Re: declaring all-in in a limit game
I had this happen at the Borg this past spring (3/6). I have AJ in the SB and complete. 5 to a flop of A A 4 rainbow. I bet out, only button (tightish college age kid) calls. Next card is a 3. I bet, he raises, I reraise, he reraises. Oops...he must have played A3, since he didn't look like a 2-5 kind of guy. I call. Last card, J.
It goes check-bet-raise-reraise-reraise. At this point, he says "If he's not stopping, I'm not", and pushes his chips(about $150) forward. I have him covered. Dealer, other players, and myself all say "You can't do that", the dealer takes another $12 off the stacks, declaring a raise.
I reraise, he says the same thing. Now the dealer gives me a look and I ask him "Will you let him do this?" He says "If you both want to, I have no problem". I check the board one more time to be sure I'm not missing a SF out there, say OK and call. He turns up A3o and left the room very quickly, muttering about his stupidity.
In reading Rick's comments in this thread, I probably should have asked for the floor right there, just to be sure he didn't pull something similar and try to take it all back after the fact.
