A growing number of rooms in Las Vegas DO have a half bet rule in NL. In fact, I was involved in a situation on Tuesday where a player bet $15. Another player brought out a 5 red chips and sat them down. I tossed two of the chips back to her and said call because to my knowledge we didn't have a half bet rule (I've worked there 4.5 years). She said she wanted to raise. The woman had a sweater who spoke up and said it was a raise. I told her we didn't have a half bet rule and it was a call. She/We called the floor. The ruling was that it was a raise to $30.
As it turns out we, indeed, now have a half bet rule in NL. It's amazing to me that we changed a long standing rule in our room WITHOUT a memo or any sort of communication to the DEALERS. Sigh. It's not like we needed that information, right?
Murph, I misunderstood you when you told me this. As far as I know this is and has been the rule in our room the whole time I have been there. I thought
you were talking about the rule about when an all-in reopens the raising.
