Re: management argue
With all due respect to the card barns, I feel that they are wrong. I think the Hawaiin Gardens rule is better, but problematic as well.
The "double the bet rule" has merits, but takes away from some strategy aspects of the game.
If the bet must be at least double the prvious bet, does this apply from one betting street to the next? For example, 100-200 blinds,if a player raises to 600 pre flop, and gets reraised to 1200, does that mean the minimum post flop bet is 200, or 1200?
Also, by forcing players to double the previous bet, it changes the strategy, in that a plyer is prohibited from making a bet that comes closer to the "perfect bet" principle(a bet that gives the opponent incorrect calling odds, but small enough that the opponent will stil call).
