Re: Which one is binding?
The verbal declaration is binding. The same as if he'd declared "raise" but only put in enough chips to call; he would then be required to add enough chips to complete a minimum raise. This of course assumes that he announced the $200 raise before he placed $300 in chips into the pot.

Re: Which one is binding?
What if the mistake isn't discovered until after the hand is finished. A player bets $200 but puts in $300. A second player calls and places $300 in the pot. They finish the hand before the mistake is discovered. What do you do?

Re: Which one is binding?
[ QUOTE ]
A player announces he is going to bet $200 but he accidentally puts $300 in chips into the pot. What do you do? [/ QUOTE ] According to Robert's Rules of Poker: [ QUOTE ] 9. A verbal statement denotes your action and is binding. If in turn you verbally declare a fold, check, bet, call, or raise, you are forced to take that action. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 8. If there is a discrepancy between a player's verbal statement and the amount put into the pot, the bet will be corrected to the verbal statement. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] What if the mistake isn't discovered until after the hand is finished. A player bets $200 but puts in $300. A second player calls and places $300 in the pot. They finish the hand before the mistake is discovered. What do you do? [/ QUOTE ] Maybe this helps: [ QUOTE ] 16. All wagers and calls of an improperly low amount must be brought up to proper size if the error is discovered before the betting round has been completed. This includes situations such as betting a lower amount than the minimum bring-in (other than going ) and betting the lower limit on an upper limit betting round. If a wager is supposed to be made in a rounded off amount, is not, and must be corrected, it shall be changed to the proper amount nearest in size. No one who has acted may change a call to a raise because the wager size has been changed. [/ QUOTE ] I realize that in the case in question it is an improperly high amount ($100+), so this rule might not apply. But it shows a tendency of how such an error could be handled. However, it is oviously way too late to change the amount after the hand has been finished. Attention must be called to the betting error before the betting round is completed, I think.
