Hello,
Say in a heads-up action, there were two players and the blinds were at 400 & 800. Player 1 was the small blind and then player 2 was the big blind. Eventually, player 1 called the big blind and then expressed verbally he’d raise. Player 2 then went all in and so player 1 folded. By the way, player 1 was not given the chance to say how much he’d raise.
So now, what do you think happens next right after player 1 folded? At some point, I thought that player 1 should raise but I don’t know how much. What do you think?
In advance, thank you.

David,
Player 1 must raise. Since he did not declare an amount or push any chips out, he is only forced to put a raise in of the minimum, which is the size of the big blind.

A similar thing happened on Poker After Dark in quite an interesting hand. Sheikhan said raise out of turn. Benyamine checked, Sheikhan said check but was forced to bet. So he bet minimum. Benyamine raised and Sheikhan reraised! Sheikhan ended up sucking out on the river.
