Re: silly question with some debate on it last night at a home game.
[ QUOTE ]
Okay, a couple of nights a week I play in a cash game with some friends and they run it as a $1 "big blind" game. There is no SB, just the BB. The question that came up was in regards to a straddle bet (making it 2 bucks to go), and what would be the next raise. Would the next bet have to be at least 3 or would it be four? This was brought up when a player announced raise, put out 3 dollars and reached back for more chips. The ruling at the house was that the raise was to 3 dollars, and that anything more would have been a string bet. I disagreed and said that the person would have had to make it at least 4 to go. Am I an idiot, or was I correct? [/ QUOTE ] Idiot. Okay, maybe a little harsh. But you were wrong. The bet was $1 (in the blind). The raise was $1 (to a total of $2). The next raise must be at least equal the previous raise. A $2 bet raised at least $1 makes for a $3 minimum.

Re: silly question with some debate on it last night at a home game.
You sure? did you read the other back and forth about this?
What rules source are you using, if you're saying it's $3 for an NL game?
