Default Re: Has anyone encountered this strange rule anywhere?

Nuts. You can call the 1100 or raise to 2000 minimum, or any higher amount. Or you can fold.

The fact that this rule isn't written down anywhere is your first clue that the organiser is crazy. Is there any other place you can play?

According to Robert's Rules you could call the 1100 or raise the minimum amount (which would be 1000 when the BB is 1000) so the amount of 2000 that they state is the minimum is an amount that Robert Ciaffone says is too little, my understanding of Robert's Rules is that you could call the 1100 or make a valid raise to 2100 (or more).

After hearing the crazy rule I have put some effort into researching the standard rules and have downloaded the latest version (10) of Robert's Rules off his website (http://www.pokercoach.us/). Not that it makes me an expert or anything. I really don't see the arguements that this organiser has given me as having any credibility unless anyone else can confirm they have seen this particular dopey rule somewhere out there.
