peterbirksOK: General consensus is for a pot raise, with one argument for a limp-reraise.
As it happens, the pot raise is right, but no-one spotted why (including me, when I was playing, which goes to show that you should always pay attention). My own line of thought that I was likely to get action for something slightly larger than a pot raise. I'm looking to double through here, and a "mere" pot raise is more likely to win me about 500.
So I raised it to 320. This was a mistake. As Sklansky might say, "can you see why?"
This went round to CO1, who promptly went all-in for 440. This got round to the small blind, who called. All others folded, and it came back to me.
Shit. I thought. If this was Prima, I know that I would be able to raise again. Are the rules the same on UB?
Unfortunately not. Because CO's raise was an underraise, I could only call.
Still, possibly no harm done. As long as an Ace doesn't come on the flop.
Pot size: 1410. I have 1120 in front of me.
The flop comes 986 two clubs.
Small blind bets 400.
What do I do?
