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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
