Our monthly game ran into a snag yesterday.

Only two left in the hand. I was out of the hand.

Player #1 says to Player #2, "I'm putting you all-in. How much do you have?" (We're playing table stakes.) Player #2 counts it up and starts to push it in, calling his bluff. Player #1 backs out of the hand and mucks his cards.

I shut it down. I told Player #1 he had made a bet and been called, therefore losing the hand. Player #1 insisted he hadn't made a bet. Player #2 didn't push it. After some back and forth everyone agreed to let it stand and move on. I don't agree that that was the right call.

My feeling is that Player #2 was asked to commit, and he did. Player #1 did not have the option to withdraw.

What do you think?

"I'm putting you all in" I don't play poker but to me this shows intend.

Ran it by a connection I have with Champions Club Texas. https://www.championsclubtexas.com/ He said Player #1 would have been offered a brisk walk to the front door and barred from any further play at any of their facilities.

Used to play. I’m with you.
Thanks for the update.

Ken, you are correct.
