Question on raising/"one chip rule"

[QuadsOverQuads]

By standard poker rules, placing $10 into the pot when facing a $6 bet and a minimum reraise size of $4 is a clear raise. The full amount of the raise has been placed into the pot, using multiple chips (hence, no recourse to the oversized chip rule).

As a dealer, I will call this a binding raise 100% of the time (and I deal a low-limit spread game where situations like this are not uncommon).

If you fail to call this situation consistently, you open your game up to the following angle-shot:

SB : $1
BB : $2
P1 : $6 (+$4)
P2 : $10 (two red chips)
P2 then looks around for reaction.
P2 (*likes reaction*) : "that was a raise! I put $10 out!"
P2 (*doesn't like reaction*) : "that was a call! My intent was clearly just to call!"

I have players who will use this angle at almost every opportunity if given the chance. Part of my job as a dealer is to make sure my game doesn't provide them that opportunity.
