In a Pot Limit Omaha game with 1/2 blinds and a $5 bring-in...if someone wants to straddle, what is it?
Secondly because I really don't understand Pot Limit, with 1/2 blinds what would be the pot raise? |

A pot raise as first person in a pot would be 5 dollar raise, so the raiser puts in 7 dollars. A max pot raise is calculated by the price to call the current bet + the entire pot including size including your call.

So in a standard $1-$2 game the max opening raise is to $8. have not dealt a $1-$2 pot limit game with a $5 bring in, but I would expect that in such a game you would treat both blinds as completed to $5 and then the opening raise would be to $20. |

In cash games it may be "traditional", but in every on-line PLO situation i have played in we dont act as if sb has completed. This includes MTT, SNGs and cash.

And yet even in casinos people should be able to do basic math. My point is that assuming the sb completes seems like a foolish calculation since with any PLO game that has preflop raising SB will almost certainly be tightest position. For a 1/2 game I do not see how assuming a sb complete will make it any easier to calculate pot sizes.

Well, in this particular game they made the straddle $10.

Caesars LV on Sunday afternoon?
I thought 10 was the correct answer. Five would also be acceptable. The min. bring in being 5, the straddle should be twice that. A live blind bring-in doesn't really make sense to me - I think it should be double - but I know people that view 1/2 5 to come in games as similar to a 1/2/5 three blind game, but without the third blind. In that case, $5 makes sense. $4 makes no sense to me, as it is below the minimum bring-in. |
