Default Re: declaring all-in in a limit game

Ok so now my question is was that all in declare actually binding?

No. You have to go through the motions and raise, reraise, re-reraise, re-re-raise, etc. at the limit you are playing at until you are actually out of chips (instert house rules diclaimer here).

A dealer here recently got busted by gaming for allowing a few players to "cap it" to $30 in one betting motion in a 5/5 limit game without going through raise, reraise motions.

I'm sure this is true in Colorado, where there is a $5 limit on all bets and the Gaming commission is notorious for never letting common sense interfere with a strictly literal interpretation of the regulations. However, it would not surprise me if cardrooms in states with less stringent regulations would allow players heads up in a limit game save time. If the rules permit them to do this, surely the all-in declaration should be binding, and and making an all-in declaration and not honoring it when called is the lowest form of angle shooting in any case.
