Title: Ruling please
Post by: Checkitdown on January 15, 2014, 10:46:57 PM
In a tournament ..
Blinds 400-800
Player has limped UTG
Another player is all in for 3900
I have JJ in BB , my intention is to call and without saying anything I throw a 100 chip in , as I am picking up 3x1000 chips the player UTG pushes all in for around 20k . I fold my hand and the dealer asks me to put the other 3k in which I refuse to do stating that I never announced call, and that I should only forfeit the 900. The player wasn't happy but the dealer agreed with me ..
Is this the right ruling ?

What???  So you want to call the 3900 then change your mind afterwards?  Maybe we can call an all in then take our chips out if we lose?  More worryingly, the dealer actually agreed???

I assumed because player has acted out of turn before I have put all my chips in I have option to fold without putting any more chips in , considering I didn't verbally say call.

The action of throwing the chip forward is the same as calling, if the player who shoved did so after you threw the 100 in then your still deemed to have called the bet.

You lose the 100 you've already thrown in but you can keep the rest.

What do you reckon, Kanye?

you put chips in
 its either a call or a raise you cant put 900 in when the bet is 3900

i do not understand why you did not raise to 8 and call off but each to his own

Fair enough , I was wrong. unanimous decision it should have been 3900. It's just that so many times I have seen people limp in without realising someone has raised or gone all in before them and then they have just folded and lost the chips they put in. I'm assuming they are also wrong and should be held to calling the raise/all in ??

Usually when people are let off for this it is clearly an accident and not a barefaced attempt to angle.

It wasn't an angle shoot . If the dealer had told me the correct rule then I would have put the 3900 ( I think the dealer thought the same as me in that the all in out I turn gave me an option to fold without putting anymore chips , a sort of punishment for acting out of turn) . The whole reason I am posting on here is to find out the correct rule for future reference ( and to correct the dealer !! )
All the feedback has been much appreciated !!!

Its not out of turn if you've called though. Which you have, bar putting the chips

I don't even get why it would be 900 you forfeit. 

Clearly you should lose 3900, but how did we ever get to 900?

I have JJ in BB

without saying anything I throw a 100 chip in

800+100 = 900.

Obv you've called by putting the 100 in. Not sure how you could think anything different. Even you've said you intended to call and we all know that throwing a chip in here is a way of calling, the rest of the chips just haven't been put in yet. Clearly you lose all 3900.

e.g. if you bet the river in a hand vs someone, they go all-in and you toss in 1 chip more (i.e. call) you can't then not pay the rest when they show you the nuts. You've called.

Should lose them all for folding the JJ in first place

I find the sullen string call starting with the toss of a single chip to be quite distressing - seems to becoming de rigeur. Stop posing folks and play cards.

Lame angle shoots like this are worse tho tbf

Think its fine on river decisions when you're calling a bet as it speeds up play not counting out the exact call beforehand (obviously if you win then it makes doing that a pointless task).

In this example it seems like it probably slowed the game down, rather than speeding it up though.

Agree with those saying what are you doing folding JJ here?! its like 25bb or something, get the high-fives in.

Had a very similar thread on a different forum, can't be arsed to write out another one lol:

The lazy call, really pisses me off. Some "Pro's" in the bigger games have introduced a habit that seems to becoming the norm (and for some reason accepted by dealers?). I first came across this dealing in an EPT in Barcelona and was amazed at the outcome.
 
Preflop Player A (UTG) raised all-in, Player B (UTG +1) says nothing and throws in 1 hundred chip, I was like WTF? player had a go at me and says obviously it is a call, and told me it was in the rules? Confident it wasn't I called the floor, and they backed the player up, saying if a player puts any chips into the pot following an all-in they are accepting the action. This is utter bollox btw unless playing heads up (for the exact reason shown in the OP). Confirmed by the TD after I came off the table and queried.
 
Action follows action, if headphone man sees the player to his right throw a single chip in, he should be able to assume that the bet will be no larger than that chips value.
 
It actually takes less effort to just say "call" rather than flick a chip in and look like a knob.

If action is now on headphone man, he can now see the player to his immediate right has cards and no chips have gone in, he will now ask what the action is or at least check everyone elses action himself.
 
Ironically, if a player tries to match the call without saying anything and puts a number of chips that he thinks matches the call and makes a mistake (i.e. someone bets 95k and the action player puts 45k in and didn't see the 50k chip mixed in a lower value stack) then they have the option of making up to 95k or forfeiting the 45k.
 
In short, the dealer should be telling the chip flicker to say call (without any chips) or push the call over the line, so by the time it gets to headphone man he will know what is going on as would the rest of the table lol.
 
I am however a strong advocate of each player should follow the action, just think it is a real twatty move to put one chip in for a call in a multi way pot :)

Edit: the fact you flicked in one chip (as you say indicating a call) trying to get out of it is the angle, disgusting behaviour but in my rule book that would all you would have to put in. However if you flicked one chip in if I was dealing before I proceed to the next player I would be asking you WTF that was lol

"I throw a 100 chip in , as I am picking up 3x1000 chips the player UTG pushes all in"
 i assumed he meant 1000 chip in with the 3 others to follow unless he was intending to call 3900 by putting 3100 in lol

OP is in the BB, he has already Posted an 800 Blind, so it is only 3,100 to call.

I've always found this a bit of a bollocks rule.

Chips should only be in the pot as a result of betting or calling a bet.

In the above example if we are going to give the player the benefit of the doubt of a mistake for whatever reasons his options should be put in the full 95k or withdraw his 45k and fold.

Leaving in the extra chips affects how the rest of the hand might play out. e.g. the betting player might have been bluffing. The calling player would fold for the full 95k but if he's forced to leave the 45k in he thinks f*ck it, may as well flick in the extra 50k. Unfair on the original bettor.

Think the rule is fine but the example isn't very good.  It's meant to be a "gross misunderstanding" eg player A mumbles "all in" and puts a handful of low denom chips forward with loads behind, player B puts in an amount to match the low denom chips, as he didn't hear the "all in". 

btw agree that this pish about putting one chip in and saying nothing = call should be stamped out




and national service should be reintroduced.

I personally think that throwing 1 chip in is a pretty standard call known to everyone.  Has the effect of speeding up the game instead of the table waiting for you to count your chips out, say call or throw in a solitary chip, the action carries o. Round while you put the correct amount in, the dealer should quickly check amounts as the pot is gathered when action is complete.  A standard action recognised by everyone.

I don't like a ONE CHIP CALL. Firstly it can be a angle shoot ,secondly  it can be player drop a chip while fiddling and thinking at same time , thirdly flicked a chip in and hope for other player to turn over his hand . If it's won u get the chips but if u loose u argue that u haven't call yet. FLOOR PLEASE !! Seen it before and this is why I don't like one chip call except if it's announced CALLED at same time !

If throwing one chip in the middle takes less time than saying the word "call", you're saying it wrong
