Re: Has anyone encountered this strange rule anywhere?
[ QUOTE ]
I sent another E-Mail to the national organiser who claimed to not care what me or my mate Bob said, the rule would not be changed, nothing was wrong with the rule, the rule is commonly used online and at casinos, the organiser has worked in Vegas and seen the rule there, ...

Feel free to wave the BS flag. Which online rooms use this rule, Not PokerStars Not Full Tilt, Not Absolute, Not Party Poker (when we in the states were welcome...)
Which Casino in Vegas ? Granted Harrahs has made some strange rulings but event THEY wouldn't frack this one up.
Let me give you a list of casino's in the US casino's where I have played tournaments: Bellagio, Ceasers, Mirage, Harrahs, Orleans, Sahara, Grand in Tunica, Gold Strike, Horseshoe, Binions, Plaza (before their poker room modified their schedule), Gold Nugget, Sams Town. Your national organizer is mistaken with regard to No Limit betting rules.
The only thing I can think of is he's confusing Limit rules with No Limit. In a Limit game if a player cannot make the minimum bet he can go all in for what he has example 10/20 limit holdem, a player on 4th street only has 15.00 in his stack he can go in for 15 but I beleive (and limit junkies correct me if I'm wrong) players after him have to come in for the minimum bet or can raise to 35 ? is that right ?
