Re: \"All in?\" asked as a question, not a statement - ruling?
I'm seeing this angle more and more frequently at my room, too.
"Check?"
"Bet?"
"Raise?"
"Call?"
And then there's the variable-volume version:
"did he CHECK?"
"you RAISE?"
"did she CALL?"
And my personal favorite:
"what-if-I-went ALL IN?"
Another related angle:
* 3/6 game
* flop action is complete
* turn is being brought
* guy with first action calls "six!" as the card is being brought
* dealer takes it as a bet
* after seeing reaction, guy objects: "no, I was just asking for a six!"
Lately, I've seen dealers all over the map on this bullsh*t move, too.
My view : it is the player's responsibility to keep their verbal actions clear and unambiguous, and anything short of that is done completely at the player's risk and should be called aggressively by the dealer (and the floor if necessary).
Unfortunately, proper enforcement on these angle-shots varies greatly from room-to-room (with many rooms ignoring them completely).
