Re: Tough Spot, Dealer Forces Me to Call the Floor
[ QUOTE ]
Guy makes the mistake, dealer says thats not enough, he clearly embarrassed tries to pull back the bet.
I said to the dealer as he was pulling his bet back "that was a raise."
Guy to my right says "thats not how the Venetian works."
Dealer (with confidence) says "ok its just a call."
I ask for the floor and the floor states the half of the raise rule and forces him to put in the full raise.

Note that this "half or more of the correct raise is a raise" is a floor guideline for correcting short raises when a mini raise is short of a full raise and the stacks are deep.
Most card clubs and casinos use this guideline but there are exceptions. For example, at Hawaiian Gardens Casino anything short of a full raise is a "fouled bet" - of course this is only enforced when a floor is called and he understands the house rule. Otherwise dealers and players will usually allow corrections to slightly short mini-raises.
