Hesitated when cutting chips past the line, dealer called the bet early - Page 2 - Poker Card Room

Because there are so many different house rules just cut your chips correctly from you stack and only bring those chips forward. As mentioned above, some rooms count all chips you move forward or move past the line as part of the bet.

In your room can I bring chips forward in my hand cut out 3, pause with my hand over line, look at opponent and then cut more? I assume the OP's one sec pause was more like two or three if not more unless we think dealer just does not like OP.

I've never even heard of a room where you could possibly have trouble by counting out your chips ahead of time and then putting them in play. I've never heard of a room that doesn't hold verbal bets ahead of a physical action to be binding.

The first place I ever played live poker hand a strictly enforced betting line, so I taught myself to figure out what I'm betting, cut it out behind the line, and move forward with it.

Verbal is the best way.

By far.

Way too many people end up making way too many mistakes because they want to make a demonstrative, theatrical show of their betting. Pushing out chips they don't want to bet and then pulling them back, hesitating, stacking chips into piles and then pushing several piles out in one shove, etc.

Just say what you want to do. "I bet 45". Then you don't have to worry about how you cut the chips out. And you protect your action, which is 30 times more important than putting on a show.
