And again, the OP ends up being a $2000 bet into a $460 pot. You really think, by the description, the player had any intent of making that size bet?

I'm sure he would if he knew his opponent would call.

And he only "knows" his opponent will call by knowing his buddy the Floor will back him with a horrible ruling.
Get real.
Do you bet $2000 by grabbing $400 first and then cutting off $100 piles?

'horrible' ruling? get real, this is standard.

Well when your opponent lets you know that he's calling any bet that you make, before you even make it, out of turn, the intent changes doesn't it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd intend to go all in.
Like I said, this has happened to me twice. It was an obvious angle shoot both times, trying to get a cheap showdown. If you play by the rules you don't have to worry about this kind of thing.
