grenv, about the 19000 bid in a minimum 19000 bid pond. I noticed your comments just now, i would have answered earlier if i had seen them before. I did bid the minimum allowed and did not get splashed into the pond. Sure it is the minimum allowed, but in most of the minimum bid ponds someone does not play by the rules. I haven't seen one where everyone actually did bid atleast the minimum. So in most of them the lowest legal bet gets to stay in the game. Why would a bet of exactly the minimum be dealt differently than any other lowest legal bet? In most minumum bet ponds the lowest legal bidder gets to stay in without any questoning. I think it should be the case even if you bid the lowest amount allowed, if there is someone bidding under the low limit.
