Trickier Rule Clarifications

[bennymacca]

there are heaps of people that still struggle with some of the trickier, but i was pretty happy explaining this one

it was one of those times where there were some limpers, then a dude shoved for less than 2BB, and a limper tried to raise again

most of the table was a bit confused when i told the limper she couldn't raise again.

i told them that if the person that is all in has not made a legal raise, then betting is not reopened to people that have already acted in the hand.

it was cool because a guy told me thats the best explanation of that rule that he has heard and thanks heaps for the explanation

so yeah, i was happy with this one.

but that brings me to my point

does anyone know of an article that explains all of these trickier rules?

I actually thought it was 50% of a raise.

If you go all in for 1400 when the blinds are 500/1000, then the action hadn't been reopened. If you go all in for 1900 when the blinds are 500/1000 then it had.

But maybe I'm thinking of something else.

If you haven't acted, you're free to do what you want.

I know.

But I'm pretty sure you can re-raise if you've limped, if the all in was more than 50% of a raise.

But I'm probably wrong.

To a degree... If you wanted to raise after the 1400, you have to make it 2400, don't you? Being a full BB over the current bet?

This is true, I think.

actually, im think you might be right

what constitutes a legal raise? is it 50% or a full bb?

its got nothing to do with BB, its got to do with how much someone has raised. a min raise preflop is a BB, so this is where it comes in

So benny the cunt, depending what the actual amount is that the guy went all in for, you might have given out bad advice


You should forfeit your winnings.

The 50% rule applies to limit poker.
