player to the dealer's left win 0.08 and the other 0.07.

I don't really know what happens, but the best thing is to fold and pray there is not a split pot, and then you would have ensured 2nd place
