If you don't say anything, yes, it can be a string raise if someone calls you on it. I know because I was a dick and called someone on it before. (1st and only time I've ever called a stringer on someone)

Many don't realize this can be seen as a stringer. One reason is because you can drop the chips at different times which is like going back to your stack.

As uncool as it may look, just put your chips in with one hand. There's no style points for 'how' you raise.

Jesus..., as I said before I'm not looking for style points. Its just how I naturally put 8 chips into the pot. When I raise preflop, its just 4 chips in one hand. I guess it gets some mental midgets on tilt....

I don't think its a string raise. I'm moving forward with both hands. I'm pretty sure I always say raise as I'm moving forward.
