I'm curious to know what the penalty was, but I think you handled it perfectly.

Hello,

There are two players left on the turn (A and B).
Player A bets on the turn.
Player B shows his hand to Player C (who is no longer in the hand but had asked to see it).
Then Player B goes all in.
Player A calls the floor and asks to see the hand before reacting to the all-in bet!

> I explained to Player A that B and C would be heavily penalized after the hand and that B would have to show his hand after the hand no matter what, BUT that at the time, B's hand would remain hidden until he decided whether or not to call the all-in bet!

> I should point out that, as far as everyone at the table was concerned, C had no particular reaction after seeing B's hand. What do you think of my decision?

Sigh, I guess I've gotten spoiled by G2E. When leaving the convention center, there are "Mark the date" signs for the following year. Right now, their website's home page has a similar "Mark the date" splash page.

Also, with very little effort, you can Google the dates for G2E in 2027 and 2028 as well.

I'm guessing the TDA Summit dates are loosely tied to the dates of the Aria summer poker series, which are also loosely tied to the dates for World Series.

And we all know the WSOP likes to add drama by releasing schedule dates and details a little at a time.

Sigh...

It's usually last weekend of June.
Odds are it will be that weekend, but won't know til Matt confirms.

Hello,

Will a summit take place in 2026 ? Any chance to have the date, and any chance that it could be on June 27th & 28th ? I'm planning my (nearly) yearly trip to Vegas actually, ending June 29th if I don't change... it would be a good option for me :)

Let us know if any news about this.

Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise after Allin
Last post by BROOKS - November 05, 2025, 02:03:43 AM
It in the TDA.
It's just written pretty complicated/confusing.
Which is why I have rewritten and simplified the wording.

But it's currently covered in Rule 43.

Here is an example from the Illustration Addendum:

Example 2:NLHE, Blinds 50-100. Pre-flop A is under the gun and goes all-in for a total of 150 (an increase in the bet of 50). So, we have a 100 blind bet and an all-in wager that increases the total by 50. Which is larger? The 100 is still the "largest bet or raise of the current round", so if B wants to re-raise he must raise at least 100 for a total of 250.

While I've always taught my new dealers the other way, I have no strong feelings either way.

But I'm not gonna change my procedures until it's in the TDA rules.

Quote from: Guillaume Gleize on November 03, 2025, 12:19:01 PMHello!
Blinds 200-400
Player A bets 1400
Player B all-in 1800
Player C minraise is 2800 right?

This is a little confusing and it depends on if this is on the flop or preflop.
TY Brooks > My example was preflop for sure (thus the blinds) so we agree on 2800 ! TY
