Hi there,
Just thought I’d ask what the rulings were on these given situations. I have read the TDA rules thoroughly but still not clear on the following and was wondering if you could please help me:
1. Rule 46 I sort of understand but the example shown confuses me... namely ‘If prior chips don’t cover the call AND are left alone. Ex: THE 25-50, the BB posts two 25’s, button raises to 600 total (550 more to BB). 1: Adding an overchip is a call (drop a 1k chip onto the two 25’s).’
Why is this a call? The smallest denomination chip of 25 can be removed and leave at least the call amount and removed leaves 1025 which is more than 50% of 600 raised.
2. Breaking/balancing tables - what is the ruling in this? Is it always the players about to be BB move to another table? It says the worst position, what is the worst position? Are tables always balanced if an opportunity to balance comes up in an MTT or is it only done during certain intervals?
3. Random drawing for seats - what is the ruling here when it comes to highest card by suit is dealt first? I thought it was Ace was dealer and every other card that was numbered was their corresponding seat. What is the suit order?
4. A situation that come up at home. Dealer burns 2 cards instead of 1 and deals the flop. What is the ruling here?
5. In hand for hand, I read somewhere that the hand plays for 2 minutes. Please explain this to me as I can’t understand this.
Thank you 🙂
