Playing 2/4 at Canterbury Sunday. The flop gets checked around to the button who bets $1 all-in. The BB tries to complete to $2. The dealer tells him he can't check-raise an all-in player. I say he should be allowed to raise to $3, since the $1 was at least half of a full bet. The dealer insists he can't check-raise an all-in player, and calls for the floor. The floor agrees with the dealer /forums/images/icons/confused.gif. What is the rule in other cardrooms?
Here is the rule at CP (I put the relevant part in bold):
An all-in wager of less than half a bet does not reopen the betting for any player who has already acted and is in the pot for all previous bets. A player facing less than half a bet may fold, call or complete the wager. An all-in wager of half a bet or more is treated as a full bet and a player may fold, call or make a full raise.
Am I right or am I reading the rule wrong?
