Message: [QUOTE="ElAngel, post: 315302, member: 3966"] I believe that there may be a rule about whether you can or cannot raise after a player has gone 'all-in' by an amount below the minimum raise. Please could you clarify this for me and I have included below the example that I experienced.************************************************************************************************I'm not sure if you've ever had any complaints like this one, but it had a great deal of effect on the outcome of the game. Since I can't predict how other players would have played the hand if things had gone .OK, here goes: I was dealt pocket aces in 2nd position. Blinds were 50/100. I raised $300. Player "A" is on the short stack and raises all-in with $313, as I had hoped. Player "B" calls the $313 from the big blind. At this point, I should have been given the option to re-raise, as I had been raised. This point is obviously important because A's are far less likely to hold up against 2 hands as 1, and I wanted to try to push "B" out and isolate against "A". As I stated earlier, I'm not sure how "B" would have reacted had I been able to move all-in, but there is a real possibility I could have pushed him off his hand, which happened to be 8s9s. When 2 spades flopped it made it much easier for him to call my post-flop all-in bet with the pot odds he was getting and the size of his stack. In any case, the turn brought the Ace of spades out, giving me a set, but giving him a flush. No help on the river, and out the door I went. I hope this all makes sense.. I'd just like to know why I wasn't given the option to re-raise and, if it's a problem, maybe help get it fixed. Thanks!Tony [/QUOTE]
