If the blinds are 25/50 and the guy UTG raises to 150, the next guy CAN raise to 250...there is no question about it.

The only question is, are you reading the question.

This is after the flop, it isn't raised to 150, it's a bet of 150.

so 250 is the correct answer? 50 blind + 100 bet = 150...raise 100 (size of previous bet) = 250

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

The question relates to post-flop betting.

The correct answer is that there was a bet of 150 so therefore the minimum raise must be to at least 300.

yeah, I see that side of it, too. I think one could make a good arguement for both. I need to go back over the rules but I see it as raising the blind (yes, the after the flop bet). For the record, I don't know what is correct, I was just offering how I viewed it....

You are required to bet a minimum after the flop, the size of the blind. If you bet more than that you are "raising the minimum bet". So I see how the minimum raise could be the difference between that first bet and the blind. Again, I need to look back over the rules.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

This thread is ridiculous.

There is no one side of it or the other side of it.

You have to raise the minimum of the previous bet.

The bet was 150, you have to raise another 150, (150+150= 300)

also...

do any if you guys from this thread want to play a game of poker? I think it would be a whole lot of fun.

Post flop you are not "raising the minimum bet" you are betting or raising. Pre-flop you are raising a bet that has been posted blind, hence the name.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

Technically a minimum raise is the amount of the previous raise --- but since I'm guessing this question is meant in the realm of home games, it really is up to the host.

I have played in a home game where the minimum raise is the big blind. Yes, that's not how it's stated in Robert's Rules of Poker, but those are the house rules.

Incidentally, I have not returned to that game in a long time.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

I think these two things are related.

Read the post. Moose is correct.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

I misread it. postflop bet of 150 must be raised to 300. sorry.
