I am trying to get a regular hold'em game started and I had a question about the first round of betting. Okay, so, left of the dealer kicks in half the minimum bet, left of him/her kicks in the minimum bet. Then 2 cards are dealt to everyone. Left of the big blind starts... either fold, call, or raise. Let's say that everyone calls... dealer calls, small blind calls. Can the big blind, at this point, raise the bet? Meaning... does the big blind have any play on the opening bet? I hope I'm making sense.
Thanks,
jason

Yeah, the big blind is a "live blind" meaning that it gets the chance to raise even if everyone just calls the minimum.
