...maybe room dependent but foxwoods you have to double the initial bet otherwise its not a raise and betting is not reopened

This is true for NL holdem. For limit holdem, a raise is usually half or more the bet for the round.

You are correct that in NL the minimum raise would be to $95

The rules for how much of an all-in bet "re-opens the betting" varies NL vs Limit, and from room to room. In San Jose Limit games, if the bet is $16, going all-in for $30 does not re-open the betting, and any allowed "raise" would be to $32 (raising the initial $16 bet by $16).

What a CF of a thread.

Op is asking, "Why isn't the 3rd player allowed to raise?"

The answer is, "Because whoever ruled that he cannot, is an idiot."

Correct - the all-in raise must be at least 50% of the amount required to raise to re-open the betting.

[/ QUOTE ]

wouldnt this only be if it were heads up?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's heads up and someone's all in, why would it matter how to re-open the betting?

Ok, let's say the bet for a round of limit holdem is $40. The first player to act has $15. He bets and is all-in for $15. So can the next player raise to $55 can he only bet $40? What if the first player had $21?

In San Jose (Bay101 and Garden City), both situations, the next player can fold, call the all-in wager, or make a $40 bet. There is no "raise" option.

Actually there are 2 different answers to your 2 questions here. In the 1st part if player one goes all in for $15 then another player can complete the bet to $40.
In the second problem if player one has $21 left then he can go all in $20 and the other players can call the bet or raise to $60.
Most poker rooms do not allow the $1 to play for all in on a red chip game.

In a limit game such as what you describe the next player can complete the bet to $40 (I'm assuming this is after a flop and that we aren't dealing with a blind)(his only options here are fold, call $15, or complete to $40)

if in fact the allin bet was $21 then the next player would not be able to complete the bet, but he could raise.is options would be fold, call $21 or raise to $61. In actuallity the all in bet would probably be limite dto $20 in most rooms the last $1 wouldn't play. the raiose would tyherefore be to $60

Ok, I got it. A less than half opening bet is almost like a check except you have to meet it if you want to stay in the hand as a minimum or make a full bet if you want to increase the amount.

However, a guy with less than half a bet on the table maybe has only half a brain.
