So for example; preflop me and you (mike) go hell for leather prelop and DONT put each other all in when the blinds are 50/100 (irelivant)..... and POST flop iam first to act and i bet 1200.... the min raise IS 2400..... All raises must be equal to or greater than the size of the previous bet or raise (<<<
So iam sorry to say this but not only does the 'new' venues need the rules but by the sound of it all the venues need the rules!
Iam sorry to sound like as ass hole... and iam sorry to sound like a fuckin moaning old man but CHRSIT there is a friggin WSOP seat up for grabs and it would be good that the winner knows how to min raise!
AND for the record if the winners of this promotion decide to min rasie at the WSOP they deserve to be shot......
.....becasue a min rasie is a truly awful bet IMO.....
And lastly i apologise if this comes across as a very abrupt post but iam on major tilt and i have been drinking far too much already!!! LMAO......
Have fun everyone!!! hehe

This is right. If you are talking post-flop, then Player A who was first to act hasn't raised, and as Lee says the blinds are irrelevant. Player A has just bet. The next person, if they wish to raise, must raise by the same amount as the previous raise if there has been a raise, or by the same amount as the previous bet, if there hasn't been a raise. Simplicity itself!
e.g.1: Player A first to act post-flop bets 1000. Player B, if they want to raise, must raise at least 1000. Therfore the minimum raise is to 2000.
e.g.2: Player A first to act pre-flop raises from 100 (the size of the big blind) to 1000. This is a raise of 900. Therefore if player B wants to raise they have to raise by at least 900 too. The minimum bet in this case is 1900.
100 > 1000 (a raise of 900) > 1900 (a raise of 900).
To further confuse matters, in the Irish Open, and most televised poker games, the size of the minimum raise is equal to the size of the last
bet, not the size of the last raise!!
So, for example. Blinds 200/400. Player A raises to 1000. Player B must now raise to 2000 if he wants to raise (and not 1600 as you might think). This style of NLHE is "proper No Limit Hold'em" according to Mad Marty Wilson, and not the wuss-like version where a min raise is equal to the last raise.
