Ruling question I should already know the answer to.

Are blinds considered bets in the opening round of betting? For example, on the flop, turn and river the first player to act may do so at any value above the big blind. Say a bet of 750 with blinds at 250/500. Preflop, can a player who is first to act raise less than the BB, or is his bet considered a raise of the BB?

omg what are you on?

coming from someone whose two examples were on play money, imo i think you dont know what ur talking about atall atall :eek: do you?

Do you not see my point that keeping the rules similar to limit makes things more simple? I don't think either format can be considered the right one, but I'm just saying I perfer the US way of doing things as it keeps things simpler.

And David, would you think me smarter (or more informed) if I sat down at a real money table and threw away a blind and raise (even if an improper US one) to create an example for you?
