--- Quote from: Max D on October 26, 2017, 08:30:51 AM ---Rule 39 B: An undercall is a mandatory full call if made in turn facing 1) any bet heads-up or 2) the opening bet on any round multi-way.

1 & 2 at TD’s discretion player may be required to make a full call or allowed to forfeit the undercall and fold.

This rule was adopted at the 2013 Summit at the Venetian. Sam Quinto and Jack Effel proposed these guidelines and they have held up very well.

Important to note that the option to leave the undercall in and fold is at TDs discretion. This is a good topic for 2019 to see if the membership wants to skew this towards, for example, enforcing calls except in cases of "gross misunderstanding" (to borrow a RROP term), or to leave as-is.

Thanks for re-visiting this very important issue!
