Hi all, Today in the room during the bubble, a player all-in had less than the BB. even less than the SB. I allowed to call the lower bet than the bb.
Now I have seen the thread :"BB is all-in for less than the BB pre-flop; Opener is all-in for less than the BB post-flop:"
http://www.pokertda.com/forum/index.php?topic=1040.0I've also seen some argue that it could be reasonable to allow calling a smaller amount than a bb preflop as well, while everyone agrees postflop to call the amount even if it's less than a bb.
Technically I believe that respecting the real amount of a bet could be important as the structure of the BB. The principle of the value of the single chip is common and almost naturally and organically shared as a very solid principle.(popular "one chip one chair")
-principle of the chip raise
-bet or raise leaving less than one BB behind
-opening of raises and minimum raises.
Just as some examples about detailed orientend principles.
I would be grateful to anyone who could deeply argue why a player who is faced with a bet less than the BB preflop, should bet at least one BB and raise at least 2 BBs. while post flop he can call a smaller amount and then possibly raise by 1 BB as in the examples in the link. Thanks a lot in advance for any replies.
