I live in a state where poker is not legal in a brick and mortar card room. We play free roll poker in our local brewpub and was asked to be a volunteer dealer. This video clears up some confusion both I and others had on the origin of the oversize chip and the first raise amount. Thank you.
I must be missing something- the video is very well done and consistent within itself, but I am so lost about what the returning the chips and verbal communication would en tale. Ill try watching again- I appreciate such educational material on youtube. :)
When faced with a bet, the next player puts too many chip forward to call the best he faces, but the additional chips are not at least 50% more than the current raise increment, then the additional chips will be pushed back to the player by the dealer and the dealer will simply announce, "CALL"
Hi sir, thanks for your great explanation in this video. Meanwhile can i have ur help on the clarification? On main event 2023 #13, hand 16 between Tocci from italian and Rocco from USA. Blind is 125k/250k, Tocci at UG raised to 550k, and Rocco UG+1 min raise to 800k. May i know based on the video minumum raise rule, shouldn be tocci raised to 550k, so the difference is 300k, hence rocco min raised would be 850k, instead of 800k? Please correct me if i am wrong ya.
You are correct. I havent seen the actual video of this hand, but if the numbers you are stating are correct, then yes, this should have been a raise to 850K. The mantra I teach is "call the bet you face plus the raise increment" (for minimum raise.) The raise increment is first depicted by the valuse of the Big Blind. But then will increase based on the "current full and complete bet, subtract the previous full and legal bet". Therefore The raise to 550K was an increase of 300K from the previous legal bet, this sets the new raise increment to 300K. Its amazing to me how many dealers and floor staff do not understand this. There are still people who belive you simply double the previous bet for minimum raise. Anyway, I would put this down to a simple mistake by the dealer. Also if no other player noticed it and pointed it out, we continue now with that bet being "accepted action". Thank you for you comment. Chris
I understand the min raise but is it still the same when it comes to the player after the big blind? Pre flop Let's say SB is 10, BB is 25, is the min raise for the player after the BB (utg) 50 or is it 40?
Base on the rules in the video, the difference between the BB and SM is 15, so I guess UTG should first call the BB (25) and then add in at least the increment (15), making it 40. I'm not sure if that's correct, pls correct me if I'm wrong.
O man! Its murder, i have to laugh, u guys say how informative it is and i suppose it is, but its maddening. Im new to poker and am intrigued, im very eager to learn, but all i can do is fly by the seat of my pants.
There is a rule in poker. If a bet 50% in size greater than the previous betting/raising increment is added to the call amount, then a player is forced to complete the raise. (Assuming no verbal declaration was made.)
@@WestCoastDealingSchool Unless here you meant "ıs NOT 50% greater" Sınce you saıd that the player wıll be forced to complete the raıse-ıf the raıse was 50% hıgher than the bet, then he does not need to complete ıt.
Whichever action comes first is always binding. So, if a player declares "call" before moving any chips forward as a bet, then that action is binding. It would not matter now if he put 20 x 1k chips forward, it would only be a call. This video example is explaining the consequences of a player making his/her action without first making any verbal declaration... Therefore the chips speak and the combination of chips determine whether there is a call or raise based on the explanation in the video.
When only two players wish to compete: The player on the dealer button is the small blind, the other player is the BB. The dealer will deal to the Big Blind first and the small blind receives the last card. On the first betting round, the player in the small blind (button) will act first. If there is no raise, then the BB will have that option. Once the first betting round is complete, the action begins with the BB and the button gets last action just like in a multi-player game. I hope this clears up any confusion. Chris.
Does the 50% to be a Raise Rule apply to cash games as well assuming the player has enough chips does he have to complete the raise if his initial raise was at least 50%?
All rules in poker should be applied across both Tournament and Cash platforms. However, in cash games we will be flexible with some of the rules. In cash the only players affected are those sitting at any given table at the time, their actions do not affect other tables like they might in Tournament play. So yes the 50% (of the current increment) additional chips rule still applies to the cash arena. But we cannot force a player to complete the raise if they argue that they didn't intend to make the raise. But the chips they have already wagered would remain in the pot should the player choose to fold the hand.
