Re: Ruling Re: Raise or Call
[ QUOTE ]
know we have covered this generally before, but today i saw a ruling on a version I hadn't seen before.
Blinds are $75 & $150.he Big Blind is posted as 1 $100 chip and 2 $25 chips. Middle position player raises to $525, theres a call and when it gets to the big blind he reaches in and takes back the $100 chip and 1 $25 chip (leaving one $25 chip) and then throws out a $1000. Dealer announces this as a raise, player objects saying he only intended to call (but make it easier for the dealer to make change) and that he threw out a single oversized chip so it is a call.
Floor rules this is a call per oversized chip rule, but i don't think this ruling is correct. It seems to me that the by pulling back two of the three chips and then throwing out an oversized chip the player was essentially throwing out two chips.

Ill say the same thing ive said to players who move the button without saying anything... then protest when i move it.
"Stop trying to help me" (with a grin).
Trying to "make things easier" doesnt always...many times it causes more problems. This is a perfect example.
Technically, he made a raise whether he meant to or not.
Had he pulled all his blind chips then tossed the single chip in..no problem.
