That's also true at San Pablo in the Bay Area. I was a little shocked when someone was just holding chips over the line to bet and was forced to raise in a limit game. Also, they wouldn't allow a person to hold the chips over and say "raise" if there weren't enough in his/her hand. Seemed sort of absurd. Meanwhile, at Oaks, you can pull back a raise if you did it accidentally, and the line there is meaningless.

Right...where I play at Choctaw, the betting line is like the endzone. All you have to do is break the plane with the ball (chips), and its in (the pot).
