My personal feelings are whatever chips you bring past the line are your bet. Even if...

I've never really bought into the the whole its an angle to look for a reaction from other players while you bet thing. The real problem with a string bet is not that i might see a reaction in a player as I bet, but that in a true string bet I can make my opponent think I have finished acting and then he starts to act I then continue my action.

So if the rule is that my action isn't finished until I bring back my hand, players have no reason to believe my action is over as...

my issue here isnt the shortage of required chips, but the cutting out the call - pausing - and then saying raise. its opening the door for angleshooting.

In my room this would be a legal raise and as the floor ruled the player would be bound to make the minimum raise.

Our rule is that your action is not complete until you bring your hand back, so merely cutting out the chips while keeping your hand out in the betting area you still have the right to continue your action. Once he said raise while his hand was still out there he became obligated to raise, so the fact that he was short the raise amount doesn't matter.

playing 2-5 NL i bet $65 on the flop and the player behind me bring out a stack, cuts out $60 in checks, stalls for about a second and then says raise and cuts out the remaining chips in his hand which are a chip or two short of a min raise. before i can call string bet the dealer has called the floor over and his ruling is that it IS a legal raise and the player is bound to the minimum raise.

now, i say it was a string raise as he had already started cutting his checks and this is...
