Quick question, could @Whistle_Pig just pass?

63

A bid of $0 is equivalent to passing, no?

Is that a hint that I need to hurry up and bid? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Take your time! Take all the luxurious time you need! Provided, that is, you need the time to double-check the massive pile of money you are bidding. :wink:

How are ties settled in auctions? Assuming the seller doesnā€™t buy?

Tied top bids enter a second bid, auctioneer isnā€™t allowed to choose to accept or decline until thereā€™s a clear winner. Noting that the second bid is in addition to the amounts committed to the initial pot.

[EDIT] Example: you tie with a $20 bid and want to make your total $22 in the showdown, you bid only $2.

Yes. Although in most cases itā€™s best to use your bluff to coax other players into bidding a little higher, if youā€™re dead broke, everyone knows it and you donā€™t plan to take a loan, might as well just call sitting this one out. Iā€™ve seen auctions won for a pittance though so usually you want to participate in some way or another.

@VictorViper is next? Iā€™m assuming for a cash poor turn.

This guy? I donā€™t know what youā€™re talking about.

@VictorViper takes a loan. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
