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?

Eh, as stringy as a very very stringy thing.

That doesn't make him a bad person, but I can see how it might spark off a comment.
