Default A rules question

Maybe this is better in another forum. If it is let me know. It happened at a home game and I'm sure someone in this forumn has had it come up in their game as well.

Anyways, the situation is:

I raise to $3. The player next to me who has only $5.25 left reraises all in for $2.25 more. Two callers and it is back to me.

My question is, does his all in re-open the action? Or is it closed since he did not raise me an amount equal to my original raise? I could have sworn I've heard that if the re-raise was more than half of my original raise then betting is still open. The two callers disagreed and said it was closed since it wasn't 2x my raise.

Thanks,

Billy

You're friends are probably way better poker players than you, and you should just go with what they say. A fish doesn't make the rules, he just follows them. (fish)

If it is a limit game the betting is reopened to you. (raise more than half of normal raise all-in)

If it is a no-limit game, it is not. (Requires a full legal raise to reopen the betting.)

This post happens like once a month, and everytime, there is not enough detail.

Is this preflop? if so, what are the blinds? if it's a 1/1 game or something like that, that should reopen the betting preflop. NOT ENOUGH INFO!

If this is postflop, then his all-in does not re-open the action for you. The half the original raise rule is for limit only. In no limit, the raise must be twice the original bet. However, if this is preflop, and the blinds are .50/1, then you can raise again, since you raised the $1 BB to $3, for a raise of $2, and then the next player raised $2.25 to T$5.25.

But it is not right. As said previously, if this is preflop, it is very likely that the action is still open in a NL game.

Action is not opened in NL, being preflop or postflop has absolutely NOTHING to do with it

This is correct
