Re: Question on raising/\"one chip rule\"
According to every set of rules I have ever seen, this is a clear "call".
The "one chip rule" should definitely be renamed to the "unclear bet rule" like someone else said on here. The reason is that a dealer or the table is completely unclear on what the person acting is intending to do. The rule should be rewritten something along these lines...
If there is a bet earlier in the round, and a player throws in enough chips to where the final chip thrown in makes the range of the total (example bet is 600, player throws in two 500 chips therefore making the "range" of the two chips thrown out 501-1000)amount of the call and the player does not announce raise, it is a call.
To raise without saying raise in this instance, you must throw out an extra chip to where the range is enough to be able to make a raise, and the raise is either the minimum raise allowed (if there is a 1000 chip bet and you throw three 500 chips out, you would have to make the minimum raise to 2000), or the full amount of the chips thrown out.
I know it sounds confusing but I think you get the general idea of what I mean.
