Message: [QUOTE="starfall, post: 406915, member: 7551"] Dorkus also has as point - if you're not involved in a hand and those involved seem to be in agreement regarding the amount bet, there's nothing to get involved in. TenBob, of course you can't literally put someone else all-in, but I've seen that kind of phrasing used in televised tournaments, and it has been taken to mean that you are raising exactly their opponents stack size when they've said something like 'I put you all in'. On a strategic note, I'm not sure this is often the best strategy, because it is much more likely to let someone else get involved in the pot with you. You would generally want to take it heads up. Otherwise you can have a main pot that you'll contest no matter what, and if you miss the flop a continuation bet help much. This can make for a relatively tricky flop to play. [/QUOTE]
