Not exactly.  The minimum raise is the size of the big blind, not double the big blind.  If the BB is 200, the minimum raise is 200, or a bet of 400.  "a minimum raise of double the big blind" would mean the minimum raise is 400, or a bet of 600, which is inaccurate.

Magic_fubu:
jhisey, what jody meant is that 'the minimum raise is double the bet of the big blind' is not to raise it 400 if the big blind is 200, but raise it TO 400 if the big blind is 200, thus being "double the big blind". 

If you're going to quote, quote accurately: Jody said minimum raise IS double the bet of the big blind, not that "a minimum raise OF double the big blind"

6. Any wager not all-in must be at least the size of the previous bet or raise in that round

Considering the Big Blind is a forced bet by 2 left of the dealer, the minimum raise, if you are 1st to raise is the size of the Big Blind. From that point on, the minimum raise is the size of the previous raise.

So for example...

Player A - BB  1000

Player B - Raises to 2000

Player C - Can raise to 3000 as his raise is still at least the size of the previous "raise".

Ohh I love poker rules. :)

I've got 2 questions

1 - if the Big Blind is a forced bet.. the next player must be ''raisining'' and not ''betting'' right? Just trying to figure out the correct way to say...

2 - You said '' if you are 1st to raise is the size of the Big Blind''


But.. could I raise more than the size of the Big blind?

like..

Player A - BB  1000
Player B - BB 2500

Thank you kindly !

efdenny:
1- next player can either "call" or "raise" any amount greater than (or equal to) double the big blind. (2000 or more in this case)
2- Yes, 2500 is a valid amount in this scenario

hitesh911:
In No-Limit Hold'em, the minimum bet is usually the big blind. The minimum raise is going to be the amount of the previous bet or raise called. For example, in a 1/2 nl game, the minimum you can raise before the flop is going to be to make $4... you are calling the $2 blind and then raising $2.. :) :) :) :) :)
