Default Re: Straddle minimum raise?

I still think that post flop the betting reverts back to the structure of the game. In this case that would be $3.

Yea, to clarify when Robert says bring-in bring-in refers to preflop. Some games (haven't seen many this way recently) will have blind of x and 2x but nobody can call 2x they have to bring in for at least 4x if they want to play.

Ok, that's not my reading of 14.2, which starts, "The minimum bet size is the amount of the minimum bring-in, unless the player is going all-in. The minimum bring-in is the size of the big blind unless the structure of the game is preset by the house to some other amount (such as double the big blind). The minimum bet remains the same amount on all betting rounds."

14.2 includes an example on the flop where the bring-in is $100, and a $20 push could only be raised to at least $120.

14.15 includes, " A straddle bet sets a new minimum bring-in; it is not treated as a raise."

Your reading of it is fine. This business with the min bet on the flop is something I have never seen come up, ever. I mean who wants to bet less than the blind post flop? I see no problem with saying that on the flop you have to bet at least the amount of the straddle.

Well, in reality you shouldn't even be playing NL if you're going to min bet the flop, let alone worry what the min bet is after a straddle. Just quit playing poker and don't humor them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
