It is after the flop. 3 left in: players a, b, c.
player a leads for 200
player b goes all-in with his remaining 325 - an under-raise.
what does player c have to put in the pot in total as a minimum to make a legal raise? It's 325 to call I know. I also know that player a cannot re-raise (unless c raises of course). But does player c need to put in 400 to raise, or 525. I think it is the 525 but I aint sure.
thanks

I think in homegames whenever I've been in charge 525 would be the legal raise.
If the all-in player had pushed for less than half of the minimum legal raise, player C would have more options: flat-call, complete the bet to 400, or raise to 600+.
In the given hand, player A would indeed be able to re-raise in the given scenario, if C just called, since the raise of 125, while under 200, is still more than half and counts as a full raise.
I don't know offhand how different sites/houses do it. Robert's rules seems pretty vague on NL:
| Quote: | | Any wager must be at least the size of the previous bet or raise in that round, unless a player is going all-in. |
But the above seems consistent with what he describes in FL, and the general rule of thumb I go by is:
a raise of >=50% of the minimum size is treated as a 'full bet' or 'full raise,' whereas <=50% is not.
