I was in a B&M casino playing small stakes Limit Hold'em (2/5) and during one hand I made a quad of deuces on the turn. Another player had a top set and so he made a full house (99922). The two of us and another player (looks like top pair or two pair) made it to the river (a blank). I bet, the top pair guy called, the full house guy raised, I reraised, the top pair guy folded at this point and we go heads up.
Now, the full house guy reraised me again and I know that most casinos allow unlimited reraising in heads-up situations and this one does too. So I wanted to just keep reraising the guy and just to confirm, asked the dealer and she said that since we had started the river round 3-handed, this rule did not apply and I could only call. I was obviously not too happy to miss out on the other guy's whole stack since he seemed eager to go all in as well.
Does this ruling make sense to anyone? - I can't figure out why it can possibly matter how many people start the round vs how many people are playing in the hand right now.
