Complete the Bet ( poker )


When an all-in player initiates the betting with a bet that is less than the current limit, the next player can complete the bet by bringing it up to the limit. For example, in a $20/$40 hold 'em game, on the last round a player has only $35 remaining, which he bets. If the next player puts in $40, he has completed the bet. Clubs have various rulings on whether a player with less than a full bet may even initiate the betting (or call, for that matter) and also on whether succeeding players may just call that amount,
must complete the bet, or are permitted to raise.
