Can a dealer disallow a raised bet in a poker game?

[Julio88]

Yes, a dealer can disallow a raise in a poker game. This usually happens when a player has made a raise that violates the house rules or that is deemed to be a form of collusion. It is important for players to be aware of the house rules before they make any raises, as this can help to prevent any misunderstandings or disputes. Additionally, the dealer should be aware of the rules and be prepared to intervene if any violations occur.

In a formal poker game, a dealer has the authority to make decisions and enforce the rules.

If a player makes a bet that is not in compliance with the specific rules of the game, the dealer has the right to disallow the bet.

However, in informal games or home games, the rules may be less strict and the decision to disallow a bet may be left to the discretion of the players.

Your statement is valid. The dealer is much more liable to take control within games that have elements of collusion in them and is subsequently able to disallow raises and call bets. In fact, this shows that the dealer can exercise their authority
