you had all better learn to wait till the person shoves the money forward before acting. tv it might work but in real life poker you are going to get some rulings that would shock you. heed my words.

Good point as usual. A lot of us who read 2+2 tend to be extra careful but my concern is that poorly written or bad rules combined with staff inexperience/lack of sense is going to create more and more ugly situations, alienating the best customers and slowing the growth of the game.

i have seen a player even push his money in and then take it back after he lost and have the house let him keep it.

Any chance for the whole story?

i saw a person verbally bet 1500 dollars and only have 1495 and push all that in and the other person call with the winner. then the floorman ruled he gets his 1495 back as he didnt complete the bet he called out.

One LA club uses a policy/rule where any raise less than the minimum is a "fouled bet" and comes back (most other clubs use a half bet guideline to correct improper raises). IOW player A bets a stack of twenty $5 chips ($100) and player B shoves in two stacks of what looks like twenty chips each to raise the minimum (make it $200). If the stack of player B turns out to be one chip short and the floorman is called to the table the raise comes back. I would hope an extension of this logic isn't applied to the situation you describe but who knows.

i have on many occasions seen a verbal bet called and the person making it declare that wasnt what he said and fought hard over the money and the house let him keep it.

In LA a gazillion languages are spoken and the games are often played in the noisiest part of the club. It happens here.

as i always say a few times a year --hold your hand until the pot is pushed to you and dont act until the pot is correct with the money in it. do otherwise and the results are up to someone with no interest in you but having the lest amount of confrontation to face.

Sad but true.
