Default Ruling please

So there is a cash game after a tourney amongst friends, the action is 6 handed.

The hand is folded to the CO, who raises 3xbb. The Button folds followed by the SB, who mulls over his hand for a few, makes his action, and the BB folds. The dealer asks if the action is right, and is told he is ok to flop.

The flop came 7Q7, and the SB then goes to say that the CO never called his "re-raise." The SB re-raised the CO, but did not say anything, and even allowed the flop to proceed when asked if ok. Whats the ruling of the hand here? The SB placed chips in the pot unannouced after being raised, so is that a raise under the "any chip in the pot pf not said to be a raise is a call" princple, or is the SB right in his claim he should just get the hand outright?

HAHAHA! That SB is a funny guy... or was that SoB?

No raise preflop, action stands as a call and extra chips come back out of the pot if necessary

Extra chips stay in the pot as a lesson to protect the action.

IMO, call. He failed to protect his action by not stopping when the dealer asked, "OK?" He also gets kicked in the nuts.

I agree w/ the other posters - the SB did not protect his action when the dealer asked to flop the cards and was told it was ok. However, as it is, if the SB put in his raise in one motion the action should be considered a raise, but given the situation where the dealer was ok'd to flop the cards and SB failed to take note of his raise before the flop was placed, it should count as a call and his raise returned to his stack.

The SB was the house, and frankly is a bit older than 95% of the players, hence he automatically feels hes better than us. He pulled the "Ive been to Vegas, have you?" routine, and proceeded like normally to donk off his chips.

Fire the dealer, he failed to pay attention! He is suppose to be in control of the game!

I don't follow. Did the Sb put in one oversized chip? If so he called the original raise and there's no problem. If he put multiple chips in, then the principle you cite is inapplicable--when you put in more than one chip that is the size of your bet and you do not have to say raise.

Assuming he put in multiple chips that would comprise a legitimate raise, I don't see a rule that covers this situation in Robert's Rules of poker. The idea that SB automatically wins the pot is ridiculous, however.

IMO you could go one of three ways here. 1. Allow the CO, (who has now seen the flop) to complete the PF action and either call the SB's raise or fold and then continue with the flop action if he calls--(Sb can check or bet then action on Co).

2. You can proceed as normally except that Co will have to match the PF raise in addition to any other action when its his turn--so if Sb checks Co cannot check behind but must match the PF raise. If Sb checks and Co wishes to bet he must put in the PF call plus his bet and SB just has to match the bet and not the PF call. If Sb bets out, and Co calls or raises he must call or raise plus put in the PF call.

3. The Sb gets his raise back before action proceeds on the flop.

I like number three. Mistakes happen, and this was one of them. Number three does the least violence to the proper action of the rest of the hand.

In either one or two, the the CO can simply fold and the Sb loses any benefit from his PF raise. Too bad for him.
