So what we're saying here is that we're going to allow this angle

[/ QUOTE ]

Where is the angle?


[/ QUOTE ]

the angle would be if someone intends to bet $800 but only grabs $400 in chips, and as they are cutting, they realize they don't have enough, and announce verbally "800". it's maybe an angleshoot if the opponent doesn't let them get to the verbal declaration, by saying "call" pre-emptively.

no, he can still bet 800, player 2 just doesn't have to call the 800. he isn't angling to disallow the 800 bet.
