Betting line vs no betting line at casinos, why?

i find the best way to avoid confusion is to verbally declare your action. Say "Raise" and then the amount.

Seriously, it's amazing how many problems would be fixed if people just verbalized their action.

It's like poker players are too lazy or something. Or maybe they think the way they say it might be a tell.

I saw that happen at Bay 101. A guy had gone all-in and an angle shooter opponent held his stack in the air past the line, but not on the felt, Matusow-style trying to get a reaction. First guy said "that's a call",

Of course, if the first guy was bluffing, he wouldn't have said anything. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Funny how that works.

Personally, I wait until the guy finishes his action. If I react too fast and fall for whatever he's trying to do, it's on me. I find myself more pissed at myself than the opponent because I know better.

I think too many want(selectively) compensation for not paying attention or being impatient.

There is this plus there are places where it is loud and hard to here and in some markets there are large numbers of non-native speakers. Also a lot of times new players have trouble remembering the correct words (I once had to rule on an obviously new player who said "call" as she threw her cards away because the dealer had told her "just tell me what you want to do").

They changed that rule in the new poker room at Green Valley. One can now open the betting by going over the line, dropping as many chips as you like, and returning with chips. The new rule brings them back in alignment with most of the rooms in town.

In LA when lead betting it has become accepted practice to allow a player to come out with a palm sized stack of chips (usually 20) and cut off the amount of his bet.
