Yet Another Rule Question (1 Viewer)

[Leonard]

FWIW I have never seen a casino apply to 50% of the last raise rule at a NL or PL table. So Texas appears not to be as backwards as Philadelphia or Jersey.

SCENARIO A:
Let's say you bet $200 (your stack is $800). Next guy calls. Next guy calls. Now what if you had the chance to raise again, and essentially start a new round of betting? Obviously the rules prevent this. You can't just keep starting new rounds of betting.

SCENARIO B:
Now how about if you bet $200, next guy goes all-in for $201, next guy calls $201. Now it's your turn again, but if we give you the chance to raise again, we essentially have the same thing as scenario A. You would be starting a new round of betting with no real raise against you, for all intents and purposes.

Best explanation of this I've seen.

In this situation, I believe player D can raise. Here's a different scenario where he probably can't:

Player A starts with $5k. Everybody else, $100k.

BB: $2k
Player A: Calls for $2k ($3k left)
Player B: Fold
Player C: Call for $2k
Player D: Raise to $4k
Fold to A.

Now the action is on A. He can fold or go all-in for an additional $1k
Player A: All in
Player C: Now has the option to call $3k or fold. A's raise did not exceed the minimum bet so the betting action is closed.

We had this situation come up at my mates game recently.

Utg raises.
Utg 2 min raises him
LP (me) all in for less than a raise
Button all in (less than me)

Folds to Utg who argues forever that he CANT raise because my raise wasn't legal even though he hadn't acted on utg2 bet. Ever tried to knock down a wall with a feather? I think it would be easier than explaining the rule to this guy. Ends up he has less than my all in and the whole conversation was irrelevant. (Btw he and utg call and I quadruple up)
