Re: I\'m with you Rick and here\'s what happened...

I remember this hand. I would have to believe that he would contracted to call whatever raise Noli decides to make due to his verbally saying call in response to Noli declaring raise. Noli has all the best of this situation being all he said was "raise" without declaring how much and now can raise any amount he wants. He obviously decided on the minimum due to the fact he was bluffing and his opponent announced call. You agree?

That was my initial thought. But my friend pointed out that Shoton's call was not "in turn". Generally, verbal action in turn is binding, out of turn it is just table talk. So if Noli had the nuts and put Shoton all in with a massive raise (bigger than initially planned), and Shoton a merely good hand not able to stand a big raise, could Shoton back out of his commitment? I'm not sure.
It's probably been discussed before. The way I've set up my browser I'm having trouble looking up the older archives. I might try again during the Patriots-Miami halftime.
