Playing 1-2-3 NL at foxwoods. First off, what is with the button posting 1$? Is that suppose to stimulate action? The standard bet EP raises to $25, to me with 67suited. I call, another caller, a short stack after me goes all-in for $27, the EP player now asks if he can re-raise off that?!? I am thinking the answer is an obvious no. I assume he has a vulnerable hand and didnt want multiple action and now wants to isolate the all-in. The dealer says, yes, it is no limit. The guy next to me who is new and knows everyone and has a wad of c-notes and a couple hundred in greens protests as do I since we are the other callers. The floor gets called over and says he can raise????

I'm not real familiar with the rules regarding casino play, but I'm under the impression his re-raise would be allowed. This is how I've always played, but I haven't played NL in a casino.

I guess you weren't asking, but while I'm at it, I don't think your call with 67s was good, I'd lay it down for such a big raise.

in a really lax home game, maybe this reraise would be allowed. if they allow it in a cardroom, the floorperson and dealer shold both be fired on the spot.

that was the standard raise on any hand in this game, there was a couple grand on the table, and it was only being played i think 7 handed at the time, in my opinion it was a fine call especially from the player who made the raise he would defend his raise no matter what the flop, if i hit a nice flop i could have racked in huge pot

floormen at foxwoods are the worst, not to get into great detail, but this raise can only be called in 100 percent of casinos

why cant he re-raise? What is the logic behind this?

[Horrible Player]

Since when does foxwoods offer NL. What are the blinds and min/max buy-ins?

thats what i thought, i couldnt believe the floor came over and allowed him to make another $50 raise and push me and the other guy off our hands. they were shaky on a lot of rules in this game and at times it was a circus side show. and this is at the biggest room on the east coast, and the only casino in new england

this was the first time i have seen it. the blinds were 1-2-3. min. buy in was $100, most had about a grand in front of them. later on we switched to 5-5 blinds. it was a sunday afternoon when i was playing. rake $5/half hour

in NL a raise has to at least be equal to the previous amount. so if you raise me $25 i can't raise you $2....unless i am going all-in. and an all-in has to at least be half of the raise amount (if the short stack went all-in for $38 for example) to re-open the betting. otherwise it is just considered a call (even though it is slightly more than a call). the original better is basically raising himself in this situation.
