Great time on Sat. Made money and got yelled at by the guy I felted for checking my flopped Ace's full of jacks. "Why in the **** would you check that?"

haha i thought the same thing, i left sat night during that storm and was ****ing soaked

Not dealing you in when you don't have chips and leaving the table to get chips is fine and perfectly normal. Having to post is terrible but there are a few casino that do enforce this. Why did you not call for the floor for a clarification? Because
Bold part is totally uncalled for here. He could have done everything right and still lost. Poker is not 100% skill. It is a mix of skill and luck. (And it is own not owe.)

You did say "$500 behind, be right back." in your OP. But continuing to read your post, it seems you were okay with being dealt out while getting chips. I would be interested to know if you had used a runner, would you have still been required to post by this dealer? But alas, that will forever remain a mystery,

As said, most casinos do not required felted players to post. Should he have asked a floor for clarification? Yes. But whatever his issue, he has the right to tip or not tip for any reason.
He never said the chip runners should be right there or for the cashier to instantly give him a stack. He said he went because it would be faster to do it himself (to paraphrase) and he is probably right.

No you are not. You appear to be the only one reading that way (to quote one person):


He has the right to complain if he is not being treated like everyone else. Again most casinos do not require posting if you get felted and miss blinds immediately after and Parx is one of them (see above). Now if he busted, walked away for 1/2 hour or more and came back, he should have to post. But to be required to post because he went to the cage for chips and came right back is wrong especially as it appears that is not Parx's policy on a situation like this. Why your hostile attitude?

Lol! It's pretty terrible. You can avoid the potholes if you park immediately to the left when you pull in...don't drive up and down the rows for a closer spot or your car might plummet down to the earth's core.

Regarding the issue of being required to post or not after being felted, players who are always prepared with a second buy-in of chips when felted would be punished $5 if the rule was that if you have chips, you post, but if you're in the process of getting more chips, you can get a free hand after the button.
This would be pretty unfair.

What is the min and max buyin for all of the NL games at the Parx. 1-2, 2-5, 5-10, and anything higher?

I am not sure I agree/believe that most casinos do not require missed blinds to be posted. Rather, what is more likely the case is that most casinos will allow the player to rebuy directly from the rack before the dealer begins the next hand, avoiding the problem (but slowing the game down for the remaining players). Or they allow cash to play, or allow playing behind. Even in these cases, if the player instead chooses to wait a hand or two before rebuying for whatever reason, they will get a missed blind button.

Even if is somehow true, as I mentioned above, I do not believe Parx is one of the casinos which follows the policy you suggest.

What if he had not been felted, but had been left with exactly $2. Does he have to post then if he leaves to get chips? Where exactly do you draw the line between those who have to post when missing their blind and those who don't?

60-300, 200-1000, 500-2000 , and 10/25nl can either be 1k min and no max or 2k min and no max

Alright thanks a lot.

Plo nl mix was a good time for the 3 hours it ran boys and girls. Anyone down to rry and make it a regular game??

I would def play if I knew the game would be going

How many runners do the Tuesday/Saturday 230$ tournaments get?

Thanks.

Tournaments dont start until May

Saw that $2/5 PLO/NLHE ran again last night. How long did it run last night? It would be pretty sick to make that a regular game. I would be happy to get it running twice a week.

Can someone (Ari?) help me with an official ruling?

Hand: UTG raises. I 3bet MP, Btn flats. Utg calls.

Flop J82r. UTG checks. I bet, btn calls, utg calls.

Turn Tc (putting 2 clubs) UTG checks. I bet 155. Btn goes all in for 271.

UTG asks if he calls the 271, will I be allowed to raise?

So basically the question is, what is a "legal" raise that would allow me to reopen the action? I was under the impression that if he raises more than 1/2 of my bet (in this case at least 232ish) then I would be allowed to reraise.

The floor, who's name I didn't get, said that it needs to be at least an actual minraise. (310)

I'm heading to Parx now, but if anyone could give me an official ruling, thatd be great.

Thanks

The 1/2 bet rule is for limit poker, not NL. The ruling was correct from my experience.

The floors ruling was spot on. If you bet 135 instead it's a different story.

In limit the rule is slightly different were sometimes you can re-raise if an all-in places in over half the bet.

Also be extra careful of the potholes in inclement weather. More than one car actually got stuck in a pothole over the winter and I heard multiple people over the past few days talk about how they didn't notice a pothole on Saturday during the torrential rain. I guess "be careful of potholes in inclement weather" goes without saying but for those who haven't seen them, these are not ordinary potholes.

i'd be down for the PLO/NLHE mix on a regular basis.

P-bater, maybe you're thinking of the rule that a lot of casinos have in the following example:
Player A bets $60, player B throws out four green chips for $100, floor rules that it's a minraise rather than a call bc it is more than 1.5x the original bet? If he threw out $70, it would be a call.

The floor is def right in your example, must be complete raise to open up betting again.

I'm retiring from plo after only one session with you guys, enjoy the donation , but I know my bf will play whenever you can get the game going. Seems like there's enough interest to run this regularly imo.

Can Ari confirm this ruling? ...doesn't seem right to me but I don't play NL too often. I am certain that in a number of places I have played a reraise was allowed as long as the raise was at least half of the initial bet--and this is in NL. Bet 20, all-in to 30, call, reraise allowed from initial bettor.

Im headed to Parx after work probably around 4, def gotta watch out for those dino tracks that i fell into last week

Well, I am not Ari, but a full raise being required is the standard rule for NL. Coincidentally, I confirmed it was the rule at Parx with one of the floors just last week, after it came up during a 1-2 game I was sitting in while waiting for my regular game.

RRoP:

Yea I'm pretty sure it has to be at least a minimum raise to be reopen the action.

Also, it doesn't hurt to pay attention to stacks whether you do or don't want action to be reopened(Not criticizing Pastor, just making a general statement)
