Poker TDA Rules & Procedures Questions, General / Re: Forward motion of cards or chips

You could have started a new thread, but whatever.
For the first case, some card rooms have a rule that any chips that cross the line, or go forward past the cards when there is no line, is the bet. I assume you don’t have that rule.
Without that rule, I would say that forward motion with chips indicates an intended bet. Bringing all the chips back forces a minimum bet. Not sure what kind of warning or penalty should be given.
Remind the other player, and the rest of the table, “and that’s why we don’t take action until the prior players action is complete.”
For your second case, I would say that “all in? (question)” can be interpreted as “I’m going all in. You gonna call?” It’s still a question, and would rule it as an all in. Anything else would be angle shooting or trying to get a read, etc.
I will give a penalty to both players, as well as write up to the Dealer for allowing a pot to be awarded when there was a discrepancy that the floor has not had a chance to take a look at.
