Single chip non-verbal raise?
 

What is the rule for betting a single chip that is greater than the minimum bet, and not verbalizing the bet?

Situation:
Blinds are 2/4.
Folded to the CO who puts in a single t10 chip and doesn't say anything.

Is this a raise or is this a call.

gl,
Mike.

No verbal decleration? Sounds like a raise to me.

usually just a call. depends on your home rules I guess.

What about in a casino? Does this rule vary or is it a standard?

Preflop it's a call. Postflop it's a raise.

Where I play, if you put just one chip into the pot without saying anything then it's always just a call, regardless of the chip's denomination.

Roberts Rules of Poker --

Section 3 -- Betting and Raising (Rule 15).

"15. If you put a single chip in the pot that is larger than the bet , but do not announce a raise , you are assumed to have only called. Example: In a $3-$6 game, when a player bets $6 and the next player puts a $25 chip in the pot without saying anything, that player has merely called the $6 bet ."

yep, I remember live at the bike had a hand like this and it was ruled a call. Guy put in a single chip much larger than the blind (NL game) and never said raise.

It's a call.

It can get pretty bad. I was playing live and had AA preflop. It came to me, and I said "Y'all know how I roll." and threw in a large chip.

The dealer made change for me. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Apparently the way I roll is by revealing the strength of my hand without getting more bets into the pot, embarassing myself and losing money.

That's the limit rule. The rule is different in No-Limit:

Chapter 14:

11. A bet of a single chip or bill without comment is considered to be the full amount of the chip or bill allowed. However, a player acting on a previous bet with a larger denomination chip or bill is calling the previous bet unless this player makes a verbal declaration to raise the pot. (This includes acting on the forced bet of the big blind .)
