Default Re: To speak or not to speak, that is the question

[ QUOTE ]
Story 1: Tough call. Generally, I like to let players still in the hand call stuff like this -- and string raises, for example -- because Player C could have wanted all of Player A's chips in the middle. Given that C is inexperienced, I can see an argument for speaking up to protect him, but I think I keep quiet.

If C were experienced, he would know (or be expected to know) that A cannot raise and thus that he cannot get all of A's chips in on this street by just calling. Therefore that is not a valid defense, and C shouldn't expect to be allowed to call.
If C is not experienced, he has the right to be protected from illegal moves that he may not know are illegal. Thus, C should not be forced to call.
