{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
For a "Raise" the "amount" specified in the \<action\_obj> should be the amount the player put into the pot for this action.

For example, if a player bet $2 and was raised then re-raised to a total of $20 the amount for the raise should be 18.00
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a player faces a $50 bet and raises $100 to $150, the amount is $150.
{% endhint %}

The player raises to $100 flat:

```javascript
"amount": 100.00
```
