Ok at the last summit, rule 33 was adopted after much discussion. I need someone to tell me why putting 2-1000 chips in the pot a total of 2,000 is not a full raise when putting 1-1000 chip and 2-500 chips, again a total of 2,000 is. I understand the part about removing one chip and the remainder not being enough to call. If this is a call, then I submit the rule is entirely too complicated for the average Joe to understand.
I agree that the player could have eliminated the whole problem had he said 'raise' and that verbalizing one's bets is best.
The problem is that, using this example, sometimes 2000 is a raise and sometimes it isn't. There must be a way to make this better.
