Thread: Bellagio 1/2 Floor ruling. I'll never play there again.

Within the past year.

I'm almost certain that isn't their rule. So that isn't really pertinent. There is no way they allow a player to raise himself just because someone went all in for an extra dollar.

It's Bellagio's rule, it isn't standard but it is their rule. You just have to deal with it. Making a big deal about it isn't going to change their rules and its just gonna make you seem like an *******. Also, you have half your stack in and are getting 5 to 1, why not call there.

He knows Player B...