@@WestCoastDealingSchool Thank you for your informative answer! For limit hold'em let's say your dealing 3/6 limit on the flop player A bets $3, player B goes all in for $4 and player C wants to raise..would it be to $6 because you ignore player B's all in because its less than 50%?
@@brianlee1417 Yes, with and initial bet of $3 ( on a $3 betting round) if the following player moves all-in for $4, the following player may raise, but only by completing the bet to "2 full bets" = $6. In limit poker, if an all in bet includes additional chips beyond the call amount which are less in value than 50% more; then the bet is still only considered one bet, and therefore a raise will complete the bet to two full bets. If, however an "all-in" bet has additional chips above the call amount equal to 50% or more (for example player two is all-in for $5); then this is already considered 2 bets (allbeit for less than what it should be - permitted only because the player is all-in) So the following player can call the "2 bets" of $5 and then raise by adding one full bet in addition. Therefore the "3 bets" raise amount will be $8.
Min raise after the first raise to $20 would be to $30. The raise increment did not change when it was raised from the BB of $10 to $20 by UTG. The raising increment is still $10 ( UTG's bet of $20 - the BB $10). So when considering raises you should think first a player must call the bet he faces to stay in the game and then add the raise increment on top. (For a min raise). Of course in NL a player may bet more than this. Lets assume UTG raises to $40. Now the raise increment has changed. The BB was $10 and the new bet is $40. The difference between the two is the new raise increment. ($30). So the next player to min raise would be calling the new bet of $40 and adding the new raise increment of $30 on top of this making a total bet of $70.
$30. Because the difference from the raisers $20 to previous better who is also the big blind of $10 is 10 so u add the difference of ten ontop of the last bet which was $20 equaling $30.

Assume that i m dealer and lets say that blinds are 200/400 and player who need to act first raise to 600.. He must to put 200 more to complete 100%of BB becasue 600 is 50%or more of raise increment If he raise 500 on 200SB/400BB..100 will be returned to him because it is less than 50% of raise increment and the player would only be in a position to call? and btw do I always apply this rule when players make a mistake or is there some kind of warning?
Your statement is correct.. As for applying the rule if a player makes a mistake? At WSOP we enforce the rule because it is a major tournament. If your smaller local card room would rather apply a warning, that is up to them. But if another player insists that the 50% extra means the player should be forced to raise, then you should apply the rule - the other player is within his rights to insist on the raise being enforced. Remember by being “flexible” with rules, this just leads to a grey area which brings confusion to all involved. I would prefer to enforce all rules and educate your players as you go. Expensive mistakes will make them remember in the future and not do it again.
@West Coast Dealing School Is the small blind not considered as a bet for the pre-flop situation? I am a bit confused because by the 50 % rule, 600 can be considered a raise {400+(400-200)=600}. It would be correct only if small blind is not considered a bet and big blind a raise in this case... So then 600 would be a re raise... Or am I confusing smth ?
Yes - Verbal declarations are binding provided that the verbal declaration is the first action to occur. Whichever action comes first (Physical or verbal) will determine the action and if it be making a bet using only chips and no announcement, then the chips will determine the bet size based on the rules explained in the video.
@@WestCoastDealingSchool ... Thank You . I Do Understand The Video, But I Must Say When I Was Learning Poker I Was Taught To Announce You Intentions. Call, Raise ( Fold Is Obvious, ) ( Check Is Also Obvious ) ( All In Is Obvious )
The first bet on the felt sets the raise increment (whether it be the BB or the first bet made after the flop, for example...) The next player to act needs to call the bet they face (1000, for seat 5 in this case) to stay in the game; but if they wish to raise the minimum they must add a raising increment on top of the 1000. The increment at this point is 500, set by the first bet made; So call 1000 + 500 = 1500. Remember that if the first player who made it 1000 actually made it 1100, then the raise increment would have changed to 600 (new bet minus previous bet equals the new raise increment, provided this number is greater than the original raise increment of 500) 1100 - 500 = 600 So a minimum raise now would be: Call the 1100 + 600 = 1700 ( it is not twice the bet you face, like many people think! So it is not 2200! The player could make it 2200, but this would set a new raise increment at 1100)
I think it means basically just throw out chips roughly what you need without counting, and the dealer will give back excess chips to call if it’s under 50% extra or tell you a value you need to raise if it’s over 50% with raise value being equal to the last raise.
