villain asks for chip count, dude spreads out his chips, across the commitment line, announcing 4,500 left.

(dude has TT)

What room? more details please.

whats the angle?

Re: sweet angle
 

he's betting but it looks inadvertent - he's pretending it's just a count

Therefore when the dealer says "the bet is 4500" he can throw a hissy about betting to try to look weak.

But he didn't bet, he was asked for a count and he counted. Noone could reasonably call that a bet just because his count put chips over the line.

MrX with the TT checks?
Opponent asks for chip count?
MrX counts his chips over the "line"?

That it?

It is not MrX's turn. How can it be construed as a bet?

Remember, this isn't Vegas, and that the line on the felt is a true commitment line.
Therefore, even action out of turn (such as mucking, or more commonly betting out of turn) usually stands. I say usually, cause this is poker after all, not an exact science...

Now, in this instance the player was def. doing it on purpose, but the dealer was none too sharp and didn't mention anything, one way or another.

He has checked.
How can he "bet out of turn"?

Re: sweet angle
 

first that is an absurd rule even if your not in vegas.

I wouldn't play in a room like this because I would have to assume the rest of the rules are equally absurd.
