I play regularly in tournaments where the player pool is relatively new and inexperienced. There is some bad habits regarding putting in chip amounts to make it easier for dealers to make change. Recently I've started pulling them up and forcing them to raise where I see this happening as my argument is when they move to outside games they will be put in terrible spots over this error. I shouldn't have to do this as it should be the dealer pulling them for it.
Problem now is one of the cardroom managers says what they are doing is fine and he would rule it as a call.
For my own sanity I'd like confirmation of the rule before correcting him as well.
Example 1
Player A limps for 300
Player B raises to 700
Player A throws a 1k chip in to the pot on top of the 3 chips already in there for the limp without saying call or raise. I'd argue that this is an automatic raise?
Example 2 (A very regular occurrence)
Player A raises to 600
Player B throws in a 1k and a 100 chip in without saying call raise or anything. They do this regularly in the belief it's easier for dealers to give them a 500 chip change. My belief is they are 3 betting the original raise by doing this?
Thanks in advance if any TD's could contribute to these queries for me or anyone in the know for that matter.
Also if it is a raise when does it become a raise ie. if the increase is over 50% or what?
They use the double the amount rule for raises in this club. ie raise to 600 reraise has to be 1200 min.
