“Forced” to Fold

WSOP — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:18:35 +0000

Hi,

For an instance, in a no limit, anti game, player 1 has $10.00 and bets $5.00. Eventually, player 2 sees the $5.00. Same thing with player 3, sees the $5.00, but unlike player 2 he raises $30.00.

What do you think, will this situation force player 1 to fold? Or else will just cause him to go all in with the $5.00 remaining and a side pot created? Any idea?

Thanks!

Rohanne,

Player one will not be forced to fold. They can go all-in for the $5 and a side pot is created.

Starting Off the Bets

Let’s say everyone calls the flop and the betting starts again, from how much do you think the bets should start? Should it start from the previous round level? And if so, is this the same thing in all betting rounds?

Thanks. Your help will be much appreciated.

Hudson,

This depends on whether the game is Limit or No Limit. If the game is No Limit, the minimum bet is the size of the big blind up to a player’s entire stack. This is true for all betting streets. If the game is limit, the turn and river bets are in increments that are double the big blind. Preflop and on the flop, betting is equal to the big blind amount in Limit Holdem.

Sufficient Chips for the Blinds

Hey there!

In a no limit event, can you play the next hand in case you don’t have sufficient chips for either the big or small blind? I’m confused.

Any advice? Please help me.

Thank you.

Marshall,

If you do not have sufficient chips for the big blind, you can still play. You will be all-in for the amount that you have. As a result, the most you can win from each player is what you have in the pot.
