Just to clarify, the TDA rules has two separate rule s. One is the Oversize Chip Betting Rule which covers when you bet a single oversize chip. The second rule is the Multiple Chip Betting Rule, which covers when you bet more than one chip. And then they have the Previous Bets Not Pulled In Rule which warns you to be careful about betting when you already have chips bet in front of you (with or without change due) because you may unintentionally trigger the Multiple Chip Bet Rule or the Oversize Chip Rule.
Quote:
45: Oversized Chip Betting
When facing a bet or blind, pushing out a single oversized chip is a call if raise isn’t first declared. To raise with an oversized chip, raise must be declared before the chip hits the table surface. If raise is declared but no amount, the raise is the maximum allowable for the chip. When not facing a bet, pushing out an oversized chip without declaration is a bet of the maximum for the chip.
46: Multiple Chip Betting
When facing a bet, unless raise is declared first, a multiple-chip bet is a call if every chip is needed to make the call; i.e. removal of just one of the smallest chips leaves less than the call amount. Example: preflop, 200-400 blinds: A raises to 1200 total (an 800 raise), B puts out two 1000 chips without declaring raise. This is just a call because removing one 1000 chip leaves less than the amount to call (1200). If the single removal of just one of the smallest chips leaves the call amount or more, the bet is governed by the 50% standard in Rule 43. See Addendum.
47: Previous Bet Chips Not Pulled In
A: If a player bets when facing a raise and has chips in front of him not yet pulled in from a prior bet, the “prior” chips (and any change due) may affect whether his action is ruled a call or re-raise. Because several possibilities exist, players should declare their bets before putting out new chips on top of prior- bet chips not yet pulled in.
B: If facing action, clearly pulling back prior bet chip(s) binds a player to call or raise.
