Tourney Check-raise and obligation to bet (1 Viewer)

[Kid_Eastwood]

Hi,

I just had a look at WSOP rulebook and saw statement saying "check-raise is allowed in any game except in some forms of lowball".

I then navigated to the California Lowball section where it's specified that check-raise is allowed.

In which game is check-raise forbidden then ?

I also read somewhere that in California lowball, you MUST bet if you have a 7-low or better hand. I also read that in some Draw game, you can only bet if you have minimum a pair of Jacks before the draw and if you discard one, you must keep it identifyable for further verification if needed.

In WSOP rulebook, there is nothing about the "7-low" rule.

Are those kind of rules "house" rules or they are part of the official rules ?

I read the Robert's rules of Poker and for Limit Cali Lowball it's specified that :
- 7-rule applies by default, except if explicitely said
- same for the check-raise which is not allowed

Jacks or better is considered as a specific variant of Draw Poker.

So topic closed.
