Dave,
I used "clarification" not "confirmation" By definition clarification: to make clear or easier to understand.
Mike, thanks for your response. I fully understand what the rule implies...it's just another TDA rule that needs more work. I will never be a fan of any rule, that alters the obvious intended amount of any raise.
One more situation. Player A bets 2,000...Player B says "Raise" pushes 2,000 forward and then says "8,000" while pushing 8,000 more forward. Is his total bet 8,000 (per TDA) or 10,000?
We used to always wait until we knew what the raise amount was. Now it's changed.
