Default I\'ll put you all-in

Hi.

In my home game some people like to say "I'll put you all-in" when playing HU vs a shorter-stack, rather than just "All-in". Is this acceptable in cardrooms?

Cheers.

You'd probably get away with it but why not say 'raise' first? I was playing in a cash game recently and a guy said to me 'I'll call you all in' after I raised. I think he ment to reraise all in but wasn't allowed. Needless to say the flop had a K for my KK and his AA went down in flames...

It would change the game a bit if you could call somebody all in wouldn't it? Just wait for AA and order your opponent to put all his chips in!

[/ QUOTE ]Why wouldn't it be? Is it unclear? Is it an angle? I agree that it's a tiny bit dramatic, but that's all. It'll put the last of the small-stack's chips in the middle, but the way I see it, that's the small-stack's fault, not the raiser's. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"I put you all in" is not the same as "I bet the amount you have in front of you" or Just bet enough so that if he calls he/she will be all in.


Saying "I put you all in" implies you are making his call/bet for him/her which is improper.

When someone says "I put you all-in" what they usually are implying is that they want to bet an amount equal to the number of chips that person has in front of them.

Of course they are implying that, however it is incorrect, because you are assuming his action will be to move all in. The correct wording will be "I bet the amount you have in front of you" or "I move all in"

Wrong. You are not moving all-in, you are betting the amount the other player has, which is a signifigant difference if other people are still in the hand. There is no assumption that the other player will call, you are just making this up. Have you ever been confused by this statement in a real game?
