No, Player A is only allowed to call or fold, since Player C's all-in is not the required full raise needed to reopen betting for Player A and B.-----------------------

Player A can re-raise, but if Player A only calls, then that is all that Player B can do as well.Google for TDA rules for more information.Patrick

Only fold/call due to the size of Player C's raise.

Raise/fold/call because he still has the option to raise Player B's bet.

I did of course.. :)They agreed with the first problem.. that he could only fold/call.But they also said that in problem #2 player a could only fold/callThey were using the rule from roberts that says.."A player who has already checked or called can not subsequently raise an all-in bet that is less than the full size of the last bet or raise."They said that since he had already acted (checked) that he couldn't reraise.I was pointing out that player B's bet had freed him and the correct size raise had been made and he could reraise no matter what C had done.

lucky_charmz, Thank you for your post, it was full of insight and charm.I mispelled and copied and pasted. :club:
Sorry...I'm one of those spelling dorks who just can't stand to see a typo like that...But at least I was charming about it.

same answer as the first..call or fold..not a legit raise..has to be atleast 160

Actually, no. Player A can still act on Player B's original bet of 80. The all-in by Player C does not effect his ability to do so.Patrick
