Question regarding the Double The Raise rule...
Which is the correct re-raise regarding the "double the raise" rule in no-limit (for this purpose, no-limit hold'em) games.
Blinds $50/$100 Initial raise is $250 (minimum re-raise is $400). If the next player re-raises to $500 from the initial raise of $250, what's the minimum raise by the next player? a) $750 ($250 + $500) There's a raise of $250, which will be added to the current bet of $500, making the total $750. This is the way I understand the "double the raise" rule. b) $900 ($400 + $500) There's a re-evaluation of the raise from the big blind of the $100 is $500-$100=$400. On top of the $500 re-raise would mean the next minimum re-raise is $900 |

Re: Question regarding the Double The Raise rule...
The first raise was $150 (BB/$100 + $150 = $250). Therefore, the next raise must be $150 or more. If the next player raises to $750, he has made a raise of $500. In order to raise (ignoring for the moment a player with fewer chips going all in), the next player must raise by at least $500. The total bet therefore would be at least $1250.

Re: Question regarding the Double The Raise rule...
The correct answer is "a". To my knowledge, this was universal in Vegas until recently.
For better or worse, Planet Hollywood has adopted a seemingly insane rule that states the raise must be double the previous bet. So a player bets 100 on the flop and the next player raises to 250. A player wanting to raise the bet of 250 must make it a minimum of 500 (not 400). Strange but true. (at least as of a couple months ago) |

First one (what I thought to be more common) is "double the raise" rule and the second is "double the bet" rule. Seems like Planet Hollywood adopted the "double the bet" rule. I still think that a) is the correct answer but I've had b) suggested by a tournament director who does fairly large tournaments. |

I believe San Pablo has the nutty 'double the bet' rule. I've only played there a few times, and when I tried to quietly correct a dealer on a min-raise, I was told StFU, it's double the bet.

[/ QUOTE ] I know a couple of places that use it. I have never worked with it, but someone whose opinion on these things I trust told me it is the better rule and I should consider switching. |
