how is this a string raise???
Someone limps to me from the SB in a 3 chip 6 chip structured 15/30 game. I am in the BB and I throw out one chip, and another and another to raise. Villain calls string.
IMO this should NOT be considered a string, because I was unambiguously raising. However, villain said that because I put the chips in one at a time and didn't announce raise, that my raise wasn't valid. Your thoughts? I have never seen this come up before. |

What did the dealer say?
Seems like a raise to me. But you could have been clearer. |

Since your first chip was less than half the size of a required raise it could be considered an illegal raise. I'm not much of a limit player though.

If no one has raised in front of you I don't consider it possible to string from the BB.

Re: how is this a string raise???
I've had a string raise called on me before when I put out 15 chips in a 4 chip 8 chip game, since I didn't have the amount sufficient to raise in my hand. My intention could not have been more clear, just like in OP's case.
Some rooms/floors are just plain dumb. This is a raise. |

Because your action can't mean anything else, it is a raise.
If the Dealer ruled it a string raise I would call the Floor. If the Floor ruled it a string raise I would take it up with the Floor Supervisor later. IMO, its not important enough to stop the game more than it already has been stopped. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree with this. But come on, either say raise, or don't throw chips one at a time. |
