Hi Guys ,
I've been thinking on a few matters I've seen in some friendly games at home ,
1st : min raise , as I understand it one may only raise the minimum of the
BB yes ? i.e if BB is 600 , min raise is 1200total and a further re-raise
is 1st raise+BB (min raise) = 1800 ... do I have this right ?

2nd : 2 pairs on the board with a big kicker ...my general knowlege tells
me its the best 5-card draw which wins , so if one has 22 and another has
A5 , if the board comes 44766 , then the guy with A5 wins , is this right ?

I'm sure I once was sure of the 2nd part but found myself doubting wot I
know ...lol
appriciate all answers thanks ...

yes thats good news .... thanks for that azeldin , the reason is I try to be paitient ,but some ppl I play with have this terribly bad
habit of calling a raise and re-raising 1 unit only .... very irritating
I prefer a proper raise then at least I can get some better infomation.....

Example: blinds 50/100, Bob raises to 300 (a raise of 200). The next raise must be to at least 500 (another raise of 200).

hhmmm , I wonder about that though .... would this be ok :
BB = 100 , raise to 300total (increase 200) , re-raise to 400total
which is 1st raise total + BB = 400 total ....?
or are you saying that since the 1st raiser raised more than min-raise
ie increase 200 instead of 100 (BB) then the new min re-raise is by 200 ?

he he he , the beauty of qoutes lol ..
thanks a lot for the info , guys have to play properly to get good practice .... :-)

Hi guys , I have some more issues to clear up ...
1.the board comes all hearts with an A on the river , i.e the nut flush is on the board , with 2 players left, is it a split pot if one player
has K of hearts and the other player has nothing ?
2.if one player has a full house on the turn and the other player has nothing , the river makes it quads on the board, is it a split pot ?

Only thought about these things recently ... I appriciate all help ..

thanks for the info , it seems very confusing when playing ... lol,
btw we had a similar situation as in example 1. and luckily we used your solution of K flush wins .....
thanks again ....
