Message: [QUOTE="SavagePenguin, post: 1264411, member: 22087"] Oz has it down for most casinos. If you announce "Raise to $100" then you can do the hokey-pokey with your chips, just as long as $100 ends up in the pot. Putting a big chip in without saying "raise" is considered a call. You get change back. Saying "raise" then putting in a big chip is a raise. Putting in a big chip then saying "raise" is string bet, which is not legal, so it is considered a call and you get change back. Putting in multiple chips, but going back to put more in is a string bet, and the extra chips do not count. If your first motion put less than 2x the last bet, the extra chips go back to your stack. (That is, with 5/10 blinds if you put in 18, then put in 30 more, the 30 is returned and the 8 is returned because it was not enough for a raise so it was just a call. But if you put 23 in then put in 30 more with a second motion, the 30 is returned and the BB will have to put in 13 to call you.) [/QUOTE]
