Initial bets should be a minimum of the big blind with subsequent raises at least the amount of the last bet/raise.

So in my above example the player could do a .75 cents bet (big blind = .50 cents)?

Sorry for the temporary threadjack...I've never understood the initial bet part properly (I get the subsequent raises part)

Yes. Many players will bet multiples of the big blind, but, technically, as long as a bet meets or exceeds the big blind it is acceptable so long as subsequent raises/reraiseses are at least the ammount of the last bet/raise.

For example: big blind = $0.50
First raise could equal $0.75 with a reraise to $1.50 but not to $1.00

I don't think so.

I can see the logic of it, if you think of the small blind as a bet, and the big blind as a raise... then a raise to .75 would make sense....

But it's better to think of the small blind as 1/2 the minimum bet, and the big blind as the minimum bet. In all rounds, the minimum first raise is equal to the big blind. (and the minimum re-raise is equal to the last raise)

So with .25/.50 blinds, you could never bet .75. The minimum raise would be to 1.00

I did not clarify myself well enough (or maybe I didn't think it through enough). I ment a $0.75 raise above the level of the big blind. A better explaination would be:

Big blind: $0.50

Raise of $0.75 would actually equate to $1.25 ($0.50 for the blind plus the $0.75 raise)

Reraise would be to $2.50.

My meaning was acutally a $0.75 cent raise above the blind amount and not a raise to $0.75.

Sorry if I confused anyone (or myself).

The initial raise of .75 to $1.25 is OK. But in that case, the minimum reraise would be to $2.00 ($1.25 plus the minimum raise of .75)

Yeh, odd configuration, but I didn't know any better when I bought it.

I don't think that is an odd configuration. That config. is close to set I am thinking of.

$1 =200
$5 =160
$25-100
$100=50

For ten players that would give each player:
$1 =20= $20
$5 =16= $80
$25=10=$250
$100 whatever is needed.

For your games, like someone else said just make your denom cents instead of dollars.

For raising in example given with Blinds of .25/.50, raise of .75 to 1.25 is ok. Min. reraise would be .75 making it 2.00. Preflop, it would be either call for .50 or min raise .50 making bet 1.00. Cannot be in between those 2 figures unless it is all in. Post flop you can start the bet with any amount above .50 so there you can bet .60 or .75.

this minimum raise stuff is madness!!!

See, thats why I tend to bet more than the minimum - the math gets in my way.

Thanks for the math assistance.
