Default Re: \"All in?\" asked as a question, not a statement - ruling?

[ QUOTE ]
What is the difference between the question "all in?" and the statement "did he say all in?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe the fact that we are dealing with the spoken word, not the written word.
Maybe the fact that the statement "All in." and the question "All in?" are very close in the spoken word, while easily distinguishable in the written word.
Maybe the fact that I can say "All in" as a statement, but change my mind and argue that I was asking a question, and it is next to impossible for the dealer or floor to know the truth.
