2) If a player is all-in for ANY amount less than a min raise, then it's not considered a raise when action returns to the original bettor or any subsequent caller of that bet. (For Limit cash play .. This IS a raise if the amount is above 50% of a raise.)
For Tournaments any chips (or announcement) below a full min raise IS NOT a raise and becomes a call only. Rule 2 from above applies the same as above.
1/2 CASH: PF Raise to $6, call ... player puts out $9 with chips behind. This becomes $10 and opens up all actions to all players.
1/2 CASH: PF Raise to $6, call ... Player is all-in for $9. This IS NOT a raise and action is not reopened to the $6 raiser or caller.
100/200 Tournament: PF Raise to 600, call ... player puts out 900. This becomes a call of 600.
What's tough about these spots is that they look like they are being enforced differently and the dealer shouldn't make things 'clear' to the table unless asked by the player who is currently facing action. It also stirs the pot that Limit poker has it's own twist in there as well. GL
TDA Rule 43: Raise Amounts
A raise must be at least equal to the largest prior bet or raise of the current betting round. If a player raises 50% or more of the largest prior
bet but less than a minimum raise, he must make a full minimum raise.
