Ruling Question: Oversize Chip Thrown On Top of Blind

[JohnnyGroomsTD]

It's a call at Beau Rivage, and at any poker tournament I am associated with. The rule was intended to prvent an ambiguous action. If there is any doubt about a players intended action in that spot, it is ruled a call. the rule reads " when a player places an oversized chip in the pot without announcing the intention to raise, it will be considered a call" verbage may not be exact, but the fact that the player is actually placing ONE chip into the pot at the time covers this situation.

its a call...and the dealer should announce it as a call right away, and not ask if it is a call or a raise. Oversized Chip Rule.

it was a call in the foxwoods 10k last week

This just happened to me, as well.

At 100-200 I threw in a 500 chip in the small blind intending on raising.

I was under the impression that the oversized chip rule only mattered in those situations when you don't have smaller chips to make change. Guess not.

it's simple no matter what if you put an oversized chip in the pot it's a call. even if you're playing 1/2 no limit and you have 100 $1 chips in front of you and you place a $500 dollar chip in the pot without saying anything, you called a $2 bet. it's that simple. (oversized chip = call). how is this open for so much debate and questions? if you want to raise, just say raise. not that difficult.

but from the big blind it's still a raise, right? 1-2, limped, option, throw out a purple, poof! 700 total.

[moorbr02]

500 total, but only from the option. that's a raise because they pulled back the 2. but call for everyone else
