reraise allins disallowed - software issue?

edited June 2011 in Poker Chat
Was in a tourney . Had pocket pair so pushed hoping to take out a small stack . Was called by a.n. other and re-raised all in by the small stack. I wanted to push all-in to isolate him ( had 88 against 33 ) but the software would only allow me to call his all-in which give Mr a.n. other only a small amount to call me which cost me the hand where my pushing all-in might have made him fold.
Why could I not push ? Is this a software issue or is there some hidden rule I've missed ? Anybody know ?

    If the all-in was less than a min raise i.e. an under raise as far as i am aware you can only call.

    exactly what belsibub said eg if you raise to 800 and someone flats then the shorty shoves for say 1k you are only able to call the extra 200 as it is under the min raise if he had 1600 then you would then be able to shove over the top as he has made an all in raise equivalent to a min raise

    Probably standard betting rules and not a software issue. I've just finished a tournament during which I had no problem 3-betting all-in at least a couple of times. Your description of the hand is a bit hard to follow, if you post it here you will get a 100% definite answer.

     BB was 100 My raise was 550 and he topped it up a further 85 chips so more than 6 BBs .

    Do you mean  85 or 850 ?

    If you make a raise of 550 an all-in has to be another 550 higher than that to count as a re-raise, otherwise it only counts as a call, if somebody else then flat calls the all-in when it comes back round to you can only call or fold.

    It's well worth remembering this rule, particularly in bounty hunters. Let's say you have a premium pair and you put in a raise hoping that a short stack after you will push, then you need to make your bet small enough that his push counts as a raise, not a call, that gives you the opportunity to go over the top of anybody else who decides to call to chase his bounty.

    To clarify He put in 100 ( 1 BB ) on button. I ( on SB )pushed to 550 called by BB . Button went in for 650 ( rough figures ) which is where I wanted to push allin  but couldn't .

    Not guilty on this occasion, in fact, I'm not old enough - it's been a standard rule of poker, Live & Online, forever, & even I'm not THAT old!

    Did you play a pot limit tourney by accident?
