Interesting B+M situation with verbal bets binding situation and KARMA

I'd be careful with tossing in a single chip without declaring the amount of the bet. In many of the AC casinos, for example, a single chip bet without a declaration is ruled either the minimum bet, or a call, whichever is applicable. I see this happen all the time when someone tosses in a green or black chip meaning to bet that amount or raise to that amount but the house calls it as the minumum amount.

In a no-limit game in AC this is absolutely not true.

If a player in front of you bets, tossing in a single chip consitutes a call (assuming the chip is large enough to cover the bet). Tossing in a single chip without saying anything when you are opening the betting means that you are betting that amount.

In the situation described here, tossing in a $500 chip on the river without saying anything would consistute a $500 bet.


In regards to giving back some of the money: is he really live enough that you think you will be able to win >$200 from him thorughout the night? I don't care how fishy the guy is, I would take the money as ruled, since there is no guarantee he will continue to play. Or maybe he'll stack off that $200 later, but to someone else.

I keep the money, per floors' ruling.
