Re: NL – “Half Bet Guideline” for Fixing Short Raises: Your Club\'s Rul

Here is a decision I made (I hope I can get the amounts right). First palyer bets $1600 putting in 3 $500 chips and a $100 chip. Next player puts in $2600 putting in 2 $1k chips a $500 chip and a $100 without comment. I am called to rule on if this is a raise. Notice that the second bet has the same number of chips as the first bet. Using a half bet rule this would be a raise. I ruled it was unclear and was not a complete bet so it was only a call. For waht it's worth there were some well known players int eh game and two of them caught up to me later and told me they were suprised to get a good ruling on that (at the time I was working at a casino that is known for having a weak staff).

What was the player who put in $2,600 saying about what he intended to do? And was that part of your consideration?

Suprisingly the player that put in 2600 had nothing to say. I am guessing he realized that saying something at this point could be bad for him as I dont' think he wanted to give away what his intention was; I think he wanted to get a ruling and move on.
