Just wondered if a few people could give me their take on this ruling last night. It didn't have any significance on my game so there's no story to go with it, but I've now heard two different rulings on it and am not sure whats right.
This is what happened...
Ok, so blinds 150/300. One guy double the bet to 600. It passes round to the BB and he annouces raise.
What is the minimum he can raise?
I thought he had to double the total bet, which is 600, so his raise would be 600 with 600 for a 1200 bet in total.
However, it was ruled he could actually raise 300 on top, so it was 300 for him to call with 300 more on top for 900 bet in total.
Both players had plenty of chips by the way, so they weren't moving all-in.
Like I say, no huge argument to solve and there was no significance to this, but I'd like to see what the correct way of doing this is for future reference. (not that I can ever see a sitation where I want to go 600 with 300 but anyway...)

that's right - the minimum re-raise is the BB, i.e. 300 chips

what he said! a raise = a called bet of 300 and raise of 300 so a re-raise would be a call of the initial call + the initial raise (= 600) + a further raise of 300. clear as mud! |

So they could just keep raising each other in 300s until all their chips were in?

yes - but then if one of them were to change the amount of the raise (eg 500) then the betting would have to continue with minimums of 500.

errr. -to call the re-raise it is 900, which is a raise of 600 so a third player would need to call the 900 and a riase of a further 600 (i think) thus making it 1500 to go.

The reraise is a call of 600 and raise of 300 isn't it?

BB is the reraiser so 300 is to call the raise and 600 is the min reraise........total 1200

it's not hard, if someone raises 300 then u have to re-raise at least 300.
Forget the total bet.

What he said. A third person can also raise 300 behind the first two. |
