    How can zzIcall reraise me here? What am i missing. Even WITH the ante farmer2005 doesnt even have 6000.
  2. seems simple to me
  3. I always thoguht that one needed to raise more than the BB for other people to be able to reraise again?

  4. didn't notice that...thought you were talking about the play itself. I have no idea. I thought the same thing. I think its because it's all preflop so the AJ guy can raise whatever he wants?
  5. I agree with OP. He should not be able to raise there on stars.

    Only on AP...
  6. He basicly limped, and farmer2005 raised only 2600 something to 5600 total. The big blind is 3000. This is the reason i called, since i was getting a good price knowing that zzIcall can't raise me (or so i thought).

    I am pretty sure he should not be able to raise here in this spot. I wanted to be 100% sure before i werer to submit a bug report to pokerstars or something.

  7. farmers raise was not a complete raise to 6000 so zz should not be able to reraise after he limped, email stars and ask wtf........i like how your 47 of diamonds woulda won like Stars standard.........
  8. shouldnt be able to reraise there.
     
  9. i could be wrong, but isnt the rule that if its the first person in the pot who has less than 1 bb, nobody else can raise, so therefore because he wasnt first there can be raises after
  10. if someone places more than 1.5 times the previous bet, there is "action". i.e., it's a live raise.

    the lowest amount he could've raised was up to 4500 for there to be continued action in the hand. if he raised it to 4499 or less, then only calls would be allowed.
  11. Farmer2005 is the initial raiser, which makes all action available to players after him. Its the same as if the guy had 10 chips, all others are still able to raise. Now if you raised and he went all in for something less than double your raise, action would be dead to calling or folding. Hope that makes sense.
  12. Yea, it would appear he was able to clear the minimum and allow action. However, OP, you should have realized before you flatted his allin that you too could have raised(the button should have been up on your screen).

    he can raise no matter what amount the guy has (but the limper cant)
