First of all sorry if I sounded like a douche. I had to say it was a home game in a college dorm, and the fact that we've been playing for over a year together and nothing like this ever occured. I know as the best player there I'm not necessarily right, which is why I posted here. And furthermore, I do not always think I can bust aces and kings with 26o, but I am always willing to call a raise because I know they cannot lay down aces or kings if I flop big, and I have huge implied odds.

Secondly, it seems that some people think I just throw my chips out and change my mind whenever I want. I never do or intend to do that, and seriously it's just to save time, minimal as it is. Rather than count out how much I want THEN putting it in, I'm doing it AS i put it in. And rather than announce it before I put it in, I announce it AS I'm putting it in. I always declare how much I make it before the last chips leave my hand. I know it sounds dumb, but I like to save time. And yes, I did not have enough chips the first time I stuck my hand in, but before the chips left my hand I verbalized the intention to raise more. Dunno if that works.

And last of all, it IS a casual college game that we used to play pretty much 5 days out of 7 last year, it reduced somewhat this year but it's EXTREMELY casual. Announcing raises and literally saying raise is pretty rare, there's anything from "ill make it 8", "raise 3", "double it", "call and add 4 more" to "i'll put <john> all in" when it's a 5 way pot with everyone still left to act. First time it's come up really. I had to talk about my playstyle and how I busted people with marginal holdings only because I think he was really steamed when I busted him earlier, and had to throw that out to be considered.

SOrry again for sounding like a douche, but obviously us poker players have a bit of a ego to uphold...especially college ones like me
