Is this close to a string raise?
10/20 game. On river, I put 4 chips in my right hand and 4 in my left. Both hands are moving out. I flipped out 4 chips onto the table from right and then 4 from my left next to the chips I already flipped out.
At some point during this process, I did say raise as well. But I'm not sure at what point I said it. Just what I do sometimes. I didn't think it was even close. But my opponent complained and the dealer said it was close but he allowed the raise. Even if I did not say raise, is it close? I didn't reach back for some chips. Both hands were moving out at the same time. I just dropped them at different times. |

Use 1 hand, 1 motion. Don't be one of those tools.

Why do you need to be different? You're only going to get people upset.

I think it's fine as long as you never pull back the second hand and just call.
