Walter Montego: Yes, I agree I will have to be more clear next time. But, like Grenv stated, in a normal game the minimum bet is 0 and you will always be out of the game with a zero bet. I just thought it was self evident that a bet of 19,000 was the same as betting 0 in a normal game, and you should be in the pond.
And Stevie... yes a minimum bet is okay, just as a bet of 0 in a normal game is okay, it just means you do not continue in the game.
