In poker, if a player has not acted on his hand yet, can he re-raise a min-raised all-in?

Question

the game is holdem. blinds are $2/5.

player 1 bets $20.

player 2 goes all-in for $23.

player 3's first action. can player 3 re-raise even though player 2 did not raise to at least $30 (1.5 times the original bet)??

Answer 1

it depends on the table rules . but most limited games have a 2 raise limit .

Answer 2

from this point you have do a split pot... obviously player 2 can't raise any more than 23 dollars....

what everybody has to do is match the bet of 23, put that in a side pot, from that point if player 3 etc wants to raise more they have to create a new pot... anything raised over the 23 player 2 cannot win... they can only win the 23 (therefore 46) dollars player 1 and 3 have put in...

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Yes, player 3 can raise.  Player 2 action is not a raise but player 3 has a chance to raise player 1's bet.  

In California, there are four bets, (three raises) per round unless head up.  In Nevada, there are five bets, (four raises).

Answer 5

In no limit player 3 can bet/re-raise what ever he wants. If player 3 decides to raise I belive he has to raise at least the size of the original bet.

I could be wrong.  You should consult Robert's Rules of Poker for a ruling.  Just google it.

Answer 6

sure.......if he wants to try and push the remaining player w/ money out...............
