Pokerstars Cash Out Rigged
PokerStars rarely shies away from innovations and variations from the norm. In recent years, the online poker site has developed numerous games based on traditional online poker, often leading the entire industry into uncharted territory.
The latest move from PokerStars is the introduction and launch of All-In Cash Out.
Essentially, players can reduce their variance in all-in situations in Hold’em by cashing out the hand based on hand equity. And that decision to do so is not based on the move by the other player. It is a unique way to allow a player to get something from the hand instead of sweating the outcome and giving the hand over to the luck of the cards.
There is a fee for an All-In Cash Out, based on the stakes and value of the hand, but giving players the choice is a new way to open up the game with more options.
For now, the All-In Cash Out is available on the PokerStars-dot-com site, as well as the dot-eu, dot-uk, and dot-be markets, but it will roll out to the full range of global sites soon.

What is All-In Cash Out?
Players competing in No Limit Hold’em, No Limit 6+ Hold’em, and Pot Limit Omaha cash games will be able to choose an All-In Cash Out option in all-in situations.
The stakes available for the new innovation thus far are $0.01/$0.02, $0.02/$0.05, and $0.05/$0.10. If the popularity of the option grows, more stakes will be included as the rollout continues.
Essentially, the situation is simple.
Player A and Player B are involved in a hand, and Player A is all-in. That player will then receive an offer for the All-In Cash Out.
–Option 1: Player A declines the All-In Cash Out, and the action resumes as normal.
–Option 2: Player A chooses the All-In Cash Out, and the hand plays out. However, Player A cannot win the pot. Player B can win the pot through the normal action, or if Player A does win, PokerStars collects the pot.
–Option 3: Both players choose the All-In Cash Out, and they receive their amounts. The hand plays out but it goes to PokerStars.
The amount offered for an All-In Cash Out is calculated automatically in the software according to the probability of the hand winning the pot. The offer then also includes a 1% fee applied to the hand value (not the value of the entire pot) that goes to PokerStars for presenting the option. Technically, it is rake for the All-In Cash Out option.
Cash Out Calculations
According to the PokerStars website, the hand value offered by the All-In Cash Out option is calculated by subtracting the rake from the pot size and multiplying that by the probability of winning.
–Hand value = (Pot Size – Rake) x Probability of Winning
In a game of $0.05/$1.00 NLHE, with a pot of $100 and rake of $2.50, this hand is given as an example:
–Player A has a pair of aces preflop, with a winning probability of 81.95%.
–Player B has a pair of kings preflop, with a winning probability of 18.05%.
The calculation for each will be:
–Player A: ($100-$2.50) x 81.95% x 99% (minus the 1% fee) = $79.10
–Player B: ($100-$2.50) x 18.05% x 99% (minus the 1% fee) = $17.42
The final amounts are the offerings for each player for the All-In Cash Out option.
Players Have Questions
PokerStars has answers.
Yes, a player can opt out of All-In Cash Outs in the player settings and never be given the option.
Yes, players can still use the Run It Twice function if declining the All-In Cash Out. If one player chooses the cash out and the other player does not, the other player can run it twice if they choose.
No, cards folded by other players are not calculated into the All-In Cash Out offer.
No, there are no plans to introduce the new function to tournament play.
No, an All-In Cash Out does not change the random number generator that randomizes the hand’s natural evolution as performed by the software.
PokerStars acknowledges that there is another layer of skill and analysis added when players have the option to cash out instead of playing out their hands.

All players will find themselves in an all-in situation at some point, with all their chips at stake and no way to further influence the hand.

When there are community cards still to come, even a big favorite will get unlucky and lose the hand sometimes.
All-in Cash Out is a feature that gives eligible players who are all-in the option to collect the value of their hand without having to play the hand to its conclusion.
How it Works
When an all-in situation occurs in a cash game and players’ hands are revealed (before the river and with no more action pending), we calculate each hand’s probability to win the pot and assign a cash out value to each hand, based on those probabilities.
Players in the all-in pot will be presented with the option to cash out their hand and receive the cash out amount, risk-free. If they decline, they will continue to contest the entire pot (and any side pots in which they are involved) as usual.
Once a player chooses to cash out they will no longer be eligible to contest any portion of the pot, and will receive the offered amount added to their stack immediately.
Players declining the cash out option will still need the best hand at showdown to win the pot, even if all their opponents have cashed out.
Calculating the Cash Out Amount
The cash out value offered is calculated per the formula below:
Hand value = (pot size - rake) x probability of winning
We apply a 1% cash out fee on value of your hand (not the entire pot), deducted prior to offering the cash out amount.
You can opt-out from the All-in Cash Out feature entirely via the 'Settings' menu.
Example
Game: 0.5/1 No Limit Hold’em
Pot: 100 (rake 2.5)
Pre-flop, Player 1 has a pair of aces and a winning probability of 81.95%, while Player 2 has a pair of kings and a winning probability of 18.05%.
Player 1’s cash out value will be: (100 - 2.5) x 81.95% x 99% = 79.10
Player 2’s cash out value will be: (100 - 2.5) x 18.05% x 99% = 17.42
Eligible Games
All-in Cash Out is offered in No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and 6+ No Limit Hold’em (where available), at both real and play money ring game tables. All-in Cash Out is available at all stakes.
All-in Cash Out is not available when the cashout value is less than $0.01/€0.01.
All-in Cash Out – At a glance
- When you cash out your hand, you can no longer win any part of the pot. If your hand ends up winning at showdown, the pot will be removed from the table.
- If your opponent cashes out their hand, you still need to have the best hand at showdown to win the pot.
- All-in Cash Out is not available until the point where players’ cards are revealed. Therefore, if only one player is all-in, they will not be offered a cash out until any side action is complete and cards are revealed.
- If everyone in the hand cashes out, any remaining community cards will still be dealt.
- The choice to cash out is always yours, and you must hit the button to confirm a cash out decision. If you time out before making a cash out decision, the default position is to decline the cash out offer and play the hand out as normal.
