Question about String bets
 

Blinds are 150/300. The player to act does not verbally say anything, but throws a 1000 chip into the center. Is this considered a raise to 1000?

I was under the impression that if nothing was verbally said and one chip, larger than the blinds is thrown in it is considered a call and the player can not raise.

Which is correct?

Call.

This is a call.

I got called for a string bet once in a 1/2 B&M game when i tried to raise to 4 on the turn. I had 4 chips in one hand, reached out, way in front of me and dropped two, then another two right after each other. I mean, drop-drop. Almost simultaneously.

What I had been upset about was I had just played a NLHE tourney before that and a guy reached forward with a stack, and tried to drop just half of it. They made him leave the whole stack in the pot because he had put them acrosse the imaginary bet line. :confused:

I would've been satisfied with consistency.

whoa making him leave the whole stack.. thats a little ridiculous.

That's how they do it on the boat here. There is literally a line. If your chips cross it, that's the bet.

Same with the B&M here in Jax.
