Ruling Question: Oversize Chip Thrown On Top of Blind

[Todd Terry]

This issue has come up a few times in recent tournaments I played, with of course different rulings at different places and different rulings at the same place. If someone in the blinds throws an oversize chip out on top of the blind (that is, without pulling back the blind), is it a call or a raise? For example, folded around to the SB, blinds 100/200, SB throws out a 500 chip on top of the 100 chip already out there without saying anything.

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.

What if the guy pulls in the 100 and then throws out the 100 and the 500 together?

[Deuce2High]

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.
