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.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it. However, again, just because you're moving forward with both hands doesn't mean everyone should assume you will drop chips out of both hands. It opens the door for that misuse. Think of how others may percieve it not just who you are in doing it. You will eventually see others who do this and don't drop chips then you'll know what I'm talking about as far as how it can appear.

But, if you say raise, hell, you can put the chips in 1 chip at a time incorporating your feet if you want. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
