Re: A very interesting ethics situation and a Bellagio Floor ruling

I always color up my chips, and use large denominations so betting isn't difficult for me. I go out there, and cut it down across the betting line, and when I'm finished that is my bet.

I've admittedly never played live NL, so I'm pretty naive here, but why wouldn't you cut your chips behind the betting line instead of across it? This way you could put the entire bet out in one motion. Then if anyone said, "I call" while you were cutting chips you (or the dealer) could simply say that there's no bet to call yet. Or is there some nuanced psychological thing I'm missing?
