Default Is this a string bet?

Resorts in Indiana 5-10 nl.

Player brings chips out with both hands, in front of his cards, drops the chips out of one hand (other hand is in front of his cards), then tries to bring the other chips down to bet with them as well. Dealer calls a string bet. Legit or not?

Nope. Dealers can't call string bets. Only players in the hand.

Depends on the room. In some rooms the dealer is required to call string bets.

Unless he brought both hands out at the same time, it is considered two moves( right hand, then left hand) and therefore a string.
If he brings both hand/chips out at the SAME time then no string.

Dealer calling strings is room dependant.

It is arguable that if the rule is posted "string bets are not allowed" then the dealer SHOULD call strings as it is a house rule and should be enforced uniformly by the dealers.

Protect the players, sometimes the opponent wants the other player to raise more.

I was thinking that Resorts in Indiana (much to my surprise) used traditional NL betting rules, so no not a string bet.

Default Re: Is this a string bet?

The intent of the string bet rule is (in the absence of a verbal declarartion) to make a player put his chips into the pot in one unambiguous motion.

Dropping one fistful of chips....






and then dropping the second fistful

is not one continuous motion.
Tell Junior to grow up, stop watching TV pokah, and play Poker.

My vote is for string bet.
