Raise or Call?

[cod meharly]

Why is this a raise, again?

If you are facing a bet that requires you to use two chips to call, and you throw them in. (in this case 2 x 100 chips) then you've called unless you state otherwise. I am assuming you didn't announce anything and in that case I'd make that go as a call.

But what do I know.

so its 150 for you to call and you throw in 2x 5k chips you think this stands as a call because u didnt state ur intention to raise?  I am certain that if you throw in 2x5k chips its a raise so why would it differ if you throw in 2x100 chips as the chips add up to a min raise.....in this case there are 25 chipsin play so its not like the 100 chips are the smallest denomination of chips....

obviously different places will make different rullings from time to time but surely if by throwing in 2 higher denomination chips it is a raise so therefor surely this is a raise ..no?

in the op only one of the chips exceeds the amount required to call, but if you put in 2x5k, both the chips exceed the amount.

2 x 100 chips is a call IMO unless verbally stated

The WSOP rules cover something similar

i.e. blinds are 300/600 and a player throws 2 x 500 , technically the excess is over 50% of the min raise so a min raise it is supposed to be if you take it literally. Thankfully  the sensible option is written down here http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/pdfs/wsop.tournament-rules.08.pdf rule 55

If a player puts in a raise of 50 percent or more of the previous bet but less than the minimum raise, he or she will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed. In no-limit and pot-limit, an all-in bet of less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who has already acted. Putting a single oversized chip into the pot will be considered a call if the player doesn’t announce a raise. Putting in two $500 chips on a 300-600 blind level without an announcement will also be considered a call even though it is two chips

the wsop rules also state that u can slide your stack into the middle of the table  without letting go of it then pull it back in and that stands as no betting action as you didnt release your stack......plz dont use there rullings coz they suck

This rule is irrelevant the player has not put in a raise.  The thread is about this point.

I was referring to the 50% bit

[cod meharly]

the rulling is....anyone who wants to min raise there shouldnt be aloud to play the game! so its a flat imo

If it's 150 to call and you throw in 2 x 5k chips, obviously that's a raise. Way to completely twist my point.

If the blinds are 1000 - 2000 and someone raises to 6000 and then you throw in 2x5k chips. That isn't a min raise unless you verbally declare a raise. Elsewise, it's goes as a call.

Not going to argue further about it, anyway. If you think it's a raise, then you call it a raise.
