There are lots of possible rules to designate when I can say they are done acting. Some are better than others .... But there must be a rule of some sort and therefore there will always be something that is a "string bet"
Just because there is a rule doesn't mean the players should dogmatically ask for it to be enforced.
The floor should have a very clear set of guidelines on whether this is a call or raise.
But the floor should not be called. This is a case where someone clearly has watched way more TV poker than played poker. And her behavior is very easily corrected with a polite request.
People need to stop nitting up the entry level games with pro level enforcement of the rules.
"But but but what if" everyone always asks on this forum. And it's right to an extent, maybe she's not new to poker at all and secretly a shark trying to angleshoot. Maybe she's so expert that she's tossing in a chip and midair gauging your reaction and recalculating ranges and decision trees on the fly.
Or maybe like most of us she learned poker from Star Trek The Next Generation and thinks "I see your 500 and raise you 100" is totally normal.
