Question On Floor Ruling

Nalapoint1 · #1 09-11-2005, 08:07 AM

B&M MTT. Blinds are t2000/t4000.I am in the pot with both blinds. I am UTG +3.I have t20,000. SB t25,000. BB t500.
Checked to BB who goes all in for t500.I call the bet and the floor is called over for a ruling. The other players not in the hand claim I have to bet a minimum of t4000 because there is still the SB to act behind me. This is a No Limit game.

The floor rules I must bet the Big Blind as a minimum.Before I explain the logic for my argument I would like to hear some other comments please.

PS: I did place third in this MTT and I thank all of you for that. I have made 4 final tables out of 13 B&M MTTs that I have entered this year.

floor is right, you have to atleast call the BB of 4000.

There isnt any logic in that ruling and it gives the BB an unfair advantage that the other players in the pot dont have.

So it gets checked to BB who goes all in for t500.Blinds are t2000/t4000.I call his all in but am forced to bet min. t4000.SB calls t4000 which is what happened. SB and I both get t3500 back from dealer .Where I think it is unfair is that the BB gets a chance to bet t500 , because that is all he has left,into a t12,000 pot.What happens later in the game when blinds are t100,000/t200,000.Three of us see a flop with t600,000 in the pot.Checks to BB who goes all in for his last t10,000. I have a hand I dont want to call t200,000 with and same with SB but we will call t10,000.Why should the BB have the chance to bet less than the other players?

This thread has me both confused and humored [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think maybe the real question is what are you doing playing a hand where y'all are leaving the BB with 1/8th of a bb left behind [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I was slow playing AA and didnt want SB to fold which occured on the turn.The hands are not relevant to question though.

Sounds like the proper ruling to me. Yeah, all-in can sometimes give you a bit of an advantage, which is why there are minimum buy-ins and such.

I'm not sure if I know what you're trying to say. But if it's you limping, the SB calls, and the BB checks leaving 500 behind who then bets the 500 after the SB checks the flop, yes, you can just call the 500.
