Hello folks,
In the following case :
PLO, Blinds 500/1000
Preflop
Seat 1 (D)
Seat 2 (SB) post 500
Seat 3 (BB) post 800 and All-in
Seat 4 (UTG)
We all agree that maximum raise for Seat 4 is not affected by the short all-in blind so he can raise up to 3500.
But then, what about maximum raise for Seat 1 ?
Rule 54 says the following :
54: Pot Size & Pot-Limit Bets
B: Pre-flop a short all-in blind will not affect calculation of the maximum pot limit bet. Post-flop, bets are
based on actual pot size.
I would naturally cap the raise at 11800 (3500 x 3) + 800 + 500 since the BB is not the base of the maths, but since the rule is telling that short all-ins blinds should not affect pot calculations, it should be 12000
What are your thoughts ?
Regards,
