Default Re: Question on raising/\"one chip rule\"

This may not be as intuitive, but the "one chip" rule applies. As the rule is written, it says one "oversized chip" is a call and not a raise. In the example, the first $5 chip is insufficient to call the current bet of $6. Thus, the player must put in an additional chip. An additional $1 chip would make everything perfect. However, if the player puts in an additional oversized chip here, it is still just a call. Thus, the only relevant chip is the one that brings the player up to (or beyond) a call.

That may be a stretch... but that's why I play a lawyer in real life.
