A Question About All-in's In A Tournament


Recommended Posts

I have a question about a situation that happened to me at a local casino during the final Table of a MTT. The blinds were at 10k/20k and UTG raises to 24k and is all in and it folds to me and i call his 24k which is only 14 k more to me since i am the small blind, and the big blind goes all in. Now i am under the impression that if a player goes all in and it isnt atleast a minimum raise then the action is dead and the rest of the table can only call the bet and no one can go over the top. Well i called the floor over and they said that the big blind always has their option yadda yadda yadda so i just mucked. I wanna know if anyone has the right answer and also if there is a web site that has these rules listed in it somewhere. Thanks alot

BB can reraise because he hasn't gotten the option to check/raise/call/fold yet.Yes, the other dude went all in for only 4k over the BB, but people behind can still raise. The situation arises where someone in EP raises, say, to 60k, and someone goes all in for 80k total, and there's a caller behind, the original raiser can't reraise.

yeap, the floor was right in this case. But uhmmm, why did you fold that? you had less than 1 bb left and where getting 3.5 to 1 on your money, and you already stated your hand was worth the call of the first guy...

You misread the OP, he doesn't only have 24k left. The raise was to 24k, he had 10k invested (SB) and doesn't state how much the reraise was for...

The guy re-raised for all his stack which was over 100k and i figured id save my stack i had 250k at that time so i didnt wanna get into a race for almost half my stack and only 5 players left. I ended up knocking that guy out later when he went all in again in a similar situation but i had AA. Thanks for the information guys just wanted to make sure i knew the rules myself as that is the first time i have been in that situation.

...a player who already has acted.
The BB has not yet acted.