Just started learning this with my kids 11 and 15. When she is last to bet in a round, my 11 year old will raise.....can she? What needs to happen then in the next round? Also, if betting after the river, the first player to act bets and the only other player wants to raise, can they? And what must the other player then do?
In all betting rounds, a player who is yet to act always has the option to raise (providing they have sufficient chips). There is a minimum amount they must raise by and this is set by the “raise increment”. Pre-Flop, the raise increment is set initially by the value of the Big Blind or, if someone during that round has already raised, then the increment may have been increased. This would be determined by the new bet minus the previous bet. If this gives a greater value than the BB then this will be the new raising increment. For example: if the BB was 200, then the first player to raise must raise to a minimum of 400. That would be a call of the BB and adding the increment value to this 200+200=400. However, if the BB was 200 and the next player made a bet of 500. The increment has now been increased to 300. (500-200=300) what this means is that the next player to raise must at least make the bet 800. That’s a call of the 500 plus the new increment of 300 making a total of 800 (the increment is still at 300 at this point). So yes, your player can always raise if they have yet to act, but they are restricted to the minimum they must add to make a legal raise. Depending on the betting structure you are playing with, there will also be restriction on the maximum a player might raise. (In No-Limit Hold’em, however, there is no restriction to the maximum - that is simply restricted by how many chips a player may have on the table). In all betting rounds after the flop; the first bet will set the raise increment. It should be at least equal to that of the Big blind, but it may be more. It also might be less if a player is all-in for less than a BB. However, the raise increment should always be at least the value of the BB if the first player to act makes a bet “all-in” less than the BB value.
The minimum bet resets after each betting round is complete. The Big Blind value is used for No Limit, Pot Limit and Spread Limit. The betting limit is used for Limit betting structure games.
@@brunomaruca That is correct, after the flop, (Unless the player is "all in" for less)... However, if a player is "all in" for less, the raise increment still begins at the value of the BB. So, with blinds of 100/200, if a player moves "all in" for 125 the next player, should he wish to raise, must raise by the minimum which is currently set by the BB value , (200); so a total bet must be made of 325. How we should think about minimum raises is that a player must first call the best he faces (125) and add the raise increment on top of that amount (200) So 125+200 = 325. Of course this bet must be made in one action (or verbally declared) or it would be considered a string bet. String bets (multiple motions forward with chips) is not permitted in poker.
Yes. Always collect money from a player who folds immediately. We have a saying in training... “ dead cards, dead money...” that’s the collection order.
@@WestCoastDealingSchool But what if you have an all-in and a fold? What happens with the folding players chips. Are they part of the all-in/sidepot scenario?
@@jimc6144 The folded players chips will go into the live, working pot at the time of the fold. This will be the side pot if that is the pot that is currently live. Remember you could have multiple side pots, but there is only one live side pot and that is the latest one. All chips collected from the players that remain in the hand will be added to this pot, whether they are from a player folding or from players still live in the hand.

The increment at this point is 500, set by the first bet made;
So call 1000 + 500 = 1500.
Remember that if the first player who made it 1000 actually made it 1100, then the raise increment would have changed to 600 (new bet minus previous bet equals the new raise increment, provided this number is greater than the original raise increment of 500)
1100 - 500 = 600
So a minimum raise now would be:
Call the 1100 + 600 = 1700
( it is not twice the bet you face, like many people think! So it is not 2200! The player could make it 2200, but this would set a new raise increment at 1100)
I’m so confused why did he raise 1200 to 2400 when that’s 100% and not just 50%
I think it means basically just throw out chips roughly what you need without counting, and the dealer will give back excess chips to call if it’s under 50% extra or tell you a value you need to raise if it’s over 50% with raise value being equal to the last raise.
