please tell me why this isn't an error in party's software

why does WinstonSomme get to raise again after DEETEE goes all in for .73 more than a $2 bet?

Umm....Isn't it POT Limit? Can't you bet the size of the pot at any time?

do you know what makes it happen? why haven't they fixed it?

Interesting. I have played much Pot and NL ring games on party and never encountered that. I'd email their support about it and see what their response is.

why wouldn't it be? isn't the .73 cents a raise?

[OrcaDK]

Why is this a bug? Winston doesn't raise himself, he just calls. If he had raised, he should naturally not be able to reraise, but since he just called, action is opened to him again.

[Arbogast]

It's a bug because the action should not be re-opened on a "raise" that is less than the amount of the original raise.

The all in player is effectively calling, not raising, and therefor Winston shouldn't have the option or re-raising.

This is definately a glitch in the software.

so WinstonSomme should only be able to call .73 cents? i see what you're saying, but it doesn't make sense to me. what if the guy had been all-in for one cent less than the previous bet. that would essentially have been a full raise, but, by what you're saying, later players, like WinstonSomme, would only be able to call... how is that fair?
