Hi,
Just new to the forum, but I have a scenario to run by you guys that lead to a heated debate on a game of poker that me and my friends host weekly round his house.
Non of the below I feel make much difference but to just set the scene a little.
Starting Stack : 15,000 chips
Blinds were 600 - 1200
Preflop player A raises as big blind from 1200 to 2400
Player B called the raise after calling the blind.
Everyone else folds.
After the flop is dealt Player A checks, Player B looks to consider pushing all in. After betting 1200, Player A "counts" Player B's chips, and makes a 7200 chip bet.
Player B thinks that this covers his chips, announces a Call and places all of his chips in the middle.
The turn and river are then shown and Player A wins.
After counting the chips it turns out Player B actually had 7300 chips left.
The heated discussion then went on that Player B should just give Player A the extra 100 chips as he never got chance to thereafter raise. The argument was that:
1. If player A wanted him all in then he should have either pushed himself, or went way over the top.
2. To give player A the 100 extra chips is based around a hypothetical bet.
3. Its a friendly game, some times people make mistakes.
The argument ended up going on for some time and never really got resolved. Now I understand that things may be different in a casino or legit tournament, but with this just been a weekly game round a mates house every week (buy in is £5 - so we're not exactly talking money of any mass).
Does anyone have any opinions on this?
Cheers
Ben
