Yes, racking chips at the table is not an outright declaration that u are to be dealt out, most dealers will ask u if u're playing the hand right before he/she deals, or simply deal u a hand if u remain silent while racking the chips.

Yes, i agree that in fairness, the player in question was definitely not trying an angle-shoot of any sort, it was simply a failure of understanding the basic etiquette of not going south in poker. The question I have is, is going south an etiquette, or is it a rule that u cannot go south? Big difference between etiquette and if it's a rule.

Obviously if it's just etiquette that going south is frowned upon, then I have no issues with the ruling. However, if it is a rule that a player CANNOT go south, then the verbal declaration is definitely binding and the full stack should be in play. As i said, what the player did was genuine without any ill intentions, however, everyone has to pay for their mistakes, just like if they misread their hand and call a shove on the river with 7 hi when they thought they had a straight, doesn't mean they don't have to pay out.

For all that's interested in the remainder of the hand, this is it. I repopped it to $133 (my stack was about 1k), everyone groaned and moaned and folded back to him. He eyed me for about 15 secs then called.
