Very questionable floor decision at the Gold Strike

Yes, but if someone thinks that he is raising $15, and says it, shouldn't he at least be forced to do what he thinks he is doing?

You don't think there is a difference between raising your opponent's last $15 to just get it in (on the assumption that it is going in on the flop anyway) and opening yourself up to a reraise?
If you cut the newbie slack for not knowing that the cash plays, then you have to look at his 'raise' from his perspective. He 'thinks' he is just getting last chips into the pot, not 'raising'.

Once everything was explained the kid was not given the option to do anything. The floor closed off the action. The player did not "call". The floor said to put in the $35 and deal out the flop.

At the very least, as RR has mentioned, the kid should have been given the option to call, fold, or raise. This option was never given.
