many poker players consider a bet larger than the BB to be a raise. Get a [censored] life.

There's no call for such a spiteful response.

Yes, it's a raise. I just can't see how it is a RE-raise, that's all.

Yikes, I might need to find a new hobby. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I don't know the specific instance you are taking about, but if someone opens the pot for an amount larger than the minimum, many people consider that "coming in with/for a raise" where other nits say that the first bet into a pot is always a bet.

Ex. blinds 50/100, Chip comes in for 300, Annie makes in 900.

Some say chip bet three hundred and annie raised to 900, some say chip came in for a raise to 300 and annie reraised him to 900.

I don't really care. And there is no need to waste calories and brain cells on this. Poker has never been a game correct grammar, it is a game where some gets "beat" by someone who plays "bad".

Kinda like in NASCAR when they say a guy blew a "motor" when they really mean engine.
