Where's that video from the WSOP 10-15 years ago where the Russian moves in a stack, then pulls it back and bets two chips and the floor is called and the floor ruled the bet was only the two chips?
I was temporarily transported to a live game where I’m drunk, happy, and cordial (and probably drunk and happy due to several cordials).This is the most respectful post I've ever seen you write. Where did the bad man touch you?
How did you know this.The stack he moved across the betting line contained more than $30.
Because there are two types of people in this world, those that can infer by data given ...How did you know this.
The only casino that you can play cash games in my city have rules stating the followingI've only heard of what passes the line (in a cash game) is the bet at one casino, talk about an easy angle.
This is the worse nonsense in poker. You can find rules (written) that say if a player picks up 30 in chips, moves them past the betting line and with their hand still past the betting line, can add to the bet. They can also move chips into the pot if the first hand is posted in the pot. I'm not saying I agree with all this, but I think in the best spirit of the game. If there is a pause and the player keeps doing and say they watch someone else as they do it, you can claim an angle.
If the player picked up 40 to drop chips into the pot, and with the hand over the line puts down the 40, and says 60, the bet should be 60. There are aspects where if the next player makes an action, because the current player is too slow, it can affect the outcome.
Tournament play I would defer, but cash, the spirit of the game is action, let the action play!
YesThe important question I haven’t seen asked yet (not on page 2 though) is this the card licker?
Bet is $15 BTW, if you say otherwise, you are wrong.
I've done this actually. It's called a Stone Cold Post Malone.I would hit the player with a chair, snap suplex him on the hood of the car of the player I liked the least at the game, and then force him to eat each of the 6 redbirds that he illegally bet while writing “I will not string bet” on his own face with permanent marker.
He then releases three red chips ($15) over the line
$15 bet, and a warning that next time it's the entire stack.
Never $30, that's a clear string bet.
this. was the stack slide across the felt? was the stack in the players hand and still in the are when motioning forward? those details matter.How fast and smooth did it happen? Sounds like verbal was too late…idk definitely one you need to be there to see how it went down
No. Because if they happened at the same time, verbal controls. But that’s not what happened here.
I think I misunderstood what happened in the OP. It sounded like to me the player picked up 30 in chips, but three were lost in their grip and fell over the line, but in the next motion the remaining three went over, and then announced his bet of 30.Lol.
[moves entire stack forward but doesn't let go.]
[Waits 30 seconds, looking at opponent to react.]
[Verbalizes "check."]
Chips fell back.I think I misunderstood what happened in the OP. It sounded like to me the player picked up 30 in chips, but three were lost in their grip and fell over the line, but in the next motion the remaining three went over, and then announced his bet of 30.
If they put 15 out, waited a bit, and then deliberately put out 15 more for 30, then yeah, that's a string bet, and I'd hold them to the 15.
Then the 30's binding. It does sound like they meant to put 30 out but dropped a couple before verbal action was taken a split second after.Chips fell back.
Chips were released.
30 verbalized.
Some fallen chips added.
Whole second and half. Not split second. How long of a gap between chips and verbal before you'd say the bet is 15?Then the 30's binding. It does sound like they meant to put 30 out but dropped a couple before verbal action was taken a split second after.
Did it work?I've done this actually. It's called a Stone Cold Post Malone.
RIP fallen chips. You’re all heroes to me.Chips fell back.
Chips were released.
30 verbalized.
Some fallen chips added.
This is what we did.At my home game almost certainly it’s a warning/needle to bet more carefully then let player bet as intended for $30.
Kicked out on two.RIP fallen chips. You’re all heroes to me.
Why not verbalize "50" on your way out? As you're doing this, no one has any way of knowing if you want to bet 5, 10, 50, or the whole 100 until you're done cutting chips. It creates a spot that you could take advantage of in exactly the way that the prohibition on string bets is meant to prevent.As you guys knows we play with a lot of $5s, I’ll grip a barrel with my hand and come across the line and release two stacks of $25, boom, $50 bet, then pull my hand back w the rest of the $5s barreled in my hand ($50 bet/$50 remain in my grip.)
It's never a problem until it's a problem.This has never been a problem.
How would you rule?
Post flop, when checked to, a player picks up a stack of chips, moves the stack over the betting line. A few chips fall off the top, back towards his stack and behind the line. He then releases three red chips ($15) over the line. Then a second later says $30, and fishes the chips that fell backwards to complete the bet.
THIS.$15 bet, and a warning that next time it's the entire stack.
Never $30, that's a clear string bet.

This has never been a problem.
If you're saying you have a full barrel in your hand, you move out, drop $25 in one pile, then slide over and drop $25 more in another pile, then take the rest back without verbalizing anything, then by my understanding that is the very definition of a string bet and should not be allowed.If $15 fell from the barrel I would just continue my motion to make it $50.
If I pulled back and went forward again…too late.
If all the motions were consistent and I added verbal sure you’re good…make it $50.
How fast and smooth did it happen? Sounds like verbal was too late…idk definitely one you need to be there to see how it went down.
Oh yeah, there was joking and insulting. For the entire rest of the night.Friendly home game? I’m going w a warning and an insult/joke to the player to teach him a lesson.
