Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Minraise after Allin

Last post by BROOKS - November 04, 2025, 07:28:17 PM

This is how I have it written for when I am teaching:


Any raises after the short all-in must be at least the size of last valid bet/raise


Example 1:

• A bets 500, B calls 500, C is all in for 900
• If D wants to raise, they must raise by at least 500 - the last valid bet/raise
• C's raise all in to 900 was only a raise of 400 - not a valid raise

Example 2:

• A bets 500, B raises to 1200, C goes all in for 1500
• If D wants to raise, they must raise by at least the amount of the last valid bet/raise
• The last valid raise was when B raised by 700, therefore D must raise by at least 700 to 2200

Example 3:

• A bets 500, B all in for 900, C all in for 1300, D calls 1300
• If E wants to raise, they must raise by at least 500 - the last valid bet/raise
• The 2 short all in's do not count as raises, the last valid bet/raise was A's initial bet of 500

[preflop]

Hello!
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.

If it's preflop then A is raising to 1400 (a 1000 raise)
Which means next raise needs to be at least 1000
B goes all in for 1800
C would have to raise at least 1000 more to 2800

But...

If it's on the flop then A is betting 1400. Which means next raise needs to be at least 1400
B goes all in for 1800
C would need to raise at least 1400 more, so minimum would be 3200


Minimum raise is always determined by the last legal/valid bet amount.

The 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.

On 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.

A 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.

If you're interested, it's a 7 page document with the above quote in the first paragraph on page 2.

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.

... That's it ...

I 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.

Hello 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 !

I would think it's 2,400.

A's raise of 1,000 plus another 1,000.

Rather 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?
