Re: THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE
uhh i thought if you open the pot you are raising, I think everybody does this and if i were to say "bet" at 1-2 and make it 10$ that would sound dumb imo

Re: THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE
The first bet is actually the raise from $0.

Re: THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE
people just aren't familiar enough with poker when they do this.
it's because they feel that the initial bet is a "raise" because it's raising (increasing) the already existing pot. This does tilt me a bit when pretty experienced players that should know better do it, but it doesn't deserve a thread. So you fail.

Re: THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE
I have done it to get into the head of the fish on my line. I pretend my hand is so strong that I want to raise with it and was so excited that I didn't notice that he didn't bet.
In other words, acting strong when I am weak. It rarely works but I piss off people like OP. Wonderful side effect.

Re: THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE
This is std home game hell tiltsville. I like that people get this little terminology bit wrong, lets me know immediately they dont... understand.
What gets me is even if you correct them or the dealer does they are sure to do it 10 bizillion more times in the next 20 mins
