I am going to take your example as being postflop since you said Player A checks. Player B puts in his last 75.50 and is all-in. Player C can raise. When it gets back to Player A he is still able to raise no matter what C does. If you had said Player A calls then we could say this example is preflop. Player B then puts in his last 75.50. Player C can still raise and the action is reopened when it gets back around to Player A. If Player C just calls he is just calling Player A's min bet so the action won't be reopened when it gets back to Player A.
The problem with the example I posted is that it might not be what happened in the example stlboy05 posted.
Without all the details I am going to guess that the blinds were 50/100 or 75/150 and Player A opened with a raise to 300. Player B raised to 375 and is all-in. One or more players called the 375 and the action returned to Player A. I guess I really don't know if he is allowed to reraise here.
There is some rule about if the bet is more than 1/2 the min bet, action is reopened but that only applies to limit games I think.
My understanding is that this example was all preflop. Some of the information is missing though and it might make a difference as to the rules in play. What did the other players do after Player B raised to 375? How much were the blinds when this happened?
I think the best answers might come from posting the question on one of the forums for tourney or cash game questions and also filling in more of the details.
Blinds are 50/100 in a 9 player single table tournament.
Player A, UTG, raises to 300. Next 5 players fold. Player B, the button raises to 375 and is all-in. SB folds. Player C calls 375 in the BB.
What are the options for Player A? Is the action reopened by the all-in raise allowing Player A to reraise or is he only allowed to call/fold? Is it different if the blinds are 10/20?
Anyway, good or bad, it is nice to see a pile of posts about PPN in one 24 hour period. The software problems can be fixed in time and keeping PPN a front page topic of conversation will draw people in at least to look things over.
