i think it should be a raise. i think the oversize chip rule should only apply to one chip.

for the guy talking about the "last significant chip rule":

say a guy throws out 5 $1 chips, and then realizes he's out of white, so he tosses in a redbird. you'd say this is a call. but, if he puts them all out at the same time, i don't think anyone could argue this isn't a raise.

more than one chip should be a raise imo unless the person states otherwise.

It's a call. It really is, everywhere. Honestly, I can't believe there's so much confusion and disagreement here! It's basically the rule that we all learned as kids for buying things with cash - toss enough coins in there to cover the price, then stop.

Anyone who thinks otherwise simply hasn't spent much time in B&M poker rooms. This situation comes up all day long, on every table every day. I suppose many of you folks are online players primarily.

It sounds complicated when it's written down, but it's obvious in real life. Again, it's the grammar school rule - the way we all learned to pay for our candy.
