Went out to Casino Rama last night to sign up for their next tourney. After driving all that way figured I may as well play a few hands. No waiting list for the 5/10 and one table was actually shorthanded which is bonus for me as that is pretty much all I have been playing lately.
Anyhow one hand I am not in flop is AA7 Turn is a 5. Just 2 guys in. Guy on my left tosses in 2 $5 chips. Guy on his left tosses in 4. Immediately notices that one of his 4 chips is actually a $25 chip so he pulls it back and replaces it with a $5. His whole transaction took maybe 2 and a half seconds. 4 chips in and then replaced the big one with correct value. Dealer immediately calls it a string bet. Neither player says a thing. I don't really care about him losing the bet but I don't want to be called on the same thing myself so I speak up for future's sake. "He tossed in 4 chips at once, noticed one was a $25 and immediately replaced it. That's not a string bet." Dealer calls over his boss. Explains the situation succinctly and correctly. Boss says "That's a string bet." They take the raise back. Happy ending for the player is river is a blank. They both check. First player turns over A7 for flopped boat. The guy that had to pull his raise back turns over A5 for a turned smaller boat. Anyhow is my definition of string bet deficient? No way do I think that was a string bet. Comments? |

Based on your description I would not call that a string bet, just a straight up mistake. The raise should have stood.

where i play, if more than half a raise goes in to the middle intentionally or unintentionally, its a raise (usually if a player throws in 3 chips instead of two by mistake nobody busts his balls to force it to be a raise)
i cant see why your situation wasnt considered a raise. |

According to Roberts Rules of Poker a raise occurs:
1. A player verbally anounces raise when it is his turn to act. 2. A bet of more than a single chip that is equal to or greater than one and a half bets. Since this is 5/10, his reraise bet was 3 5s and 1 25, or $40, more than plenty for the raise. The raise should have stood. |

[/ QUOTE ] I've played in clubs where if you don't say "raise" you are required to put out at least the full amount needed to raise (e.g. eight $5 chips minimum in a 20-40 game on the flop). Lucky Derby in Sacramento and I believe Casino Arizona both have this rule. That said, this situation should have been considered a legitimate raise. |

If you silently throw out seven chips on an early round, some nit can call "String Raise" and the dealer will disallow the raise. |

It's not the dealer's job to call a string bet. Remind him and the floorman of this and make sure it doesn't happen again.
