Re: \"All in?\" asked as a question, not a statement - ruling?
[ QUOTE ]
2/5NL stacks irrelevant. After the river is dealt Player A bets 60.00, Player B raises to 200.00, Player A, says, "I'm all in", Player B responds "all in?" as a question, not a statement.
Ruling?

Let's pretend this happened in LA. As a floor it isn't easy to verify the facts (i.e., intonation; meaning of the declaration) in a city where just about every known language is spoken and the poker floor is a virtual powder keg.
If I could verify the facts as stated in the OP I'd rule it as action on Player B. But the reality is by the time any floor would be called he would be facing a nightmare of confusion and conflicting testimony.
Players need to be more careful. If you aren't sure of the action call time and ask the dealer "What is the action?". Avoid saying the words "bet" or "check" or questioning the action (i.e., "All in?"); such words are easily confused with actual action in a noisy, chaotic cardroom.
