I'm gonna guess that you won't find many poker rooms that will regularly let folks add to their stack during a hand even if all impacted parties agree. RR is on the record in another thread saying he wouldn't allow it. I'm on the record saying I think it should be allowed if everybody in the hand agrees. He works in a casino and I program computers. He has the wisdom of the ages in knowing what works and doesn't work. Philosophically, I see no harm in it. In practice, it could get pretty unpleasant I imagine.

I doubt you can mosey up to the suits in Bellagio, Caesars, Mirage, Venetian, Wynn and get them to agree to this. But if y'all at the table agree to it and the hand proceeds, I would like to hope the floor people won't demand the money come back and will refuse to let the cash be passed under the table (or in the restroom).

I actually saw a 2/5 hand at Caesars where the dealer and a floor person watching allowed someone to retract a bet. Guy bet like $300 on the turn. Other player gave the usual "why so much... I'd call less" response. Only this time they both agreed to make the wager $100 and he'd call. Guy doing the "why so much" actually held the nuts. He lost the hand to like a 3-outter on the river. That's one of those classic "too smart for your own good, you dumbass" poker moments. Afterwards, a 2nd floor person who had walked up in the middle announces "THIS WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN, GOT IT? ONCE A BET IS MADE, IT STAYS. NEVER AGAIN!!" But he didn't try to undo it. Action offer and accepted and all that.
