Re: Dealer\'s call
[ QUOTE ]
If a betting line was in force, you didn't call. But a line on the table doesn't mean anything. Betting lines are totally house dependent.
But otherwise, this move is very often considered a binding call. Any chips that are moved forward past the front edge of your cards are a bet. That's awfully common. And I thought it was an AC "standard". I ain't played in AC more than like 4 hours, but that's what the AC visitors to Vegas keep telling us.
If you want to count your chips, count 'em behind your cards or beside your cards.

That pretty much sums it up.
The line is a 'put your chips past this point so the dealer can reach easily' line at the Borgata. I have made and seen many bets and folds where the action was binding before the line was broken, much less crossed.
What I will do to make sure I don't get called on this is indicate to the dealer that I'm thinking about it. I also keep my stacks clean for just this purpose, so I can count-down my chips without touching em.
I'd also love to know how you moved your chips from behind your cards to in front of your cards and still had 8 inches to the line.
