Default Re: Matusow\'s forward chip movement -- call???

[ QUOTE ]
Last week in a WPF tourney at Foxwoods this happened on the first hand. I checked my cards right after the deal and put a 25 chip on them. When it was my turn to act, I pushed the chip off the cards, but forward not sideways and mucked.

The dealer says that's a call. They have a line but the chip got no where's near the line. I argued that it was obviously a fold and everyone at the table agreed with me but they all said that the instructions which I missed said if you move your chips forward of the cards it's a bet.

Since it was first hand and only a 25 chip they all let it slide.

T......I'm sure that if you check with Mike Ward, what he will tell you is that the line is for posting blinds and placing calls/raises with the sole reason being that it is there so that the dealers can easily reach all chips in action........
