blonde poker forum

Played a live comp 2day and come across this ruling:

blinds 200/400... Passes to button who procedes to make it 700...
Players at the table ask if that is classed as a raise..dispute between
 players and the dealer and a ruling is called.

TD determines that the original raise stands at 700

As always I would assume the raise would have to be
made up to 800..

Thoughts please. 

LOL wat?

It's a min raise.

Is TD familiar with the game of poker at all?

lol

should have been ruled as an all in imo

Thought this was going to be the one about if the BB is 100 and someone raises to 300, then someone min re-raises do they reraise it another 300 or another 200, which would have been interesting as I'm still not sure of the answer.

However it was clearly just made up instead. Unless of course you were playing at your local pub, where rules are irrelevant.

100 -> 300 -> 500 -> 700 -> 900 are legal bets

not sure if I've ever mentioned this before but it's different in ireland. 100>300>600>1200

i thought it was the most absurd thing ive seen as a ruling b4....had alot of respect for TD up to this point....not sure what was going through his
mind but was apparently in the list of card room rules...jokes imo

Ask to see the written rules then. You know it's wrong so you get to look good when you're proven correct.

If you're wrong just play somewhere else cus it's a crap cardroom with piss poor rules.

This ruling is complete and utter tosh imo
if it wasn't Luton G I wouldn't believe it happened

So sick how this guy gets a  [?] Good wage - when he really as no idea about the job. If I was on the table no way would I be letting it be the final ruling either, even more so if I was in the hand.

Name the card room? Or am I right - is at a pub league? :)

The TD just made a stupendous cock up on the ruling owing to a misunderstanding of the change in raising that had been applied. It has been clarified. Sad that the dealers have to be the ones to explain the rules, but there you are. It shan't happen again.

did this really happen at luton?

In the td's defence
I have read that in some european countries they allow players to raise the same increments from small to big blinds.

so if the blinds were 200/400 you could raise to 600 if you like

YES it certainly did!

Last nite at 1k/2k I tried to raise it to 700 but Geoge wouldn't let me;
doh. I was hoping everyone would fold and I'd pick up the blinds.

lol, I like that you tried to raise to less than the sb, shame it didn't work

I never cease to be amazed at things that happen at luton
