Default Re: Question on raising/\"one chip rule\"

So it seems that there are two clear cases in the common rules that a bet released into a pot without an accompanying verbal declaration is a call, even though the amount of the bet would constitute a legal raise.

1. One large denomination chip is released into the pot and even if the amount would consitute a legal raise, it is ruled a call.

2. Two chips are released into the pot such that while the amount does consitute a legal raise, the circumstances appear, and are common, that the intent of the player was to call.

In both of the above instances, a player would have to verbally state raise, and then release the chips into the pot. Otherwise, they are both considered calls.

Are there any other circumstances like this or are these the only two rules regarding calls and non-verbal actions?
