Re: how is this a string raise???

[ QUOTE ] don't be a douchebag and throw chips in one at a time [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. One of the few things that is almost as annoying as Slow Rolling. [/ QUOTE ] eh ok I almost never do this. It just happened. I can't see how I can string from the BB. Anyway, I didn't wanna take it up with the floor because the dealer was certain she was right, and also, I had A4o, so I wasn't losing that much value and I didn't wanna hold up the game. Clearly the guy was making a huge angle shot on me, which doesn't surprise me at all. He seems like a scumbag from the times I have played with him before. I guess I'll ask the floor next time I go whether that was a proper call or not. The dealer seemed pretty insistent that I was in the wrong. I am just dumbfounded that someone would call string on the bb.

Re: how is this a string raise???
Do I have this right -- You're BB, unraised pot and it's your option.
You throw in a chip (not enough to make it a complete raise) I think you've committed yourself to bet at this point. If you tried to pull your bet back, the dealer should say, "You've made a raise, please put in two more chips." So, putting in two more chips is the only action permissible for you. No string raise. I don't know why you didn't just throw in your entire raise to begin with. But that's another story.

C'mon, you really don't know why? Throwing your chips out one at a time is pretty much the equivalent of going back to your stack every time. I've seen it come up a few times. In one game the guy was doing it to me as I sat there for awhile as he put out his 16 chips. Dealer was looking at me waiting for me to call a stringer if I wanted to. I ended up raising the guy.(not that I would call a stringer anyways) Edit: I can see it being closer since you are in the BB, it's preflop action and it's not a reraise. b

Re: how is this a string raise???
Most of what has been said about your action has been said, but I had a similar situation the other day in the SB. I didn't say raise, and I had all the chips in my hand but I was flicking them out of my fist one at a time. Like a Pez dispenser. The dealer was a total bitch about it. Meh, is that a string? She said it was "stringy", which sounded to me like code for "I don't like it but I don't have a good reason not to because what you did is within the rules".
