Marco, of course, and you can count on Escott being late & Alan being there, wearing his thong again.
I'm sure Graham will be pleased to once more relieve us of our spare change, and maybe Shawn & Gregg will show this time.

Poker Rules 101

The following is a quote typical of poker web sites:

Betting Rounds
The two most common betting formats for Texas Hold em games are called ?Structured betting? and ?Spread-limit betting?. In a structured betting game, each bet and raise is a fixed amount, and usually that fixed amount is one amount for the first two betting rounds and twice that amount for the last two betting rounds. For example, in a $3-$6 structured betting game, all bets and raises in the first two rounds must be exactly $3, and all bets and raises in the last two rounds must be exactly $6. In a spread-limit betting game, say a $1-$4 spread-limit game, any bet or raise during all four betting rounds may be any amount between $1 and $4, with the exception that raises on any particular betting round must equal or exceed any previous bet amounts (i.e. if someone bets $3, then any subsequent raises must be $3 or $4). Some spread-limit betting games increase the available betting amounts in the last two betting rounds. Typically each betting round is limited to a maximum of three raises

This seems to confirm that a bet is a bet and a raise is a raise. At least by an expert other than Marco. Also it states all raises have to be at least equal to the previous bet.

More debate to come on Modified Dominican Poker Rules....

Gregg's a maybe.
Graham has family in town, so he may not show.

hey

Howmar, I would like to audit the game tonight, rather than play.

Don't know enough about Texas hold em yet. I know the odds are easier to calculate than other games. I'm pretty loosy goosy with odds, no precise calculations, prefer to get a feel for what's left, than a number. Then again, I'm a mathematical genius, so maybe 'feel' is all it takes. heh.

Do most players of this game calculate the odds? Just curious.
