I'm not joking at all. First of all, I would like to know why you are pausing so long (50 seconds is a long time). Generally when this happens, we are talking about it all being instantaneously. Someone reaches out and starts cutting a stack when they realize they don't have enough so they state the amount they want to bet while they are still cutting the stack out. So, if you continue to abuse this and hold your hand out there mid cut while staring your opponent down to get a read, I am going to ask you to get real and knock that **** off.

"String Raise"
Noun
An increase to the size of a previous bet using more than one statement about the wager or using multiple motions to put chips into the pot; a raise that is made in the form of a string bet.
I don't allow string raises in my room either.
I think you and I disagree about whether or not we are talking about a string raise. Even by your quoted definition it is not a string raise. It is one motion and a verbal statement at the same time. I am simply allowing the verbal statement to be valid. Anyone that acts before my hand comes out of the betting area is acting out of turn anyway and will face those consequences.
