1. For an instance, the blinds are 500 and 1,000 but the person who is supposed to be the big blind has only about 800 to post and a number of players are still on board. I don’t know whether or not these players have to post 1,000 in order to stay in or otherwise just match the 800 of the big blind.
2. In what specific situations do you think there are no small or big blinds? I’m not so sure, but I think you already shared something about such before.
3. For example there is a King high straight on the board and it’s the best hand. However, in the later part, it turned out that one of the players also holds a King in his pocket hand. What do you think, does the King that first occurred on the board overrule the King in pocket hand? Or else, the player could claim the hand?
4. For an instance the blinds are 100 and 200, then after the flop, a certain player raises to 400. I’m wondering if the player to the left of the one who raises wants to raise, does he need to raise to 800 or just double the big blind otherwise? Any idea about this?

Thanks,

Francis,

1. The players need to call the full 1,000 blind amount.
   
2. The only possible way there would not be a blind would be a case that both opponent were all-in for the ante. There are instances in a tournament where a small blind is eliminated the hand prior to their turn to post. In that case there would not be a small blind.
   
3. The player king in his hand is irrelevant. The object of Holdem is to make the best five card hand. Since the best five card hand is on board, everyone still in the pot splits the pot.
   
4. A reraise must be in the amount of the prior raise. In this case, they must raise to 800.

I’m currently wondering while writing this. Last night while we were playing, an unusual, bothering situation came up.

Well, at some point, three players were left in, eventually, the hole cards were dealt and one player have folded. The other player was dealt 10 & 6 and I was dealt 9 & 7. Then the flop came and was 7, 8, 9.

After which, player two went all-in with a straight and as my natural reaction, I called him up. Well, we have almost the same amount of chips, but not until after I called. Eventually, player 2 felt he had won.

But afterwards, the dealer dealt the turn which was a 7. Luckily, I won with a full house. However, not everyone agreed, so we started to resolve the issue.

In the end, it’s player 2 who won the game that night. It was so nice of player 2 that he even offered splitting the total winnings until such time we have already cleared the issue. But of course, I believe it was not fair, so I just let him take the winnings.

Anything to say? A comment about what happened perhaps?

Thanks!
Rafael
Rafael,

You won the hand. Your opponent held a straight and you had a full house. A full house outranks everything but quads, a straight flush, and a royal flush. In Holdem you make your best five card hand out of the two cards in your hand and the five on the board. The hand was not over on the flop. There were still two cards to come and you turned a full house. Your friend owes you money.
