Trickier Rule Clarifications

so what is it then? your above post is ambiguous as to what the stand in 888pl is

[Bob B]

ok so technically a minimum legal raise is 50%, but for simplicity's sake its a full bet

is this right?

If a player puts in a raise of 50% or more of the previous bet but less than the minimum raise, he or she will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed. In no-limit and pot limit, an all-in bet of less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who has already acted.

benny the cunt's talking in regards to an all-in bet, Bob

[David]

That paragraph is slightly ambiguous, in that "he/she" is referring to the player going all in.

i am talking about someone all in for 80% of a min raise

is this a legal raise in this case?

garth's post was a bit ambiguous.

He does say "raise" Scott

It's a legal raise in that it's a raise but it doesn't change the action for the people already in from the original call.

In no-limit and pot limit, an all-in bet of less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who has already acted.

A legal raise at all times is a FULL COMPLETE RAISE.

I didn't realise you had gone back to the original query, benny the cunt. It looked like you were refering to the size of a bet that constitutes a raise.
