iPoker quirks..
 

Having only played about 5k hands on iPoker- i've noticed some 'quirks' in their software..
1) Weird SB posting OOP.. I dont know how this works- but i've noticed people posting the SB OOP then being allowed to call/fold to match the BB..
2) Capped betting round in NL..? This hand came up today:
_________________________________________________
$0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG (<font color="#0000cc">$61.56</font>)
UTG+1 (<font color="#0000cc">$104.70</font>)
CO (<font color="#0000cc">$121.20</font>)
BTN (<font color="#0000cc">$100.60</font>)
Hero (<font color="#0000cc">$112.00</font>)
BB (<font color="#0000cc">$28.07</font>)

Pre-flop: ($1.5, 6 players) Hero is SB Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls $1, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $2</font>, <font color="#777777">2 folds</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $9.5</font>, BB calls $8.5, UTG calls $8.5, <font color="#777777">UTG+1 folds</font>

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($30.5, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $15</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB goes all-in $18.57</font>, UTG calls $18.57, Hero calls $3.57
_________________________________________________

It wouldnt let me raise anymore on this street- I could only call the $3.57 ...

3) Not receiving any cards in the SB- and still being asked if I would like to call or fold the BB.

anyone else experiencing these problems? anything to add?
*only played Titan and noIQ..

i play pretty much only on CD poker, (the $50 FOrt Knox Jackpot SNGs) and their lobby has gotten so slow in the last 2 months it takes ages for the SNGs to appear and they are full quite often

The capped calling is normal, you as original bettor cannot reraise a less-than-minimum raise.

oh ok.. didn't know that.

Re: iPoker quirks..
 

Yeah that isn't a betting cap, just that his raise wasn't a full raise so it couldn't be re-raised. If you were allowed to raise it, now that would be a problem.

The posting SB is usually when the SB was missed but the BB was played, maybe timing out on the BB or busting out and no re-buying in time. Not sure if the blind is supposed to be dead when they come back. I know that if you missed both you post a live BB and a dead SB.

Re: iPoker quirks..
 

I know at some live poker rooms if you miss just the SB it is live. In my experience at most rooms the SB dead.

One other thing I forgot to mention is their raise system is differant to other poker sites.. its a 'raise' not 'raise to' (ie it adds your raise amount to what you have in front)..
why would they program it like this?..

Yeah a little different and takes a while to get used to but I really like it.
