Default Hand at Taj I want to double the raise is this a string bet?

Villian bets the river with obvious three of a kind. I have the nut flush.

Villian raises $400, I want to double that. I stack my chips and am one chip short. What happens?

DID u say raise if u did it stands as min raise is double his bet. I think it would stand anyway. But always say raise and say the amount as that way if your short its not considered a string.

You didn't say raise, so it's just a call. If you're playing a little 2/4 limit table, the dealer will often just let you know and give you the option to put in what you need to. But with that much money involved, the rules are going to be followed a bit more strictly. As such, it's just a call. If the floor was called over, that's probably what they'd rule, too.

Just get in the habit of saying "raise" if you want to raise.

I don't know the house rules at the Taj - but in MOST places that I've played, if you put out half (or more) of the minimum raise, it's considered a raise, and you must complete it to the minimum.

However, I've also played at one place where if you didn't say raise, and didn't put out the full raise, you're SOL, you can only call.

So, I guess the answer is, it depends on the house rule.

were they reds? greens? blacks? I think your intent is obvious and the raise should stand altho with black chips I can see some people suspecting an angle. (I'm assuming your not all-in and wanted a reraise)

the chips were all multi-coloured and here they were all green. I think my intent is obvious.

I'm assuming the villian called the string in a last ditch attempt to see if his hand was good (deep down he knew it wasn't). Hope the floor did its job properly. nh

eventually when we showed our cards the hero who called every raise cold was shocked when we flipped over our cards. He had three fives Ace kicker. He saw my 34o which completed the straight. Villian was dumbfounded as I play extremely tight and usually high cards in position etc.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this, whether Taj and other AC rooms rule this as a string bet or not
