String bet question

[X-Longshot-X]

annoying but not a string bet. He aanounced a raise and can stack and twiddle his chips all day if he wants to, because he didnt anounce an amount for his raise than the amount he raises is not determined until he pushes it into the pot. We had a problem with a guy doing this at our home game this week, if its a home game just ask him to stop, if its at a casino the floorperson may put a stop to it for you.

This is the key. You are assuming he was stacking and twiddling his chips NEXT to his stack (behind his cards). If that was the case, this would be correct, but Zybomb said his hand was in the pot.
