Hello,
Simple case but with different rules in Europe:
Player A at small blind (blinds 25-50)
All the players before him fold
Player A (with no change) throws (in silence) a single 500 chip near is 25 SB ...
- Do we consider the 25 SB as not an action from player A? (because it was a forced blind bet) ... so we apply the "oversized chip" rule #32 and consider it a CALL?
- Do we count the 25 SB chip plus the 500 chip as "multiple chips" rule #33? So because we can't remove ANY chip and be UNDER a call ... we would apply the rule #31 and it will be a RAISE of total 525!
What about in the same kind (blinds 25-50):
Player A (in middle position) calls at 50
Player B (at the button) raises at 150
Everybody fold and turn to act is back to Player A
Player A (with no more 25 neither 100 change) throws (in silence) a single 500 chip (near is two 25 chips "call" chips) ...
- "oversized rule" rule #32? (so it's a call at 150)!
- "multiple chips" rule #33? (so it's a raise at 550)!
PS: The courage in this forum is not to be afraid of looking stupid with your own questions ... hope you will not juge me that way!
