Splitting Uneven Pots

Question: If there is an odd number of chips in the pot, and the pot is split (say, 105 due to the small blind folding or something), who gets the extra 5 and why? In our home game, we just throw the extra in the next pot, but I was wondering what the correct way to play it is.

Thanks for the info.

Answer: The correct way to do that is to give the extra chip to the person with first position. So if you have three people in the pot and the pot is exactly 100 then everyone gets 33 and the last chip goes to the first guy.
