General discussion of poker industry topics / Re: 2024 Summit
Last post by BROOKS - November 04, 2025, 07:09:27 PMThe last 10 years it's always been the weekend atend of June/beginning of July. So I'd assume it's going to be around the same time for 2026.
Dunno if that means weekend of June 27th or July 4th.

Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise after Allin
Last post by Dave Miller - November 04, 2025, 01:32:36 AMOn a somewhat related note, I manage a pub poker league. I wrote a rules document a few years ago which addresses many confusing rules as well as this point.
If you're interested, it's a 7 page document with the above quote in the first paragraph on page 2.

QuoteA bet of 400 followed by an all in of 775, a minimum raise is 800.It correctly implies that you can call for 775. Silently putting in 800 is a call of 775.

Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise fater Allin
Last post by Guillaume Gleize - November 03, 2025, 11:35:38 PMQuote from: Dave Miller on November 03, 2025, 11:17:44 PMIn fact, the only reason I could think of to ask the question is if somebody declares raise without realizing there was already a small partial raise all-in, and wants to know what his minimal requirement would be.... That's it ...

Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise fater Allin
Last post by Dave Miller - November 03, 2025, 11:17:44 PMI just checked the rules again, but couldn't find anything specific. The rules do address when multiple small all-ins reopened the betting, but not this particular question of a minimum raise - possibly because it would be such terrible strategy that the issue doesn't come up.
In fact, the only reason I could think of to ask the question is if somebody declares raise without realizing there was already a small partial raise all-in, and wants to know what his minimal requirement would be.

Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise fater Allin
Last post by Guillaume Gleize - November 03, 2025, 08:26:10 PMHello Dave,
TY for the answer!
Sorry but for me the minraise must be calculated from the bigger amount (so here 1800) !?
I know the all-in is not a raise but it can't be ignored to calculate the minraise if it is superior to any previous bet !?
Because imagine if the all-in were higher (while still not an official raise):
200-400
A bets 1400
B all-in 2300
So you think the minraise is here 2400 ?
Something is wrong don't you think so ?
For me here the minraise is 3300 !

Last post by Dave Miller - November 03, 2025, 01:05:00 PMI would think it's 2,400.
A's raise of 1,000 plus another 1,000.

Last post by Dave Miller - October 17, 2025, 01:53:27 PMRather than start a new thread, I figured I'd post here since the question is the same.
I'm hoping to come to the 2026 summit.
Are the dates set yet?

Last post by Dave Miller - August 24, 2025, 05:29:35 AMBrooks -
Thanks for responding, but Rule 34 does not address my question, at all.
Also, I agree with your description of how the blinds and button move when going to heads up.
My question / problem is, there is no official rule nor procedure that illustrates what we already agree upon.
Nor is there a rule that specifies that a player can (or can't) be SB twice in a row.

Last post by BROOKS - August 23, 2025, 05:34:34 AMIt's already covered in rule 34.
I don't think anything needs to be added/changed?
34: Button Placement and Movement
A: If incorrect button movement is discovered before SA occurs, the error will be corrected. However, if SA has occurred, play will continue. Ex: If the button is moved twice and SA occurs the error will stand, the button will not be backed-up on the next hand. All players have a responsibility to monitor button placement and speak up if they see a mistake (Rule 2)
B: Heads-up, the small blind is the button, is dealt the last card, and acts first pre-flop and last on all other betting rounds. Starting heads-up play, the button may need to be adjusted to ensure no player has the big blind twice in a row.
When training dealers, I tell them that when going from 3 to 2 players, the puck always moves forward, except when the puck busts out
Bob Puck
Sam SB
Tom BB
Sam busts, puck moves to Tom
Tom busts, puck moves to Sam
Bob busts, puck moves to Tom (technically backwards - instinct is to move it forward to Sam)
