    Hero ???
    So BB special, I flop a straight draw, it completes on the turn giving me the nuts. Since there was a bet and so many callers on the previous street I decide to checkraise it.

    The flop raiser raises again and all call, I reraise 3/4 pot as I'm afraid of him folding if I push here. I think he's got a set or top two pair. He calls.

    One of the callers comes over the top for not much more, and I want to reshove but the software (party) won't let me, I can only fold or call. Of course I call with the nuts, but I don't really like being further committed without being able to push since either a flush or a board pair could well have me beat.

    So first, what's the rule that applies here? I can't reraise if it was less than a full bet (i.e. the previous raise)? Or less than half a bet? Do I need to take this into account when sizing my bets in multiway pots?

    Now the river completes the flush draw and pairs the board. All I really beat now is AQ and JQ. Do I have to check/fold to UTG+1's shove?

    And of course other suggestions appreciated.

    (I was still confused about not being able to reraise, I was first to act here, and shoved like an idiot...)

    sucks when that happens but you had no idea it was going to go down like that so you can't blame yourself. My guess in a 5way pot with that turn action that it's probably best just to c/f the river.

    3d is 2nd worst river card behind the Qd, so it's a pretty easy c/f

    that river card kills your hand

    why didnt you pump it in on the turn?

    Um, this makes no sense. It's No Limit. This must be a glitch. Have you reported it?

    not a glitch at all, if the all-in raise is not a minraise (less than the minimum required to make a full raise) then the original raiser cannot re-raise over it.

    I'm first to act on the turn, pushing would be a 6xpot overbet, and I didn't think I'd get paid off. I was pretty sure someone would raise.

    After UTG+1 raises and it gets back to me, the pot is $1.50 so pushing would still be a 3xpot overbet. I thought I shouldn't push them out yet. (The money went in after my raise).

    Um, this makes no sense. It's No Limit. This must be a glitch. Have you reported it?
    My initial reaction was 'glitch' but I vaguely remembered a rule about underbets when someone raises all-in but doesn't have enough for a minraise. edit: thanks for the explanation Spenda.

    Cool. I still get sucked out on by the full house (guy wasn't laying down jacks here) but at least no flush.

    That's check/shove or bet/shove right?

    Ah...that makes sense.
