Re: Floor Ruling on a player\'s action
I would rule that he made a bet.
I think this is different than having chips in your hand and putting your hand out. These chips are on the felt and have moved into an area that is clearly intended as a bet.
A similar situation is when a player is contemplating a call of a river bet. If he pushes chips out and this causes the bettor to flip over his winning hand, then the action is considered a call.
See the parenthesis in this rule in Robert's:
13. A player who bets or calls by releasing chips into the pot is bound by that action and must make the amount of the wager correct. (This also applies right before the showdown when putting chips into the pot causes the opponent to show the winning hand before the full amount needed to call has been put into the pot.)
So anyways, if it's my cardroom it's a bet and if you don't like it, take your angleshooting ass and play somewhere else.
