Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2038866, member: 23910"] Correct, it applies if you're the last to act in the hand. So in sam's example if the hand is heads up and the other player leads then yes, the button is required to raise because if they just called, that'd be the last action. If there were three players left in the hand, say the big blind, a middle position player and the button, middle position bets and it's the button's action, [B]then[/B] they've got the option of just calling with the nuts because there's still the BB to act and you could argue that you were hoping the BB would raise, or you were hoping you'd get paid off by the BB as well. Whether that's the [I]best[/I] play is another question, but it would be legal. [/QUOTE]
