The worst floor decision of ALL TIME! Aladdin Poker Room

It needs to be at least a half-raise. Basically the other player would need to be all-in for $60 or more in this situation

In NL or PL it must be at least a full raise to reopen the action. The half bet is strictly a limit rule. example. player bets $50, next player calls $50 third goes all-in for $99, first players cannot raise becasue the all-in did not have a FULL raise. I am aware by law in AC they play NL by limit rules and there are some other places where they play NL by limit rules, but most of those other places it is a matter of management being unfamiliar with the rules and procedures for big bet poker.

Hi Rick:

I agree this was a shot and the decision seems reasonable to me.

Best wishes,
Mason

This is funny: you were willing to let someone else get screwed by a dealer error but you are FURIOUS when you're the one on the losing end.

You shot an angle and got what you deserved. Too bad for you the angle was such that your shot ricocheted and hit you square in the forehead.

while this is a bit more excuseable as it occurred in a NYC poker club, I had a dealer tell me that in a 4/8 game, a restraddle was to $16 (first straddle to 8, second straddle to 16). it then took every manager in the place to convince him he was wrong and he said "everywhere else in the world it's twice the straddle). apparently he's not aware that there's a structure where the betting goes in increments. I found that blatant stupidity and lack of any common sense or knowledge of the game pretty disgusting

Your complaining about taking a shot. You know the rules of poker plain and simple. Way to go. You just came on a public forum and admited your a cheat, and then have the audacity to complain about it? In my experience there are no concrete floor decisions. They're all dictated by the circumstances surrounding the situation. The floor may have had a little more experience than you gave him credit for. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You don't have a restraddle very often in Southern Indiana, (at least I don't see it much) but so far in a 5-10 game the straddle has been ten and the restraddle has been twenty.

All this stuff is cardroom specific but there is no excuse for a dealer not to know how it works at the place he deals.

The only thing I'd agree with is that you sound like a douche bag (spelling?).

Lay off our boy and make yourself a floor person for a second.
Name any circumstance when you should take money out of the pot and give it back to someone.
