Big Chip Rule in Cash Games?

Both of them are calls, folks.

The first case of the $25 chip going in is brainless. Cut and dried.

The second case is more interesting. The wager to the guy is $6. He puts out two red chips. That's a call because one red chip isn't enough to call. Therefore, the second red chip is the single extra chip. Someone with no singles facing a wager of $6 will naturally put out two reds intending to call.

When there's room to ask "is that a call or raise" it is a call. If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

This is correct. Intent matters not, the action matters. The string bet is a perfect example. In the case of almost every string bet I've ever seen the intent was clearly to raise. It matters not. A string bet is a call.
