There was an incident in a game which I’m really concerned of. It’s something about the blinds that were 1600/3200. Considerably, the 3200 blind was called by three people. Eventually, the last person went all in with 4800 and the next player yearned to call and placed in 1600. By the way, he was already in the 3200 bet. Therefore because of this, dispute have occurred. It’s actually about that person’s obligation to cover the big blind and then pull out 1600 for a side pot. And along with this, if the next player wanted to go with him,both of them will have a side pot.

Things became worser when the player who wanted to call the all in bet directly said no and calls for a foul. Supposedly, he had to only call the 1600 and then raise it to 3200 if he wants.

Who do you think in that certain incident was correct?

Thanks!

Thomas,

It appears from what you wrote that three players called 3,200 and then one wanted to raise after making the call. The person that objected was correct to do so. You cannot call a bet and then raise when nobody else has raised. When the player called the bet, action was closed to him unless someone raised.

This is actually an easy situation to solve. Just uphold the call of the three players and once the flop is dealt, the player that wanted to move all in can have the option to do so.
