String bet question

[bunny]

That's what I was referring to in my post.

If your min raise isn't met, and you had announced a "Raise", you are allowed to go back to your chip stack until that min raise is met.(Dealer will motion you to do so). If you met you're min raise requirement and removed your hand from the pot in front of you, then you may not go back to get more chips to add to it. The dealer will disallow that.

If you dont raise the minimum and let go, the dealer will instruct you that you need X more dollars to raise...and your raise becomes a min. raise, you can not make it bigger

Isn't that, more or less, what I just said?

Yed, but you are talking about something else. You can't "string bet" a minimum raise (assuming you said the words "raise"). That would be like saying "Call" for a $20 bet and only putting $10 in the pot. You'll be instructed to put another $10 in the pot, but this isn't a "string call." LOL...

The dealer will not "allow" you to go back to your stack to complete your minimum raise - the dealer will "make" you go back to your stack to complete your minimum raise.

If you lead out for $100 and I say "raise" and put $101 in the pot, he will MAKE me put $99 more into the pot, because that's the minimum raise.

Bad choice of word, on my part. Replace "allow" with "MAKE"! I meant what you just said, though. I bet if you were Canadian, you'd have understood me right away.
