Default Re: Is this close to a string raise?

My biggest problem with the string raise is that people call it at all. We play 30/60 here with red chips. I don't know why people do but they do and if you want to 3 bet the turn well it's going to take a month to do it and a truckload of chips. "Excuse me can you get the chip runner, I need to raise" what seems to happen now is that people just announce what's happening and then we square up the chips at then end.

SO Bet, I raise, 3 bet, cap it up. Ok here is my rack of red for the round.

Well as you can imagine there are more "string raises" in this game than a high picking guitar monkey on an amphetamine enima. When someone calls one, I keep think that pulling their fingernails off would be nicer than what the rest of the table wants to do to them. Personally I like to think you can go back for a continuous motion in this game, but oh well some people are just picky.
