I don't play limit holdem much, so maybe i don't know the rules, but i was playin a freeroll on players only, and a few times i'd hit a big hand in position against a certain player. He would hit something also, but obviously he wanted to get the pot up but didn't want a raise. Anyway, the blinds were 20/40 i think, after the flop the bet was 40, and he would bet 39, allowing me to only call or raise to 40. Correct me if i'm wrong, but in limit he should of only been able to bet 40, right? This was very irritating, especially when the blinds got higher and I wanted to raise. Anyone have an explanation or seen this also?
[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Hey madjek, I played one of these -- by mistake, oh believe me, by mistake -- yesterday also. From what I remember about the available buttons it should not have been possible to bet odd amounts until a player was all-in. The buttons available would only let you bet or raise the appropriate limit amounts for those levels and that street. . .[/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Now, not being entirely familiar with the betting rules for limit HE -- one of the weak points of being an online-only player is that you don't really have to -- it is possible that since the player before you was all-in with his 39, and that would not represent a full bet, you may not be allowed to raise him. You can call for the full amount of a full bet, but only players after you could raise. . .[/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Maybe someone more intimately familiar with LHE betting can chime in here. . .[/FONT]
