What's the min. raise ??

[SuuPRlim]

pretty sure its 20K

I was given to understand once that if the under raise is under 50% of a bb then the min raise stands to be 2x bb still, but if it isnt, then it has to be 1bb on top of the under raise?
leeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeel

that doesn`t really make sense as by definition an underraise is under the 50% mark. over 50% and it`s not an underraise, it`s a raise

Initial raise to 17k (10k+7k) is an under-raise, I was told (ages ago mind) that if the under-raise represented less than 50% of 1bb (e.g. in this case 14k) then the min re-raise would be to 20k, if however the under-raise was +50% of 1bb (i.e. the 17k in this example) then the minimum re-raise would be the total bet +1 bb(making it 27k here, 10k +7k +10k.

I wouldn't be at all suprised if it is 20k though cos most of the places I play are terribly run.

Just seen claw reply in much more simple terms, but iv written in now so fk it il post

His all in is an under-raise so doesn't count for the purposes of raising/re-opening action. It does however change the bet facing a player, and that bet is now 17k. The minimum raise is still 10k. 17k+10k = 27k.

This.

[gatso]

yes it does.  under raise is raise by less than 100% of the bb.  less than 50% would be less than 15k in this instance.

you what?

you what, you what, you what?

[StuartHopkin]

LOL

I saw Gatso's 'you what?'

Read what he put and thought what? So had my own 'you what?'

Pretty sure its an underraise even if its 99% of a raise?

Might be wrong though.

yeah it is, but someone was saying they thought the rule on raising an underraise was different if the underraise was for less than 50% of a bb (i.e less than a SB).  Gatso didn't see how that was possible.

My head hurts?

Does Gatso's post not say that if its over 50% of a of a raise then its not an underraise?

yes but Gatso is wrong.

[gatso]

I may have confused myself. not really sure what we`re talking about now, think I`m mixing limit and nl rules

my you what to claire and my questioning of suuprlim still stand though as underraises are definitely not measured relative to the bb except in unraised pots preflop, yeah you lucked out this time and that`s what we`re talking about right but you won`t be so lucky next time

pretty sure hopkin`s wrong about something too

[Claw75]

well, it's simplified in this case because it's an unopened pot pre-flop and the shover has less than 2bbs.  In any case though, an underaise will be any raise that amounts to less than 100% of the amont required to mini raise, so the same logic applies.


 I still have no idea how much the minimum re-raise is though.

a mini raise is what happens when you type too quickly and can't remember if you were going to say 'minimum raise' or 'min raise'.  I like 'mini raise' though - gonna use that from now on.

Guys, what are you all talking about here. We're on about a NLHE game, not a LHE game. All this 50% of a raise talk is nonsense. You could shove for 99.9% of the raise requirement and it's still an underraise.

I've found the rule in RRs (don't I love them). Rather than c/p I'll just paste the example to show the point:

For example, if the minimum bet is $100, and a player goes all-in on the flop for $20, a player may fold, call $20, or raise to at least a total of $120.

It's not quite the same thing as our example but it illustrates the idea of the bet facing us changing. In the OP the bet facing us is 17k. The min raise is 10k. Making the total min raise bet size 27k.

1) lose the bloody blue
2) stop aftertiming rulings. we've already settled this one
