| Short stack dilemma | 2010 02 12 10:16 pm | Hi all, wanted an opinion or two about this situation, if I may. Just lost a coin flip and am left with a mere 4K, blinds 1K/500. (details are unimportant, this is a few [two or three] hands later). I am in the BB and the aggressive button looks at my stack and makes it 4500 to go. Button's stack is above average, and even though he is fairly new to the table he has raised a lot and shown little. The Big-stacked SB makes the call, all others have folded. I look down at 76off . . . what to do? As it comes to me and I am deciding what to do, the TD steps up to announce that the blinds are going up next hand to 1400/700. Do I call off my last chips and take whatever comes. . . ? If so, do I have to do this just for value? Another reason? What reasons are there not to either call or not call? Or do I fold and cross my fingers for the next two cards in SB? What do you do . . . and why? BFB |

| Ruling question - Was it a raise? | 2009 12 05 10:18 pm | Hi guys, Small buy-in tournament, no big deal, but a situation came up that I thought was mis-ruled, though I may have been a bit biased considering I was involved in the hand itself. Need some external and unbiased input. Blinds are, I think, about 100-200 (but not really a factor). On the turn: Player X bets out $1100 chips (1 x $1000, 1 x $100). Player Q silently puts out 2 x $1000 chips, and as dealer gives him his change and more-or-less simultaneously goes to turn and burn, Player Q holds his hand up and says, "no wait a minute," points at what were his two one-thousand chips and says "but I raised!" A minor dispute initiates, and the Tournament director is called over who asks Player Q whether he meant to raise. Player Q now states that, yes, he "meant" to raise. TD makes a ruling . . . . Before I reveal that ruling, what do you think? What is the correct ruling here? Was it a raise, was it a call, was it something else? BFB |
| Hitler Banned - Where has it gone? | 2009 10 31 12:44 am | I have been trying to find that old Hitler banned from online (FullTilt?) Poker video that was on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEmU59ifUog but it now says "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions." (btw - I found the above link from an old post, from about two years ago). Anyone know what's going on with this? Or, more importantly, where I can get access to a link so I can send it to a mate who hasn't seen it yet? BFB |
| Ruling question | 2009 06 30 02:37 pm | This matter came up at a live MTTournament a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to get some additional input before finalising my opinions. Situation: Post flop, early position (FTA) bets out 2,800, pushing chips into middle. Chips are counted down and action moves around with the amount being clearly stated as "2800" several times. Folds around to late position who makes a verbal declaration of "four thousand". Obviously a call is 2800 and a proper raise has to be at least 5600. It is immediately recognised that this is not a proper bet amount and a more-or-less civilised discussion evolves at the table about whether this is a call or whether this is in fact to be declared a raise, and he has to complete, or just a call. What do you think? What is your ruling/decision and why? BFB |
