Is this a string bet?

why didnt he pull back the 3 red chips and leave the green chip that would cover the raise?

It's not a string bet, but why did they both check their full houses on the river?

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.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that thought that. If the other player did not say anything the dealer should not have spoken up.

That's just the kind of players they were. I played less than an hour and saw someone just call with the nuts. Looks like a profitable place to play.

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.

...and the Hideaway in Seattle, where they play the 4/8 game with $1 chips. If you silently throw out seven chips on an early round, some nit can call "String Raise" and the dealer will disallow the raise.

That really depends on wehre you are. In southern Cal it is not the dealer's job. Most other markets the dealer does call string raises.

I've wondered about that -- in the bay area the dealers constantly call string-raises. Is it that location dependant?
