Hi All,
At our local 'Pub' game last night we had a strange action and ruling that no one could agree on. I also looked at the 2022-2023 WSOP Tournament rules and nothing seemed to answer the question!
If anyone has a good idea and is able to give a view, or even better if you are or know a Tournament Director (TD) that would be amazing!
Here goes:
Playing NLHE, 6 players, 50/100blinds
EP Opens for 225, next player folds.
MP (who was on his phone and not paying attention) says 'raise to 300' and throws 300 in the middle.
At this point action stops and the decision was that it was a call, as his raise was not the minimum amount.
He was forced to call and wasn't happy.
What is the correct action here:
- It is a call as the chips weren't enough for a correct sized raise
- Its a raise of the minimum amount regardless of his verbal declaration
Any help much appreciated!
Also for the following 10 mins he acted like a child and went all in out of turn every hand and kept behaving badly for a while lol!
Many Thanks
Stu
