My opponent was unbelievably loose, and I had doubled up on him as a shortstack three times during bubble play to escape elimination by pushing against his endless limps and minraises from the small blind (since he refused to lay any of them down). Well, here we are heads up, he minraises from the SB, I triple his bet, and he calls. I flop top pair good kicker plus the gutshot straight draw, and am first to act. I was going to push, but I found that I couldn't move the betting scroll bar to the right. I figured I was just imagining things, so I tried it again. Then I started to worry. I checked to make sure my mouse was working, and it was fine. I tried to move the betting scroll bar again, and then resigned to hitting the minimum bet button of $1200. Of course, my weak bet and slowness to act had to make it look at least somewhat like I had slung my chips out there preflop w/a middle pair or some such trash, and was now hesitating and having second thoughts about the relative strength of my hand. To top it all off, after EyeGougerMan calls my flop bet, I find that my turn and river betting are capped at $600. Four diamonds fall, and the rest is history, of course. I sent an email complaint, but I'd imagine I'm just out of 11 bucks. A similar thing happened the other day on PokerStars. I might just be an idiot and not know about this rule, but I raised in MP w/a monster and the SB went all-in for a little more (his raise was less than the minimum raise would have been). Big blind called, and I was only given an option to call. The other players said you can't reraise where the initial raiser has raised all-in for less than what the minimum raise would be to other players. Any insight into either of these situations?
