Re: Floor Ruling on a player\'s action
[ QUOTE ]
In a heads up pot, guy 1 checks the river. Guy 2 pauses then stacks all his chips up and slides them forward past his cards. They move past the cards and are still in his hand, and Guy 1 instantly calls. So guy 2 still has his hands on the chips and pulls them back, then says I check. They call the floor over for a decision. What should it be?
There is no betting line at this casino.

Guy 1 should learn to wait until cards are completely released given we live in a world of angles.
That said Guy 2 "stacked all his chips" and slides them apparently in unison past his cards. I think his intention to bet all his chips has been made clear. I'd rule the bet stands.
Note that this isn't the same as a player palming a stack of twenty or so chips and cutting off let's say six for his lead bet. This method of betting has become commonplace in my area (LA) and therefore is accepted practice. Here the second player should wait to see how many chips are cut off before calling.
