Yup - I misread it as well. Wonder why we all did that?

Are you suggesting then that the original post was edited between your first wrong answer at 9.38 and Khabbi's correct answer at 9.41 ... 5 hours after the OP originally asked the question?

And Igkeeper's 'no question about it' reply came after two posts that specifically pointed out that the action was post-flop.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

Yeah, I guess so.

Thanks for being forum cop, I appreciate it.

Edit: REALLY appreciate it.

Edit again: heh, my response isn't even "incorrect"... I present correct information, it's just confusing because it doesn't apply...

kinda like the OP's reference to the blinds.

hmm....

f Home Poker, the nits here are worse than the ones in B&M. You guys suck.

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.

I don't see how its such a terrible rule, you feel you have to leave the game.

Agreed. Rules like these are usually the sign of a game you should be at every week. Don't be a know-it-all nit, just be cool, have a good time, and make some easy money.

Re: Question about minimum allowed raise
 

As long as they don't allow people to raise themselves (i.e. they bet, someone calls, and they then raise after the betting should have been closed) then it is nothing to worry about. If someone wants to re-raise from 1000 to 1100 is that really a bad thing?

The only reason this could be bad is collusion. However, every time I have seen it it just indicates fish. Smile and call with your 2-outer!
