    Was playing in a 1-3 game when this popped up.

    post flop..

    player A bets 45

    player B bets 65 and is all in

    player C wants to make it 100 and the table says no you cant raise since player B didnt complete the raise. is this correct because it didnt seem to make sense to me.

    Player C can raise since he has not taken action on the original bet. He must make it 90 or more if he has enough.

    Player A would not be allowed to raise again since the raise wasn't a full raise and he would be raising himself unless the bet was raised the full amount.

    This. Player C is new to action so he can def raise. LOL at the people saying he cant.

    Almost this but not this. Player C has yet to act so all options are open to him. If he wants to raise though he must raise the bet amount ($45) over the $65 so he has to make it at least $110. If Player C only calls then Player A can only call or fold because the action was never reopened after his bet.

    I think you are wrong. Since 65 isnt a complete raise player C can make it 90 and just complete the raise.

    no sir, i am positive i am right. you want to raise you raise over the amount you are facing. Say player B went all in for $85, does player C saying "I want to raise dealer, lets make it $90 to go" make sense?

    edit: to add. floor people and casinos (not to mention home gamers) make wrong rulings regularly. don't take a past ruling as the gospel necessarily. if i had any doubt i would look up the ruling but i don't and i'm lazy.
