Betting Question Regarding tournament play
Categories: PokerPosted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 by LaParka
If anybody can answer this question or give their opinion, I would really appreciate it: If a person raises in front of me and I put more chips on the table than the original raise, and say “raise” while I’m letting the chips go from my hand, is this interpreted as a raise or just a call. How is this different from someone just pushing all his/her chips on the table implying they are all in and not saying anything (besides the obvious all in)?

The raise should be stated as an amount. The All-in will be counted down if asked by a caller.

By stating raise and putting more than 2x the amount to call on the table that is your call + swag (stated wager). It would imply that you are not raising anymore than the amount put into the middle.
If however you were to announce “raise” and proceed to put only the call amount, your swag amount could then be put into the middle.
