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 don't know about the rules in cardrooms, but I encourage my home game players to worry more about the chips they are betting by saying "I raise all-in" or "I'm all-in!".

Bettors only have control over their own chips, not those of their opponents. If they put all of their own chips in, we get the idea.

They don't even have to move any chips. If the short stack calls, we worry about counting chips if they win.

I think that's okay but just to be clear if there are others still still in the hand the bettor has committed to putting in chips equal to what the guy has that the bettor proclaimed he's "putting All-in". All of the bettor's chips are not at risk as he didn't say "I'm All-in". This would only matter if the hand wasn't heads-up.

You ought to be fine with "I'm putting you all in." There may be a nit that objects, but you ought to be on the happy side of any ruling...as long as you don't say the word "call" before "all in."

Don't see why not --- but the best thing to do would be to ask the cardroom manager.
