To clarify one point.
The "regular" grabbed a handful of 25 cent chips (as many as you can hold with a "claw hand" pick-up, about 20 usually for me) and moved over the table (about elbow distance) in-front of him and started "dispensing" $1.00 stacks of four 25 cent piles after declaring his "raise" to the checker.
The chip stack in his "claw" counted out to about $5.50 and as he was counting them aloud, he said "Let's make it $7.00" and grabbed another $1.50 from the stacks infront of him and rounded out the amount.
Would you consider this a string bet?
