Cripes, I hope I never get all the "it's a raise!" people all at my table at once. You probably take forever to act and say things like "re-cap ahhahahahahaha". [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Most of those saying "raise" seem to be creating rather convoluted examples and disregarding some common sense when arguing letter of rules. There have been several rather clear explanations of why it's a call and not a raise in unambiguous terms. You don't need to argue, you need to go back and read.

Here's how I handle it, either at work or in a home game. "Time. Is that a call?" The vast majority of the time, it was intended as a call.

So the rules say it's a call and the vast majority of those who do it intend a call. I say it's a call.

And now that I've finished this post, the word "call" looks weird and has lost all meaning to me.
