Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 800511, member: 23910"] Jilly's got it - I'll make a couple of quick edits to the OP to clarify that and the single overside chip rule. ...or maybe I won't - don't seem to have an edit button on the OP, suspect it's because it's so giganto-huge already :p So: [B]String bets, part deux:[/B] Jilly is right on the string betting issue. If you make [I]no[/I] announcement, only your first betting motion will be allowed to stand (and you'll be required to correct it to make it either a complete call, or a complete minimum raise if you get the amount wrong somehow). If you announce [I]"raise"[/I] and nothing else, you're allowed to make two motions: one to put in the amount for the call, and a second to put in the amount for your raise. If you announce [I]"raise" [/I]and then the amount, so [I]"Raise - $20K total"[/I] or [I]"Raise, $50K more"[/I] or the always fun [I]"Raise - all in"[/I], your verbal action will be binding and you'll be allowed to make as many motions as is required to get the right number of chips in the pot. FWIW, pros can actually be among the worst at string betting - you'll see pros at WSOP and WPT final tables making string bets fairly regularly. I think once you reach the final table of a big tournament they treat it kinda like the travel rule in professional basketball: they'll only pull you up on it if you don't do something cool afterwards. But for us mere mortals, it's best just to remember to verbally declare your actions. [B]Oversize chips, part deux:[/B] CfPoker is right: what I've said above only applies to [I]calling[/I] a bet. If you open the betting on any given round, the chip will play for its full value unless you announce otherwise. Note that, before the flop, an oversize chip should always be ruled as a call unless announced otherwise, because there's always a live bet (the big blind, at the very least) to you. [B]Moving seats:[/B] The above is also correct: while you can't usually choose your table or your initial seat, you can ask to change seats once you're at the table. [/QUOTE]
