Default Re: \"Table Stakes\" rule in a B&M

[ QUOTE ]
Table stakes means you can only lose what's on the table. If I raise you $500,000 more and you have $15 left, you can play for that 15. You can't take money off the table because it is bad for the game, and players who lose money to you want to be able to win it back and not let you take it off. It makes sense.

According to the movie, "Shade," if I have $500,000 on the table and you have $15 left, all I have to do is raise more than $15 and I win the pot without contest. What a [censored] horrible movie.
