If the half bet rule is in place (the standard for limit in progressive clubs), then Player A bet $8, Player B raised to $16, and Player C raised to $20 when he should have raised to $24. Since $20 is half way to the correct raise, it should have been corrected to $24.

This doesn't come up in LA becasue the play limit with one color of chips (as they should). This is not a half bet situation becasue if he wanted to call $16 with $5 chips he would also put in $20 so this is a call.

I overlooked this and Randy is correct. Because Player B did not say raise, putting in four $5 chips chips constitutes a call of the preceding raise to $16. Had he put in ten $2 chips, the bet would be corrected to a reraise using the half bet rule.

Putting in an oversized chip (or oversized chips) without saying raise means you call. If you want to raise you need to say raise when putting in the big chip(s). If you are the lead bettor, then the oversized bet speaks for itself.
