Minimum Raise Sizing And When An Incomplete All-In Reopens Betting Action
A Legal Minimum Raise Must Equal At Least The Size Of The Largest Previous Bet Or Raise Increment On The Current Street; An All-In Wager Of Less Than A Full Raise Does Not Reopen Betting For Players Who Have Already Acted.
Official TDA & RROP Floor Ruling Procedure
Under TDA Rule 43 (Raise Amounts) And Rule 47 (Re-Opening The Bet), In No-Limit And Pot-Limit Games The Minimum Raise Increment Is Equal To The Largest Prior Full Bet Or Raise Increment Of The Current Betting Round. If A Player Goes All-In For An Amount That Exceeds The Previous Bet By Less Than The Minimum Legal Raise Increment (An "Under-Raise" Or Incomplete All-In), Players Who Have Already Acted And Are Facing Less Than A Full Raise Increment May Only Call Or Fold; They May Not Re-Raise Unless Another Player Behind First Makes A Full Legal Raise Or Multiple Short All-Ins Accumulate To Equal A Full Raise Increment.
Common Live Table Scenarios & Official Floor Decisions
How Tournament Directors And Cardroom Floor Supervisors Apply Minimum Raise & Incomplete All-In Reopen Rules In Real-World Disputes:
In A 100/200 Game, Player A Opens To 500 (A 300 Raise Increment). Player B Wants To Make A Minimum 3-Bet.
Because The Previous Raise Increment Was 300 (From 200 To 500), Player B Must Raise By At Least 300 More, Making The Minimum Legal 3-Bet Total 800.
Player A Opens To 600 (In A 100/200 Game, 400 Increment). Player B Shoves All-In For 850 (Only A 250 Increase). Everyone Folds Back To Player A.
Because 250 Is Less Than The 400 Minimum Raise Increment, Betting Is NOT Reopened For Player A. Player A May Only Call The Extra 250 Or Fold.
Player A Opens To 600 (400 Increment). Player B Shoves For 850 (+250), And Player C Behind Shoves For 1,050 (+200 More, Total +450 Over Player A).
Under TDA Rule 47B, Because The Combined Short All-Ins Total +450 (Which Exceeds The 400 Minimum Increment), Action IS Reopened For Player A To Re-Raise.