This is so helpful!
Thanks
Just started learning this with my kids 11 and 15. When she is last to bet in a round, my 11 year old will raise.....can she? What needs to happen then in the next round? Also, if betting after the river, the first player to act bets and the only other player wants to raise, can they? And what must the other player then do?
In all betting rounds, a player who is yet to act always has the option to raise (providing they have sufficient chips). There is a minimum amount they must raise by and this is set by the “raise increment”. Pre-Flop, the raise increment is set initially by the value of the Big Blind or, if someone during that round has already raised, then the increment may have been increased. This would be determined by the new bet minus the previous bet. If this gives a greater value than the BB then this will be the new raising increment.
For example: if the BB was 200, then the first player to raise must raise to a minimum of 400. That would be a call of the BB and adding the increment value to this 200+200=400.
However, if the BB was 200 and the next player made a bet of 500. The increment has now been increased to 300. (500-200=300) what this means is that the next player to raise must at least make the bet 800. That’s a call of the 500 plus the new increment of 300 making a total of 800 (the increment is still at 300 at this point).
So yes, your player can always raise if they have yet to act, but they are restricted to the minimum they must add to make a legal raise. Depending on the betting structure you are playing with, there will also be restriction on the maximum a player might raise. (In No-Limit Hold’em, however, there is no restriction to the maximum - that is simply restricted by how many chips a player may have on the table).
In all betting rounds after the flop; the first bet will set the raise increment. It should be at least equal to that of the Big blind, but it may be more. It also might be less if a player is all-in for less than a BB. However, the raise increment should always be at least the value of the BB if the first player to act makes a bet “all-in” less than the BB value.
Great video. Does the minimum raise carry on over the different rounds, e.i is the minimum raise at the river the same as the turn or does it reset?
The minimum bet resets after each betting round is complete. The Big Blind value is used for No Limit, Pot Limit and Spread Limit. The betting limit is used for Limit betting structure games.
@@christidmarsh964 Thanks!
Chris Tidmarsh does that mean that the first person to bet after flop, turn and river has to bet at least the value of the big blind?
@@brunomaruca That is correct, after the flop, (Unless the player is "all in" for less)... However, if a player is "all in" for less, the raise increment still begins at the value of the BB. So, with blinds of 100/200, if a player moves "all in" for 125 the next player, should he wish to raise, must raise by the minimum which is currently set by the BB value , (200); so a total bet must be made of 325. How we should think about minimum raises is that a player must first call the best he faces (125) and add the raise increment on top of that amount (200) So 125+200 = 325. Of course this bet must be made in one action (or verbally declared) or it would be considered a string bet. String bets (multiple motions forward with chips) is not permitted in poker.
West Coast Dealing School super clear! Thank you very much!
If it could be either a call or a raise, it’s a call.
It can never be one or the other. Just FYI. There is only one correct answer.
Why is it so extremely complicated? Just immediately raise at least 2x the bet.
If a player folds, should his chips placed in the pot at that time?
Yes. Always collect money from a player who folds immediately.
We have a saying in training... “ dead cards, dead money...” that’s the collection order.
@@WestCoastDealingSchool But what if you have an all-in and a fold? What happens with the folding players chips. Are they part of the all-in/sidepot scenario?
@@jimc6144 The folded players chips will go into the live, working pot at the time of the fold. This will be the side pot if that is the pot that is currently live. Remember you could have multiple side pots, but there is only one live side pot and that is the latest one. All chips collected from the players that remain in the hand will be added to this pot, whether they are from a player folding or from players still live in the hand.
I dont like the "might consider this bet a raise" as its clearly a raise.
You might want to watch the video again and listen to the detail provided? It appears you may have overlooked a vital part of the explanation?
Good luck!
I hope to play good
Man, I have to use this is a game to mess with the beginner's and throw them off
