Re: Ruling? when does an allin cap a pot?
In NL the minimum raise is usually the size of the last bet - a min raise doubles the size of the last bet. In this case the bet was $300 meaning that the next bet has to be at least $600 with one exception: If there is a player with less than the minimum bet amount he may go AI without reopening the betting. I know this is how it works on AP cash and tourney play. I'm pretty sure it works the same way on other sites.
This makes perfect sense to me. Suppose player that pushed had $301 instead of $513. He should be able to put the extra $1 in without reopening the betting. Also, whether or not a player with less than the minimum bet amount pushes or not - he is effectively AI as he is getting a minimum of 3 to 1 to call on the next street (probably much better odds).
