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? |
A. My first impression was that the vistor was arguing semantics, and is a NIT.
B. But, the way you describe the regular's bet, that is starting to get in the gray area for me. Especially if he's counting off the bet while watching his opponent. Could be construed as an angle shoot of sorts...not saying that's what he did....
When you lay out the money, count it out and then go back for more, that's starting to look like a string bet to me, regardless of what you called it, raise or bet.
