do you have to raise double in poker
passage · full text (992 characters)
In no-limit and pot-limit games, there is a minimum amount that is required to be bet in order to open the action. In games with blinds, this amount is usually the amount of the big blind. Standard poker rules require that raises must be at least equal to the amount of the previous bet or raise. For example, if an opponent bets 5,aplayermustraisebyatleastanother5, a player must raise by at least another 5, and they may not raise by only 2.Ifaplayerraisesabetof2. If a player raises a bet of 5 by 7(foratotalof7 (for a total of 12), the next re-raise would have to be by at least another 7(thepreviousraise)morethanthe7 (the previous raise) more than the 12 (for a total of at least $19). The primary purpose of the minimum raise rule is to avoid game delays caused by ``nuisance'' raises (small raises of large bets, such as an extra $1 over a current bet of 50,thathavelittleeffectontheactionbuttaketimeasallothersmustcall).Thisruleisoverriddenbytablestakesrules,sothataplayermayinfactraisea50, that have little effect on the action but take time as all others must call). This rule is overridden by table stakes rules, so that a player may in fact raise a 5 bet by 2ifthat2 if that 2 is his entire remaining stake.
