Rules ??

[bennymacca]

sorry, i meant pre-flop

yeah i think you're right, its a lot easier to explain in real life.

when i have chips in front of me, i probably intuitively know what to do anyway, just hard to try and explain on a forum.

cheers,
ben

Brett, in your scenario you need to say what blind levels you're currently at. This will make more sense once you have added this.
benny the cunt, there are so many rules and little nuances within those rules that you will never know everything required about the game. I suggest that if you really want to, study up and read the rulebook and take notes on everything you don't fully understand. Then do a post on here and I will explain the rules and different scenarios for each specific rule.

[Brett Kay]

my example was post flop. So blind levels become slightly irrelevant with lead bets. But for anyone confused 100/200 Seems like a good size.

Don't you just hate the big stacks though

Brett.

I'd still lose with 100/200 blinds and a 2 billion stack

Might take a little time though

Especially if it limit holdem too .

hey bob, player 3 cannot check in the situation, he must call the $500 bet, raise or fold. He would be the first person to act as he was the next official person to act. Then normal progression of betting, play will resume.
In defense of Ross, who was than "wannabe" TD, he was actually told by a Senior TD, "that u can check it down, and any bet out of turn stays in the pot". Which is obviously, seriously wrong..

Hi there Dakota. I hope you don't think I was dissin you as it was the furtherest thing on my mind. I consider you a M8 of mine (aww, shucks) or at least a good friend.

However, when you say player 3 (Michelle) cannot check? Is it because she was the first person after the blinds and she actually has to either fold, call my bet of $500. YES?

I'm sure that's what you actually said on the night. Sorry if I wrote it incorrectly in my post.

So, if she wanted bet more than the $500 what happens to my $500 if I don't want to call?

Hey, in regards to Ross and calling him a wannabe TD. I must say at the time in question he was really peeing me off with his interpretation of the rule.

And when he tried to control the table with, I'm an Assistant TD and I'll be a TD next week, I gave him the Wannabe TD tag.

Unfortunately, he believed his previous TD's interpretation of the ruling was correct. After considerable time he eventually took your interpretation as being correct and we all supported your decision.

Unfortunately, when I was writing my post I didn't know his name and to prick your memory of the event I used the same wannabe TD tag I gave him on the night.

And for all those who are reading this saga on the felt. I can honestly say that both Ross and myself and the rest of our table settled down and had a bloody good night of poker.

I don't think I'd recognise Ross even if he was sitting next to me. But, I'm sure he would make himself known and say hello next time we are in the same building.

Coz that's what it's all about. Meeting and enjoying people of all kinds,,,,,,, even me!! LOL

[bennymacca]

From the rulebook - this makes sense.

In tournament play, an all-in wager less than the minimum bet does not reopen the betting for any player who has already acted and is in the pot for all previous bets. A player who has not yet acted (or had the betting reopened to him by another player’s action), facing an all-in wager of less than half a bet, may fold, call, or complete the wager. (An example of a full raise on a $200 betting round is raising a $150 all-in bet to $350.) Multiple all-in wagers, each of an amount too small to individually qualify as a raise, still act as a raise and reopen the betting if the resulting wager size to a player qualifies as a raise.

hey bobs, i would never ever think that u were dissin me in that situation, lol.

The reason why player 3 cannot check is because ur out of turn bet must stand, so she has to at least match ur out of turn bet to stay in the hand.
And yes, if player 3 were to raise, than player 4, that being u bobsticle, would either have to call or fold to player 3s' raise. And knowing u Bob, u would prob fold. Even if u had pocket A's, lol

Hey Bob,

Didn't mean to pee you off. I was just keeping to the rules as I was told. Obviously what I was told is wrong, and the bet does stand requireing everyone to call/fold/re-raise.

As for the wannabe TD - you're correct. I was a wannabe TD However, now that I am a TD - you're banned. No, just kidding I'm glad that you had a good night of poker in the end, and apologies if I tried to "control the table"

[Bob B]

No need for an apology Ross as I'm sure you meant well at the time.

Most people think I'm a little on tilt at times possibly due to my size and what ever Garth said in one of his posts LOL.

Some people like DAKOTA can be so unkind LOL.

I was once a good solid player and now he has turned me into an allin ogre LOL.

As far as folding pocket Aces, not now, not ever. well maybe not ever LOL.

What venues do you TD at Ross????????
