Re: Calling String Bets: Rude?
[ QUOTE ]
My point though is...why bother? The entire point of the rule is to prevent angleshooting...and that's not a problem here. So again...other than just trying to be a "rule nazi" what's the point? If you're playing with people who are there to have fun and essentially throw their money away...why not let them throw it away how they want?

The point isn't to prevent angleshooting because the term doesn't apply here, its to prevent mixups and confusion. What happens if the next player says I call at the sametime as the first says I call and...
It isn't being a rule nazi as that term also doesn't apply here. I'm not saying to disallow the bet, just give the guy a reminder to annouce his raise properly like I raise $20. It still keeps the game friendly and help prevents confusion or mixups. If someone is going to get upset over a polite reminder then you don't want them in the game to begin with.
