Message: [QUOTE="Jillychemung, post: 800489, member: 34081"] I think of string bets pretty simply as trying to put chips into the pot more than once without making a verbal bet. Verbal bets are binding and can't be overridden after the fact by how many chips you put in the pot. Without a verbal bet, you may only make [B]one[/B] action into the pot with chips and this [B]one[/B] action is the one that is evaluated as to whether it is a call or raise. If you verbally announce, [B][I]6 on top[/I][/B], then you can make as many motions into the pot as you want to accomplish this. If you make no announcement and were to just put in 2 and then try to put in 6 for the raise, you would not be allowed to put in the 6. You first motion was with 2 and that would be deemed your action and a call. And if you verbally only say [I][B]Raise[/B][/I], then you are allowed 2 motions into the pot. The first to put in the chips to make the call and the second to put in the chips for the raise. [/QUOTE]
